The vision of fully simulating characters and their environments has the potential to offer rich interactions between characters and objects in the virtual world. However, this introduces a challenging problem similar to ...

Groupwise image alignment automatically provides non-rigid registration across a set of images. It has found applications in facial image analysis and medical image analysis by automatically generating statistical models ...

We introduce Shadow Retargeting which maps real shadow appearance to virtual shadows given a corresponding deformation of scene geometry, such that appearance is seamlessly maintained. By performing virtual shadow ...

In Full-Reference Image Quality Assessment (FR-IQA) images are compared with ground truth images that are known to be of high visual quality. These metrics are utilized in order to rank algorithms under test on their image ...

Detecting and tracking people in a meeting room is very important for many applications. In order to detect people in a meeting room with no prior knowledge (e.g. background model) and regardless of whether their motion ...

Abstract In this paper, a novel solution is provided for the sticky lip problem in computer facial animation, recreating the way the lips stick together when drawn apart in speech or in the formation of facial expressions. ...

Deep neural networks have been successfully applied to problems such as image segmentation, image super-resolution, coloration and image inpainting. In this work we propose the use of convolutional neural networks (CNN) ...

In this paper we propose and analyse a method for watermarking 3D printed objects, concentrating on the watermark retrieval problem. The method embeds the watermark in a planar region of the 3D printed object in the form ...

3D models of transportation objects like a road, bridge, underpass, etc. are required in many domains including military training, land development, etc. While remote sensed images and LiDaR data can be used to create ...

Choropleth maps are an invaluable visualization type for mapping geo-spatial data. One advantage to a choropleth map over other geospatial visualizations such as cartograms is the familiarity of a non-distorted landmass. ...
