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 ...

Visualization plays an important role in image guided surgery. This paper presents a real-time 3D motion visualization method where pre-computed meshes of the beating heart are synchronized with and overlaid onto live X-ray ...

With the rapid growth of mobile graphics applications, non-photorealistic rendering algorithms developed particularly for devices with limited processor capabilities have become important in the areas of games design and ...

This paper presents a novel approach towards training with game elements in an interactive environment by means of OpenCrimeScene, a virtual 3D training system for crime scene investigation (CSI). The application is designed ...

With the developments of volume visualisation technology for complex data sets comes new challenges in terms of user interaction and information extraction. Volume haptics has proven itself to be an effective way of ...

This paper presents an efficient method to generate a large amount of continuous motion data from motion captured data. Given user defined way point lists for each agent, the algorithm can automatically generate collision ...

Abstract In this paper, we propose a conceptual framework for animating physically based forest fires. Animating forest fire is a computationally demanding task as trees are intricate structures and fire is a highly complex ...

This paper describes a new control mechanism for distributed rendering. Control mechanisms have previously been widely used in many fields from autonomous robots to video streaming. Their use in video streaming has allowed ...

This paper presents a novel image caching strategy implemented for our bifocal radial visualization for Intranet search visualization. This visualization displays search results by combining hierarchical information with ...

We present an overview of work in progress to create ageing functions for the transformation of human face images. Our aims are twofold; Firstly, by extension to three dimensions, the problems of pose and lighting associated ...
