In this work we present a framework of automatic non-photorealistic image processing techniques that create simplified stylistic illustrations from color images, videos and 3D renderings. To smooth low-contrast regions ...

This paper presents a novel interactive rendering technique for creating and editing shadings for man-made objects in technical 3D visualizations. In contrast to shading approaches that use intensities computed based on ...

In this work we present new weighting functions for the anisotropic Kuwahara filter. The anisotropic Kuwahara filter is an edge-preserving filter that is especially useful for creating stylized abstractions from images or ...

Virtual 3D building models, as key elements of virtual 3D city models, are used in a growing number of application domains, such as geoanalysis, disaster management and architectural planning. Visualization systems for ...

Representing Layered Depth Images (LDI) as 3D texture can be used to approximate complex, arbitrarily shaped volumes on graphics hardware. Based on this concept, a number of real-time applications such as collision detection ...

Visualization of data on structure and related temporal activity supports the analysis of correlations between the two types of data. This is typically done by linked views. This has shortcomings with respect to efficient ...

Software maps are a commonly used tool for code quality monitoring in software-development projects and decision making processes. While providing an important visualization technique for the hierarchical system structure ...

Interactive image deformation is an important feature of modern image processing pipelines. It is often used to create caricatures and animation for input images, especially photos. State-of-the-art image deformation ...
