A Message-Based Annotation System for Collaborative Design Review
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)The paper illustrates a shared annotation mechanism developed within a collaborative virtual environment for design review. This represents one of the first prototypes being developed within the European Project IMPROVE ... -
3D CT Segmentation for Clinical Evaluation of Knee Prosthesis Operations
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)In surgical knee replacement, the damaged knee joint is replaced with artificial prostheses. An accurate clinical evaluation must be carried out before applying knee prostheses to ensure optimal outcome from surgical ... -
Using Layout Profiles in MPE G-4 Hypervideo Presentation
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)The definition of presentation layout, based on device and user features, can be useful to provide multidevices content adaptation capabilities for hypervideos presentations. We provide a possible approach of content ... -
Smart Ideas for Photomosaic Rendering
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)Photomosaic is a technique which transforms an input image into a rectangular grid of thumbnail images preserving the overall appearance. The typical photomosaic algorithm searches from a large database of images one picture ... -
Adaptive Frame Rate Up-conversion with Motion Extraction from 3D Space for 3D Graphic Pipelines
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)A novel 3D Graphic Pipeline for mobile handheld devices is introduced. It s able to achieve increased frame-rate at its output, high picture quality, improved temporal anti-aliasing, thanks to frame-rate upconversion ... -
Unambiguous Analysis of Woman Breast Shape for Plastic Surgery Outcome Evaluation
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)This paper reports a multidisciplinary research between computer science and plastic and reconstructive surgery. In particular, a new method is proposed to unambiguously define a geometric partitioning of a large thoracic ... -
Color Palette Images Re-indexing by Self Organizing Motor Maps
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)Palette re-ordering is a well known and very effective approach for improving the compression of color-indexed images. If the spatial distribution of the indexes in the image is smooth, greater compression ratios may be ... -
Implementing Mesh-Based Approaches for Deformable Objects on GPU
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)These latest years witnessed an impressive improvement of graphics hardware both in terms of features and in terms of computational power. This improvement can be easily observed in computer games, where effects which, ... -
An Architecture for Distributed Behavioral Models with GPUs
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)We describe an architecture for massive simulation of a distributed behavioral model using graphics hardware. By leveraging on the recent programmable capabilities of GPUs we implemented the model capable of managing a ... -
Compressed SVG Representation of Raster Images Vectorized by DDT Triangulation
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)This paper presents a portable compression algorithm applied to raster data images properly triangulated by using DDT (Data Dependent Triangulation). In particular the input source data are encoded to be rendered by standard ... -
GPU based direct illuminance values computation for interactive lighting CAD
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)In this work we focus our attention on real-time direct illuminance values computation using dedicated 3D graphics hardware compatible with OpenGL 2 standard. Our method works with real light intensity distribution measured ... -
Preparation of Finite Element Models: The Use of an a Posteriori Mechanical Criterion
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)A geometrical model needs to be simplified to perform a FE (Finite Element) analysis. Several tasks of shape processing are required during the FE model preparation phase. An appropriate geometric model and a suitable set ... -
From Skull to Face: an Improved Framework for Ethnically Faithful 3D Face Reconstruction
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)3D imagery can be a useful tool for archaeologists and anthropologists committed to the study of ancient people, helping them to better visualize the results of their theories and findings. This paper presents a methodology ... -
Maya Sun Simulation of Bosnian Gravestone Virtual Model
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)Bosnia and Herzegovina is very rich with cultural heritage sites. Perhaps the most famous of these are the stecaks; the monumental gravestones of Bosnian Heretic Christians. The orientation of the stecaks was important to ... -
Recovering 3D architectural information from dense digital models of buildings
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)In recent years the progress of 3D scanning technologies and the consequent growing commercialization of scanners opened a large spectrum of opportunities for many professionals. In particular, architects and engineers may ... -
3D Input devices integration in CAD environment
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)Virtual Reality (VR) technologies are becoming commonly used tools in the product development process, starting from the styling review in the conceptual design phase, until to the Digital Mock-up (DMU) validation in the ... -
Real-time Cataract Surgery Simulation for Training
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)Cataract is a clouding of the eye's natural lens, normally due to natural aging changes, and involving at least half of the population over 65 years. Cataract extraction is the only solution for restoring a clear vision, ... -
Tradition and Virtuality: The Caltagirone Staircase
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)Computer Graphics (CG) and Virtual Reality (VR) are two of the most interesting research fields in Computer Science. In this paper we present an application of CG and VR in arts, tourist promotion and cultural heritage. ... -
DentroTrento: an Example of Application of Computer Graphics to the Evolution of the Archaeological Site of Tridentum
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)This paper illustrates the DentroTrento project, commissioned by the local authority for Cultural Heritage, which has lead to the creation of an edutainment system for the visitors of an archaeological site in the town of ... -
Hand Made 3d Modelling for the Reconstructive Study of Temple C in Selinunte : Preliminary Results
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)This paper illustrates the preliminary results of the virtual reconstruction of temple C in Selinunte. The reconstruction was undertaken as part of the Land-Lab Project launched by the University of Lecce in 2003 for the ...
