      In this paper, we propose a novel contour-based volume image segmentation technique. Our technique is based on an implicit surface reconstruction strategy, whereby a signed scalar field is generated from user-specified ...
    • By-example Synthesis of Curvilinear Structured Patterns 

      Zhou, Shizhe; Lasram, Anass; Lefebvre, Sylvain (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
      Many algorithms in Computer Graphics require to synthesize a pattern along a curve. This is for instance the case with line stylization, to decorate objects with elaborate patterns (chains, laces, scratches), or to synthesize ...
    • Capture and Statistical Modeling of Arm-Muscle Deformations 

      Neumann, Thomas; Varanasi, Kiran; Hasler, Nils; Wacker, Markus; Magnor, Marcus; Theobalt, Christian (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
      We present a comprehensive data-driven statistical model for skin and muscle deformation of the human shoulderarm complex. Skin deformations arise from complex bio-physical effects such as non-linear elasticity of muscles, ...
    • Capturing Relightable Human Performances under General Uncontrolled Illumination 

      Li, Guannan; Wu, Chenglei; Stoll, Carsten; Liu, Yebin; Varanasi, Kiran; Dai, Qionghai; Theobalt, Christian (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
      We present a novel approach to create relightable free-viewpoint human performances from multi-view video recorded under general uncontrolled and uncalibated illumination.We first capture a multi-view sequence of an actor ...
    • Circular Arc Snakes and Kinematic Surface Generation 

      Barton, Michael; Shi, Ling; Kilian, Martin; Wallner, Johannes; Pottmann, Helmut (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
      We discuss the theory, discretization, and numerics of curves which are evolving such that part of their shape, or at least their curvature as a function of arc length, remains unchanged. The discretization of a curve as ...
    • Computing and Fabricating Multiplanar Models 

      Chen, Desai; Sitthi-amorn, Pitchaya; Lan, Justin T.; Matusik, Wojciech (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
      We present a method for converting computer 3D models into physical equivalents. More specifically, we address the problem of approximating a 3D textured mesh using a small number of planar polygonal primitives that form ...
