In this paper we show how a game engine designed to generate photorealistic images can be extended to produce non-photorealistic and hybrid renditions. We introduce new hardware-based methods to accomplish pen-and-ink ...

Efficient methods to compute intrinsic distances and geodesic paths have been presented for various types of surface representations, most importantly polygon meshes. These meshes are usually assumed to be well-structured ...

Much of computer-generated animation is created by manipulating meshes with rigs. While this approach works well for animating articulated objects like animals, it has limited flexibility for animating less structured ...

We present a novel approach to optimally retarget videos for varied displays with di ering aspect ratios by preserving salient scene content discovered via eye tracking. Our algorithm performs editing with cut, pan and ...

The demand for large geometric models is increasing, especially of urban environments. This has resulted in production of massive point cloud data from images or LiDAR. Visualization and further processing generally require ...

Estimating the correspondence between the images using optical flow is the key component for image fusion, however, computing optical flow between a pair of facial images including backgrounds is challenging due to large ...

We introduce an efficient technique for recovering the vector potential in wavelet space to simulate pointwise incompressible fluids. This technique ensures that fluid velocities remain divergence-free at any point within ...

Recently, there has been considerable interest in the representation of radiance in terms of wavelet basis functions. We will present a coordinate system called Nusselt coordinates which, when combined with wavelets, ...

Interactive visualization of very large volume data has been recognized as a task requiring great effort in a variety of science and engineering fields. In particular, such data usually places considerable demands on ...

The knowledge gained from biology datasets can streamline and speed-up pharmaceutical development. However, computational models generate so much information regarding protein behavior that large-scale analysis by traditional ...
