Freehand HDR Imaging of Moving Scenes with Simultaneous Resolution Enhancement
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)Despite their high popularity, common high dynamic range (HDR) methods are still limited in their practical applicability: They assume that the input images are perfectly aligned, which is often violated in practise. Our ... -
Fruit Senescence and Decay Simulation
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)Aging and imperfections provide important visual cues for realism. We present a novel physically-based approach for simulating the biological aging and decay process in fruits. This method simulates interactions between ... -
Generalized Helicoids for Modeling Hair Geometry
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)In computer graphics, modeling the geometry of hair and hair-like patterns such as grass and fur remains a significant challenge. Hair strands can exist in an extensive variety of arrangements and the choice of an appropriate ... -
GeoBrush: Interactive Mesh Geometry Cloning
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)We propose a method for interactive cloning of 3D surface geometry using a paintbrush interface, similar to the continuous cloning brush popular in image editing. Existing interactive mesh composition tools focus on atomic ... -
Global Structure Optimization of Quadrilateral Meshes
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)We introduce a fully automatic algorithm which optimizes the high-level structure of a given quadrilateral mesh to achieve a coarser quadrangular base complex. Such a topological optimization is highly desirable, since ... -
Goal-based Caustics
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)We propose a novel system for designing and manufacturing surfaces that produce desired caustic images when illuminated by a light source. Our system is based on a nonnegative image decomposition using a set of possibly ... -
Guided ProceduralModeling
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)Procedural methods present one of the most powerful techniques for authoring a vast variety of computer graphics models. However, their massive applicability is hindered by the lack of control and a low predictability of ... -
Hatching for Motion Picture Production
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)This paper presents a hatching algorithm which - while also allows for an implementation in real-time - is integrated into the production pipeline of computer generated motion picture. Motion picture production pipelines ... -
Image and Video Abstraction by Coherence-Enhancing Filtering
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)In this work, we present a non-photorealistic rendering technique to create stylized abstractions from color images and videos. Our approach is based on adaptive line integral convolution in combination with directional ... -
Image Retargeting Quality Assessment
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)Content-aware image retargeting is a technique that can flexibly display images with different aspect ratios and simultaneously preserve salient regions in images. Recently many image retargeting techniques have been ... -
Implicit Brushes for Stylized Line-based Rendering
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)We introduce a new technique called Implicit Brushes to render animated 3D scenes with stylized lines in realtime with temporal coherence. An Implicit Brush is defined at a given pixel by the convolution of a brush footprint ... -
Interactive Modeling of City Layouts using Layers of Procedural Content
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)In this paper, we present new solutions for the interactive modeling of city layouts that combine the power of procedural modeling with the flexibility of manual modeling. Procedural modeling enables us to quickly generate ... -
Intrinsic Shape Matching by Planned Landmark Sampling
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)Recently, the problem of intrinsic shape matching has received a lot of attention. A number of algorithms have been proposed, among which random-sampling-based techniques have been particularly successful due to their ... -
Langevin Particle: A Self-Adaptive Lagrangian Primitive for Flow Simulation Enhancement
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)We develop a new Lagrangian primitive, named Langevin particle, to incorporate turbulent flow details in fluid simulation. A group of the particles are distributed inside the simulation domain based on a turbulence energy ... -
Learning Line Features in 3D Geometry
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)Feature detection in geometric datasets is a fundamental tool for solving shape matching problems such as partial symmetry detection. Traditional techniques usually employ a priori models such as crease lines that are ... -
The Natural 3D Spiral
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)Logarithmic spirals are ubiquitous in nature. This paper presents a novel mathematical definition of a 3D logarithmic spiral, which provides a proper description of objects found in nature. To motivate our work, we scanned ... -
Paint Mesh Cutting
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)We present a novel progressive painting-based mesh cut out tool, called Paint Mesh Cutting, for interactive mesh segmentation. Different from the previous user interfaces, the user only needs to draw a single stroke on the ... -
Predicted Virtual Soft Shadow Maps with High Quality Filtering
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)In this paper we present a novel image based algorithm to render visually plausible anti-aliased soft shadows in a robust and efficient manner. To achieve both high visual quality and high performance, it employs an accurate ... -

Prior Knowledge for Part Correspondence
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)Classical approaches to shape correspondence base their computation purely on the properties, in particular geometric similarity, of the shapes in question. Their performance still falls far short of that of humans in ...
