This paper proposes a simple generation method for realistic leather texture. Leather surface consists of five structural elements, which are cristae, sulci, wrinkles, pockets and pores, which characterize the visual ...

We present a novel technique for interactive, intuitive, and efficient modeling of virtual plants and plant ecosystems. Our approach is biologically-based, but shades the user from overwhelming input parameters by simplifying ...

Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is a powerful technique for the animation of natural phenomena. While early SPH approaches in Computer Graphics have mainly been concerned with liquids or gases, recent research also ...

Throughout the last few years, acquisition and processing of dynamic geometry has already received quite an amount of attention in the computer vision and graphics research community. Recently, the topic has gained a ...

The early browsers for the Web were predominantly aimed at retrieval of textual information. Tim Berners-Lee's original browser for the NeXT computer did allow images to be viewed but they popped up in a separate window ...

Project-based Computer Science (CS) education was introduced at Delft University of Technology more than 10 years ago, and its instructive and motivating potential has steadily increased. Among the projects offered, the ...

We present concepts for pre-operative planning of brain tumor resections. The proposed system uses a combination of traditional and novel visualization techniques rendered in real-time on modern GPUs in order to support ...

As its name implies, digital production arts incorporates both technical and artistic aspects. The challenge of any program in this discipline is to balance these two components in such a way that each enhances the other ...

Anatomical models of pregnant women can be used in several applications such as numerical dosimetry to assess the potential effects of electromagnetic fields on biological tissues, or medical simulations for delivery ...

Misconceptions about the nature of the computing discipline(s) pose a serious problem to faculties that offer computing degrees, as students enrolling on their programmes come to realise that their expectations are not met ...
