    • MBVH Child Node Sorting for Fast Occlusion Test 

      Ogaki, Shinji; Derouet-Jourdan, Alexandre (The Eurographics Association, 2015)
      Optimal BVH layout differs among ray types. To accelerate shadow rays, the use of a specialized traversal order, optionally with an additional data structure has been proposed. In this paper we show how sorting child nodes ...

    • MCFTLE: Monte Carlo Rendering of Finite-Time Lyapunov Exponent Fields 

      Günther, Tobias; Kuhn, Alexander; Theisel, Holger (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
      Traditionally, Lagrangian fields such as finite-time Lyapunov exponents (FTLE) are precomputed on a discrete grid and are ray casted afterwards. This, however, introduces both grid discretization errors and sampling errors ...

    • MCMR: A Fluid View on Time Dependent Volume Data 

      Leeuw, Wim de; Liere, Robert van (The Eurographics Association, 2003)
      Mass Conservative Motion Reconstruction is a new method for estimating motion in time dependent volume data. A time dependent vector field representing the movement of the data is computed from a sequence of scalar volume ...

      Data visualization is of increasing importance in the Biosciences. During the past 15 years, a great number of novel methods and tools for biological data visualization have been developed and published in various journals ...

    • Mean Curvature Skeletons 

      Tagliasacchi, Andrea; Alhashim, Ibraheem; Olson, Matt; Zhang, Hao (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
      Inspired by recent developments in contraction-based curve skeleton extraction, we formulate the skeletonization problem via mean curvature flow (MCF). While the classical application of MCF is surface fairing, we take ...

    • Mean Value Caching for Walk on Spheres 

      Bakbouk, Ghada; Peers, Pieter (The Eurographics Association, 2023)
      Walk on Spheres (WoS) is a grid-free Monte Carlo method for numerically estimating solutions for elliptical partial differential equations (PDE) such as the Laplace and Poisson PDEs. While WoS is efficient for computing a ...

    • A Means to Improve the GKS-3D/PHIGS Output Pipeline Implementation 

      Herman, Ivan; Reviczky, Janos (Eurographics Association, 1987)
      The output pipeline of GKS-3D/PHIGS isexamined to find some possible points where the implementation could be improved to raise efficiency while remaining strictly within the scope of the Standards. Some interesting results ...

    • Measurement of Immersive Technology for Historic Scenes 

      McCaffery, John; Miller, Alan; Oliver, Iaina (The Eurographics Association, 2014)
      This paper investigates the creation of historic scenes through engagement with community archaeology and historical investigation. The approach presented here enables both tangible and intangible culture to be explored ...

    • Measurement-Based Interactive Simulation of Viscoelastic Solids 

      Schoner, Jeffrey L.; Lang, Jochen; Seidel, Hans-Peter (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2004)
      Animation of viscoelastic solids in entertainment and medical applications as well as scientific simulation can be improved through observations of real world objects. This paper presents a method for simulating viscoelastic ...

    • Measurement-Based Model Estimation for Deformable Objects 

      Miguel, Eder (Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, 2014-11-25)
      Deformable objects play a critical role in our life due to their compliance. Clothing and support structures, such as mattresses, are just a few examples of their use. They are so common that an accurate prediction of their ...

    • Measurement-based modeling and fabrication of deformable materials for human faces 

      Bickel, Bernd (Bickel, 2010)
      <p>This thesis investigates the combination of data-driven and physically basedtechniques for acquiring, modeling, and animating deformable materials,with a special focus on human faces. Furthermore, based on these ...

    • Measurement-Based Synthesis of Facial Microgeometry 

      Graham, Paul; Tunwattanapong, Borom; Busch, Jay; Yu, Xueming; Jones, Andrew; Debevec, Paul; Ghosh, Abhijeet (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
      We present a technique for generating microstructure-level facial geometry by augmenting a mesostructure-level facial scan with detail synthesized from a set of exemplar skin patches scanned at much higher resolution. ...
