    • Computing Confidence Values for Geometric Constraints for use in Sketch Recognition 

      Johnston, Joshua; Hammond, Tracy (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      Geometric constraints are used by many sketch recognition systems to perform high-level assembly of components of a sketch into semantic structures. However, with a few notable exceptions, most of the current recognition ...

      In this paper, we explore a minimalistic, gesture-based interface for fluid freehand concept sketching with vector graphics. Our approach leverages the advantages of both the GUI and gestural interface paradigms. We describe ...

    • Exploring Usability and Learnability of Mode Inferencing in Pen/Tablet Interfaces 

      Negulescu, Matei; Ruiz, Jaime; Lank, Edward (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      The inferred mode protocol uses contextual reasoning and local mediators to eliminate the need to access specific modes to perform draw, select, move and delete operations in a sketch interface. In this paper, we describe ...

    • Feature Extraction and Classifier Combination for Image-based Sketch Recognition 

      Tumen, R. Sinan; Acer, M. Emre; Sezgin, T. Metin (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      Image-based approaches to sketch recognition typically cast sketch recognition as a machine learning problem. In systems that adopt image-based recognition, the collected ink is generally fed through a standard three stage ...

    • Folding Avoidance in Skeletal Strokes 

      Asente, Paul J. (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      Skeletal strokes is a method for mapping vector artwork defined along a straight path onto an arbitrary destination path. It is commonly used to give sketches a hand-drawn look, by mapping a scanned natural-medium stroke ...

    • Inkus: A Freehand Method of Creating Business Process Models 

      Mangano, Nicolas; Sukaviriya, Noi (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      Business process modeling has become an industry wide practice for business transformation consulting. Tools that support business process modeling are designed for experienced users to draw a process with precision and ...

    • Investigating the Learnability of Immersive Free-Hand Sketching 

      Wiese, Eva; Israel, Johann Habakuk; Meyer, Achim; Bongartz, Sara (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      Immersive modeling systems which allow for sketching and constructing three-dimensional product models receive growing interest from both academic research and industry [DBWB*00; FASM02; IWMS09; KAMD*08; KAML*01]. The ...

    • Modeling 2.5D Plants from Ink Paintings 

      Amati, Cristina; Brostow, Gabriel J. (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      Chinese ink painting, known as sumi-e, is a traditional art form based on careful placement of expressive brush strokes. To extend such brush strokes from their paper form, we propose a system that can digitize and transform ...

    • Modeling-in-Context: User Design of Complementary Objects with a Single Photo 

      Lau, Manfred; Saul, Greg; Mitani, Jun; Igarashi, Takeo (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      The products that we use everyday are typically designed and produced for mass consumption. However, it is difficult for such products to satisfy the needs of individual users. We present a framework that allows the end-user ...

    • A Pen-Based Tool for Visualizing Vector Mathematics 

      Bott, Jared N.; Jr., Joseph J. LaViola (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      We present VectorPad, a novel, pen-based application for three-dimensional vector mathematics visualization. VectorPad allows users to define vectors and perform mathematical operations on them through the recognition of ...

    • The Power of Automatic Feature Selection: Rubine on Steroids 

      Blagojevic, Rachel; Chang, Samuel Hsiao-Heng; Plimmer, Beryl (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      Digital ink features drive recognition engines. Intuitively, we understand that particular features are of more value for some problems than others. Likewise, inclusion of poor features may be detrimental to recognition ...
