Processing Semantically EnrichedContent for Interactive 3D Visualizations
(Settgast, 13-05-28)Interactive 3D graphics has become an essential tool in many fields of application: In manufacturingcompanies, e.g., new products are planned and tested digitally. The effect of newdesigns and testing of ergonomic aspects ... -
Continuity and Interpolation Techniques for Computer Graphics
(González García, 2013)In Computer Graphics applications, it is a common practice to texture 3D models to applymaterial properties to them. Then, once the models are textured, they are deformedto create new poses that can be more appropriate for ... -
Interactive Visual Analysis in Automotive Engineering Design
(Konyha, 2013-02-01)Computational simulation has become instrumental in the design process in automotive engineering. Virtually all components and subsystems of automobiles can be simulated. The simulation can be repeated many times with ... -
Interactive Multiresolution and Multiscale Visualization of Large Volume Data
(Suter, 2013-03-01)Interactive visualization and analysis of large and complex volume data is an ongoingchallenge. Data acquisition tools produce hundreds of Gigabytes of data andare one step ahead of visualization and analysis tools. ... -
Reconstruction of 3D Models from Images and Point Clouds with Shape Primitives
(Reisner-Kollmann, 2013-03-12)3D models are widely used in different applications, including computer games, planning software, applications for training and simulation, and virtual city maps. For many of these applications it is necessary or at least ... -
Algorithms and Interfaces for Real-Time Deformation of 2D and 3D Shapes
(Jacobson, 2013-05-01)This thesis investigates computer algorithms and user interfaces which assist in the process of deforming raster images, vector graphics, geometric models and animated characters in real time. Many recent works have focused ... -
Surface Appearance Estimation from Video Sequences Supervisor
(Palma, 2013-06-07)The realistic virtual reproduction of real world objects using Computer Graphicstechniques requires the accurate acquisition and reconstruction of both 3D geometryand surface appearance. The ability to play interactively ... -
The Probabilistic Active Shape Model: From Model Construction to Flexible Medical Image Segmentation
(Kirschner, 2013-07-04)Automatic processing of three-dimensional image data acquired with computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging plays an increasingly important role in medicine. For example, the automatic segmentation of anatomical ... -
Filtering Techniques for Low-Noise Previews of Interactive Stochastic Ray Tracing
(Schwenk, 2013-07-05)Progressive stochastic ray tracing is increasingly used in interactive applications. Examples of such applications are interactive design reviews and digital content creation. This dissertation aims at advancing this ... -
Advanced Editing Methods for Image and Video Sequences
(Granados, 2013-09-10)In the context of image and video editing, this thesis proposes methods for modifying the semantic content of a recorded scene. Two different editing problems are approached: First, the removal of ghosting artifacts from ... -
Curve Analysis with Applications to Archaeology
(Kolomenkin, 2013-09-15)In this thesis we discuss methods for the definition, detection, analysis, and application ofcurves on surfaces. While doubtlessly as important as curves in images, curves on surfacesgained less attention. A number of ... -
Of Assembling Small Sculptures and Disassembling Large Geometry
(Kerber, 2013-09-17)This thesis describes the research results and contributions that have been achieved during the author's doctoral work. It is divided into two independent parts, each of which is devoted to a particular research aspect.The ... -
Data Driven Analysis of Faces from Images
(Scherbaum, Kristina, 2013-09-17)This thesis proposes three new data-driven approaches to detect, analyze, or modify faces in images. All presented contributions are inspired by the use of prior knowledge and they derive information about facial ... -
Statistical Part-based Models for Object Detection in Large 3D Scans
(Sunkel, 2013-09-17)3D scanning technology has matured to a point where very large scale acquisition of high resolution geometry has become feasible. However, having large quantities of 3D data poses new technical challenges. Many applications ... -
Volumetric Visualization Techniques of Rigid and Deformable Models for Surgery Simulation
(Herrera Asteasu, 2013-10-15)Virtual reality computer simulation is nowadays widely used in various fields, such as aviation, military or medicine. However, the current simulators do not completely fulfill the necessary requirements for some fields. ... -
Bayesian and Quasi Monte Carlo Spherical Integration for Global Illumination
(Marques, 2013-10-22)The spherical sampling of the incident radiance function entails a high computational cost. Therefore the illumination integral must be evaluated using a limited set of samples. Such a restriction raises the question of ... -
Shapes in Vector Fields
(Martinez Esturo, 2013-10-25)Geometric shapes are the basic building blocks of any graphicsrelated application.The effective manipulation of shapes is therefore of central interest formany relevant problems.In particular, there is a growing demand for ... -
