    • BallMerge: High-quality Fast Surface Reconstruction via Voronoi Balls 

      Parakkat, Amal Dev; Ohrhallinger, Stefan; Eisemann, Elmar; Memari, Pooran (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2024)
      We introduce a Delaunay-based algorithm for reconstructing the underlying surface of a given set of unstructured points in 3D. The implementation is very simple, and it is designed to work in a parameter-free manner. The ...

    • Baroque Dance Animation with Virtual Dancers 

      Bertolo, Maresa; Maninetti, Paolo; Marini, Daniele (Eurographics Association, 1999)
      Our approach to computer simulation of the human movement is based on a high level description of the grammar of the movement and on the combination of basic movements acquired using motion capture systems. The combinatory ...

    • Bayesian and Quasi Monte Carlo Spherical Integration for Illumination Integrals 

      Marques, Ricardo; Bouville, Christian; Bouatouch, Kadi (The Eurographics Association, 2014)
      The spherical sampling of the incident radiance function entails a high computational cost. Therefore the illumination integral must be evaluated using a limited set of samples. Such a restriction raises the question of ...

    • The Beam Radiance Estimate for Volumetric Photon Mapping 

      Jarosz, Wojciech; Zwicker, Matthias; Jensen, Henrik Wann (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
      We present a new method for efficiently simulating the scattering of light within participating media. Using a theoretical reformulation of volumetric photon mapping, we develop a novel photon gathering technique for ...

    • Behavior Authoring for VRML Applications in Industry 

      Dörner, R.; Elcacho, C.; Luckas, V. (Eurographics Association, 1998)
      As VRML offers behavior definition on different levels (animation behavior, interaction behavior, hypermedia behavior, application behavior) an authoring tool for VRML content creation has to comprise a dedicated behavior ...

    • Behavioral Landmarks: Inferring Interactions from Data 

      Lemonari, Marilena; Charalambous, Panayiotis; Panayiotou, Andreas; Chrysanthou, Yiorgos; Pettré, Julien (The Eurographics Association, 2024)
      We aim to unravel complex agent-environment interactions from trajectories, by explaining agent paths as combinations of predefined basic behaviors. We detect trajectory points signifying environment-driven behavior changes, ...

    • Believable Virtual Characters in Human-Computer Dialogs 

      Jung, Yvonne; Kuijper, Arjan; Fellner, Dieter W.; Kipp, Michael; Miksatko, Jan; Gratch, Jonathan; Thalmann, Daniel (The Eurographics Association, 2011)
      For many application areas, where a task is most naturally represented by talking or where standard input devices are difficult to use or not available at all, virtual characters can be well suited as an intuitive ...

    • Better Pasting Via Quasi-Interpolation 

      Mann, Stephen; Conrad, Blair (Eurographics Association, 1999)
      In this poster, we show our latest work on surface pasting, a hierarchical modeling technique. In surface pasting, we attach a feature surface to a base surface using an approximation technique. While we can use knot ...

    • BetweenIT: An Interactive Tool for Tight Inbetweening 

      Whited, Brian; Noris, Gioacchino; Simmons, Maryann; Sumner, Robert W.; Gross, Markus; Rossignac, Jarek (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      The generation of inbetween frames that interpolate a given set of key frames is a major component in the production of a 2D feature animation. Our objective is to considerably reduce the cost of the inbetweening phase by ...

    • Beyond Image Quality Comparison 

      Bornik, Alexander; Cech, Peter; Ferko, Andrej; Perko, Roland (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      We solve the problem of quantitative measuring of image quality, beyond the widely used MSE (mean square error) or even visual comparison. We combine eight feature-based and perceptually-oriented image quality metrics. The ...

    • Beyond WYSIWYG: Display of Hidden Information in Graphics Editors 

      Schleich, R.; Durst, M.J. (Blackwell Science Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1994)
      Graphics editors such as computer aided design systems are complex and difficult to use. We attribute this to the fact that only a small part of the information is visible and therefore accessible and understandable. Only ...

    • Bezier Patches with Local Shape Control Parameters 

      Schmitt, Francis J. M.; Du, Wen-Hui (Eurographics Association, 1987)
      In this paper, we introduce three types of shape control parmeters (tension, bias, and continuity) into the modelling of free-form surfaces composed of bicubic Bernstein-Bezier patches. This is an extension to surfaces of ...

    • (Bi)spectral Rendering in Practice 

      Wilkie, Alexander; Weidlich, Andrea (The Eurographics Association, 2011)
      Abstract to follow.

    • BICEPS - THE INTERACTIVE GRAPHICS AIDED SYSTEM FOR BI-DIMENSIONAL GEOMETRY YODELING, NESTING AND FLAME CUTTING TECHNOLOGY 

      Kobvlinski, Wiktor J. (The Eurographics Association, 1985)
      An essential condition for effective usage of numerically controlled devices is their correct and efficient programming. Especially in cutting applications every nesting layout requires a new control program tape. The ...

    • Bidirectional Importance Sampling for Unstructured Direct Illumination 

      Wang, Rui; Akerlund, Oskar (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)
      Recent research in bidirectional importance sampling has focused primarily on structured illumination sources such as distant environment maps, while unstructured illumination has received little attention. In this paper, ...

    • Bidirectional Search for Interactive Motion Synthesis 

      Lo, Wan-Yen; Zwicker, Matthias (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      We present an approach to improve the search efficiency for near-optimal motion synthesis using motion graphs. An optimal or near-optimal path through a motion graph often leads to the most intuitive result. However, finding ...

    • A BIFOCAL DISPLAY TECHNIQUE FOR DATA PRESENTATION 

      Apperley, M. D.; Tzavaras, I.; Spence, R. (The Eurographics Association, 1982)
      A technique for presenting data on a graphics display, while avoiding the inherent windowing problem of conventional v.d.u's is proposed. This technique is centered on the concept of spatial information management. Design ...
