Edit Propagation using Geometric Analogies
(2014-09-19)Modeling complex geometrical shapes, like city scenes or terrains with dense vegetation, is a time-consuming task that cannot be automated trivially. The problem of creating and editing many similar, but not identical ... -
Supporting Management of Sensor Networks through Interactive Visual Analysis
(2015-07-14)With the increasing capabilities of measurement devices and computing machines, the amount of recorded data grows rapidly. It is so high that manual processing is no longer feasible. The Visual Analytics approach is ... -
Data-driven Modelling of Shape Structure
(2015-09)In recent years, the study of shape structure has shown great promise, by taking steps towards exposing shape semantics and functionality to algorithms spanning a wide range of areas in computer graphics and vision. By ... -
Using natural user interfaces to support learning environments
(Riunet, 2015-09-24)Education is a field of research in which Natural User Interfaces (NUI) have not been extensively exploited. NUI can help in the learning process, specially when used by children. Nowadays, children are growing up playing ... -
Sketching free-form poses and movements for expressive character animation
(2015-07-02)Free-form animation allows for exaggerated and artistic styles of motions such as stretching character limbs and animating imaginary creatures such as dragons. Creating these animations requires tools flexible enough to ... -
Capacitive Sensing and Communication for Ubiquitous Interaction and Environmental Perception
(2015-06-08)During the last decade, the functionalities of electronic devices within a living environment constantly increased. Besides the personal computer, now tablet PCs, smart household appliances, and smartwatches enriched the ... -
Development and Improvement of Optical Tracking Methods towards Registering the Deformations of 3D Non- Rigid Bodies in Real Time for Augmented Reality Applications
(Servicio de Publicaciones. Univesidad de Navarra, 2015-03-27)Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that aims to embed virtual objects in the real world, showing to the user the set of objects (virtual and real) as a single world. For that purpose, it is necessary to offer a perfect ... -
Quad Layouts – Generation and Optimization of Conforming Quadrilateral Surface Partitions
(2014-12)The efficient, computer aided or automatic generation of quad layouts, i.e. the partitioning of an object’s surface into simple networks of conforming quadrilateral patches, is a task that – despite its importance and ... -
Path Sampling Techniques for Efficient Light Transport Simulation
(2015-06)Reproducing the interactions between light and matter in a physically accurate way can significantly improve the realistic appearance of synthetic images, however such effects can be very computationally expensive to ... -
Scalable Exploration of Highly Detailed and Annotated 3D Models
(2015)With the widespread availability of mobile graphics terminals and WebGL-enabled browsers, 3D graphics over the Internet is thriving. Thanks to recent advances in 3D acquisition and modeling systems, high-quality 3D models ... -
Adaptive Semantics Visualization
(2014-11-27)Human access to the increasing amount of information and data plays an essential role for the professional level and also for everyday life. While information visualization has developed new and remarkable ways for visualizing ... -
Illustrative Visualization of Medical Data Sets
(2015-01-29)The aim of an illustrative visualization method is to provide a simplified representation of a complex scene or object. Concave and convex regions are emphasized and the surface complexity is reduced by omitting unnecessary ... -
Inverse rendering for scene reconstruction in general environments
(Wu, Chenglei, 2014-07-10)Demand for high-quality 3D content has been exploding recently, owing to the advances in 3D displays and 3D printing. However, due to insufficient 3D content, the potential of 3D display and printing technology has ... -
Concepts and Algorithms for the Deformation, Analysis, andCompression of Digital Shapes
(von Tycowicz, 2014-05-05)We propose new model reduction techniques for the construction of reducedshape spaces of deformable objects and for the approximation ofreduced internal forces that accelerate the construction of a reduced dynamicalsystem, ... -
Understanding the Structure of 3D Shapes: PolyCubes and Curve-Skeletons
(Livesu, 2014-05-23)Compact representations of three dimensional objects are very often usedin computer graphics to create effective ways to analyse, manipulate andtransmit 3D models. Their ability to abstract from the concrete shapes andexpose ... -
Kaleidoscopic imaging
(Reshetouski, Ilya, 2014-11-06)Kaleidoscopes have a great potential in computational photography as a tool for redistributing light rays. In time-of-flight imaging the concept of the kaleidoscope is also useful when dealing with the reconstruction ... -
High-Quality Real-Time Global Illumination in Augmented Reality
(Kan, 2014-08-22)High-quality image synthesis, indistinguishable from reality, has been one of the most important problems in computer graphics from its beginning. Image synthesis in augmented reality (AR) poses an even more challenging ... -
