An Efficient Trim Structure for Rendering Large B-Rep Models
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)We present a multiresolution trim structure for fast and accurate B-Rep model visualization. To get a good tradeoff between performance and visual accuracy, we propose to use a vectorial but approximated representation of ... -
Fast Accurate Soft Shadows with Adaptive Light Source Sampling
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Physically accurate soft shadows in 3D applications can be simulated by taking multiple samples from all over the area light source and accumulating them. Due to the unpredictability of the size of the penumbra regions, ... -
Fast and Robust Landmark Tracking in X-ray Locomotion Sequences Containing Severe Occlusions
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Recent advances in the understanding of animal locomotion have proven it to be a key element of many fields in biology, motion science, and robotics. For the analysis of walking animals, high-speed x-ray videography is ... -
Generating Smooth High-Quality Isosurfaces for Interactive Modeling and Visualization of Complex Terrains
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)In modeling and rendering of complex procedural terrains the extraction of isosurfaces is an important part. In this paper we introduce an approach to generate high-quality isosurfaces from regular grids at interactive ... -
GPU-accelerated Interactive Material Aging
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)A photorealistic appearance of a 3D scene is required in many applications today. Thereby, one vital aspect is the usage of realistic materials, for which a broad variety of reflectance models is available. When directly ... -
The Great Wall of Space-Time
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Understanding how data evolves in space and time is an essential task in many application domains. Despite the numerous visual methods that have been proposed to facilitate this task (e.g., showing the data on a map or ... -
Hybrid Sample-based Surface Rendering
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)The performance of rasterization-based rendering on current GPUs strongly depends on the abilities to avoid overdraw and to prevent rendering triangles smaller than the pixel size. Otherwise, the rates at which highresolution ... -
Illumination-Driven Opacity Modulation for Expressive Volume Rendering
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Using classical volume visualization, typically a couple of isosurface layers are rendered semi-transparently to show the internal structures contained in the data. However, the opacity transfer function is often difficult ... -
Implicit Integral Surfaces
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)We present an implicit method for globally computing all four classic types of integral surfaces - stream, path, streak, and time surfaces - in 3D time-dependent vector fields. Our novel formulation is based on the ... -
Interactive Geometry-Aware Segmentation for the Decomposition of Kaleidoscopic Images
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Mirror systems have recently emerged as an alternative low-cost multi-view imaging solution. The use of these systems critically depends on the ability to compute the background of a multiply mirrored object. The images ... -
Juggling Increases Interhemispheric Brain Connectivity: A Visual and Quantitative dMRI Study
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)We use visualization to help analyze a diffusion magnetic resonance imaging study that has investigated the effects of learning how to juggle on nerve fiber microstructure in the human brain. Building on a standard voxel-wise ... -
Kinematic ICP for Articulated Template Fitting
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)In this paper, we present an efficient optimization method to adapt an articulated 3D template model to a full or partial 3D mesh. The well-known ICP algorithm is enhanced to fit a generic template to a target mesh. Each ... -
Markov Chain Driven Multi-Dimensional Visual Pattern Analysis with Parallel Coordinates
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Parallel coordinates is a widely used visualization technique for presenting, analyzing and exploring multidimensional data. However, like many other visualizations, it can suffer from an overplotting problem when rendering ... -
A Mixed Shape Space for Fast Interpolation of Articulated Shapes
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Interpolation between compatible triangle meshes that represent different poses of some object is a fundamental operation in geometry processing. A common approach is to consider the static input shapes as points in a ... -
Optimized Canonical Coordinate Frames for 3D Object Normalization
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)In this paper, we describe a method to optimize an orthogonal system of axes for 3D objects in order to perform normalization with respect to orientation and scale. An energy function evaluates the quality of a system by ... -
Registration of Temporal Ultrasonic Image Sequences Using Markov Random Fields
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Ultrasound perfusion imaging is a rapid and inexpensive technique which enables observation of a dynamic process with high temporal resolution. The image acquisition is disturbed by various motion influences due to the ... -
Resolving Twisted Surfaces within an Iterative Refinement Surface Reconstruction Approach
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)We present a method which resolves twisted surface regions within a surface reconstruction approach that uses local refinement operations to iteratively fit a surface into an unorganized point cloud. We show that this local ... -
