      Shape similarity is an acute issue in Computer Vision and Computer Graphics that involves many aspects of human perception of the real world, including judged and perceived similarity concepts, deterministic and probabilistic ...

    • Look me in the Eyes: A Survey of Eye and Gaze Animation for Virtual Agents and Artificial Systems 

      Ruhland, K.; Andrist, S.; Badler, J. B.; Peters, C. E.; Badler, N. I.; Gleicher, M.; Mutlu, B.; McDonnell, R. (The Eurographics Association, 2014)
      A person's emotions and state of mind are apparent in their face and eyes. As a Latin proverb states: ''The face is the portrait of the mind; the eyes, its informers.''. This presents a huge challenge for computer graphics ...

    • State of the Art Report on Real-time Rendering with Hardware Tessellation 

      Schäfer, H.; Nießner, M.; Keinert, B.; Stamminger, M.; Loop, C. (The Eurographics Association, 2014)
      For a long time, GPUs have primarily been optimized to render more and more triangles with increasingly flexible shading. However, scene data itself has typically been generated on the CPU and then uploaded to GPU memory. ...

    • Data-Driven Video Completion 

      Ilan, Shachar; Shamir, Ariel (The Eurographics Association, 2014)
      Image completion techniques aim to complete selected regions of an image in a natural looking manner with little or no user interaction. Video Completion, the space-time equivalent of the image completion problem, inherits ...

    • A Survey of Color Mapping and its Applications 

      Faridul, H. S.; Pouli, T.; Chamaret, C.; Stauder, J.; Tremeau, A.; Reinhard, E. (The Eurographics Association, 2014)
      Color mapping or color transfer methods aim to recolor a given image or video by deriving a mapping between that image and another image serving as a reference. This class of methods has received considerable attention in ...

    • SPH Fluids in Computer Graphics 

      Ihmsen, Markus; Orthmann, Jens; Solenthaler, Barbara; Kolb, Andreas; Teschner, Matthias (The Eurographics Association, 2014)
      Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) has been established as one of the major concepts for fluid animation in computer graphics. While SPH initially gained popularity for interactive free-surface scenarios, it has emerged ...

    • Physically-based Simulation of Cuts in Deformable Bodies: A Survey 

      Wu, Jun; Westermann, Rüdiger; Dick, Christian (The Eurographics Association, 2014)
      Virtual cutting of deformable bodies has been an important and active research topic in physically-based simulation for more than a decade. A particular challenge in virtual cutting is the robust and efficient incorporation ...

    • Post-Tessellation Geometry Caches 

      Sathe, Rahul; Foley, Tim; Salvi, Marco (The Eurographics Association, 2014)
      Current 3D rendering architectures support adaptive tessellation of patches, allowing for increased geometric detail. Patches are specified independently, giving the implementation freedom to exploit parallel execution. ...

    • Information-Guided Transfer Function Refinement 

      Luo, Shengzhou; Dingliana, John (The Eurographics Association, 2014)
