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 ...

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 ...

Parameterized, high-fidelity 3D surface models can not only be used for rendering animations in the context of Computer Graphics (CG), but have become increasingly popular for analyzing data, and thus making these accessible ...

Virtual cameras and virtual production techniques are an indispensable tool in blockbuster filmmaking but due to their integration into commercial motion-capture solutions, they are currently out-of-reach to low-budget and ...

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 ...

The process of reconstructing virtual representations of large real-world sites is traditionally carried out through the use of laser scanning technology. Recent advances in these technologies led to improvements in precision ...

This paper describes the timeline of use cases of large and remote display VEs (Virtual Environments), hosted by STFC (Science and Technology Facilities Council), which were linked to HPC (High Performance Computing) ...

This short extended abstract investigates human-computer interactions in relation to a specific Six Degree of Freedom (6DoF) input device; described is the driver development and calibration required for a novel piece of ...

Crowd simulations are used in various fields such as entertainment, training systems and city planning. However, controlling the behaviour of the pedestrians typically involves tuning of the system parameters through trial ...

Pedestrian simulations have many uses, from pedestrian planning for architecture design through to games and entertainment. However, it is still challenging to efficiently author such simulations, especially for non-technical ...
