Landmark-constrained 3-D Histological Imaging: A Morphology-preserving Approach
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)The inspection of histological image sequences to gain knowledge about the original three-dimensional (3-D) morphological structure is a standard method in medical research. Its main advantage is that light microscopes ... -
Markerless Motion Capture using multiple Color-Depth Sensors
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)With the advent of the Microsoft Kinect, renewed focus has been put on monocular depth-based motion capturing. However, this approach is limited in that an actor has to move facing the camera. Due to the active light nature ... -
A Mathematical Model and Calibration Procedure for Galvanometric Laser Scanning Systems
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)Laser galvanometric scanning systems are commonly used in various fields such as three dimensional scanning, medical imaging, material processing, measurement devices and laser display systems. The systems of such kind ... -
Measuring BRDFs of Immersed Materials
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)We investigate the effect of immersing real-world materials into media of different refractive indices. We show, that only some materials follow the Fresnel-governed behaviour. In reality, many materials exhibit unexpected ... -
Meshless Hierarchical Radiosity on the GPU
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)Meshless radiosity is a radiosity method that is based on a point-based hierarchical discretization of the scene. This better decouples the runtime complexity from the geometric complexity of the scene and allows for an ... -
Monocular Pose Reconstruction for an Augmented Reality Clothing System
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)In this paper, we present an approach for realizing an augmented reality system for try-on of apparel. The core component of our system is a quick human pose estimation algorithm based on a single camera view only. Due to ... -
Near-Regular Texture Synthesis by Random Sampling and Gap Filling
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)This paper addresses the synthesis of near-regular textures, i.e. textures that consist of a regular global structure plus subtle yet very characteristic stochastic irregularities. Such textures are difficult to synthesize ... -
Object-aware Gradient-Domain Image Compositing
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)We describe an approach to suppress bleeding artifacts without altering the boundary location in gradient-domain compositing, a technique to create seamless composites. While gradient-domain compositing has become a stan- ... -
Partial Symmetry Detection in Volume Data
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)In this paper, we present an algorithm for detecting partial Euclidean symmetries in volume data. Our algorithm finds subsets in voxel data that map to each other approximately under translations, rotations, and reflections. ... -
Particle-Based Anisotropic Sampling for Two-Dimensional Tensor Field Visualization
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)We present a particle-based approach to generate unstructured distributions of elliptical samples. Size and shape of the samples are determined by a local metric that is derived from a two-dimensional tensor field. In ... -
Pose Correction by Space-Time Integration
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)The deformation of a given model into different poses is an important problem in computer graphics and computer animation. In a typical workflow, a carefully designed reference surface is deformed into a couple of poses, ... -
Probabilistic Inverse Dynamics for Blood Pattern Reconstruction
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)We present a method of reconstructing the region of origin and trajectories for particles given impact directions and positions. This method works for nonlinear trajectories, such as parabolic motion or motion with drag ... -
Real-time Rendering of Stack-based Terrains
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)Usually, terrain rendering relies on a 2D regular grid of height values, the so called height field. Height fields describe 2.5D surfaces and are not able to present complex 3D terrain features. In contrast, a 3D data ... -
The Recognition of Ethnic Groups based on Histological Skin Properties
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)We present an algorithm to recognize ethnic groups based on biologically justified features, such as melanin or hemoglobin concentrations. These biophysical features are extracted from skin reflectance spectra and allow, ... -
RITK: The Range Imaging Toolkit - A Framework for 3-D Range Image Stream Processing
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)The recent introduction of low-cost devices for real-time acquisition of dense 3-D range imaging (RI) streams has attracted a great deal of attention. However, to date, there exists no open source framework that is explicitly ... -
SBL Mesh Filter: A Fast Separable Approximation of Bilateral Mesh Filtering
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)Bilateral mesh filtering is a simple and powerful feature-preserving filtering operator which allows to smooth or remove noise from surface meshes while preserving important features in a non-iterative way. However, to be ... -
Seamless Integration of Multimodal Shader Compositing into a Flexible Ray Casting Pipeline
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)In the last three years a number of multi-volume GPU ray casting systems have been presented. Some of them are very powerful and provide a wide variety of features. However, these approaches are either only capable of ... -
Simulating Deep Sea Underwater Images Using Physical Models for Light Attenuation, Scattering, and Refraction
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)When adapting computer vision algorithms to underwater imaging, two major differences in image formation occur. While still traveling through the water, light rays are scattered and absorbed depending on their wavelength, ... -
Smooth Transitions for Large Scale Changes in Multi-Resolution Images
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)Today's super zoom cameras offer a large optical zoom range of over 30x. It is easy to take a wide angle photograph of the scene together with a few zoomed in high resolution crops. Only little work has been done to ... -
Surface Flow from Visual Cues
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)In this paper we study the estimation of dense, instantaneous 3D motion fields over a non-rigidly moving surface observed by multi-camera systems. The motivation arises from multi-camera applications that require motion ...
