    • Data-driven methods for interactive visual content creation and manipulation 

      Jain, Arjun (Jain, Arjun, 2014-03-19)
      Software tools for creating and manipulating visual content --- be they for images, video or 3D models --- are often difficult to use and involve a lot of manual interaction at several stages of the process. Coupled ...
    • Edit Propagation using Geometric Analogies 

      Guerrero, Paul (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 ...
    • High-Quality Real-Time Global Illumination in Augmented Reality 

      Kan, Peter (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 ...
    • Image Space Adaptive Rendering 

      Rousselle, Fabrice (2014-06-06)
      In this thesis, we develop an adaptive framework for Monte Carlo rendering, and more specifically for Monte Carlo Path Tracing (MCPT) and its derivatives. MCPT is attractive because it can handle a wide variety of light ...
    • Interactions with Gigantic Point Clouds 

      Scheiblauer, Claus (2014-06-25)
      During the last decade the increased use of laser range-scanners for sampling the environment has led to gigantic point cloud data sets. Due to the size of such data sets, tasks like viewing, editing, or presenting the ...
    • Inverse rendering for scene reconstruction in general environments 

      Wu, Chenglei (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 ...
