We present a modeling approach to automatically fit 3D primitives to point clouds in order to generate a CAD like model. For detailed modeling we propose a new n-gonal 3D primitive and a novel RANSAC based fitting approach. ...

Real world illumination, captured by digitizing devices, is beneficial to solve many problems in computer graphics. Therefore, practical methods for capturing this illumination are of high interest. In this paper, we present ...

Tiny Planets visualise the world looking down at the ground, with physically unrealisable projections that curve the ground plane to look like small worlds. Whilst certain geometries, such as Stereographic, are known to ...

This work presents a survey of the current state of the art of visualization techniques for parallel coordinates. It covers geometric models for constructing parallel coordinates and reviews methods for creating and ...

Many visualization techniques use images containing meaningful color sequences. If such images are converted to grayscale, the sequence is often distorted, compromising the information in the image.We preserve the significance ...

The goal of example-based texture synthesis methods is to generate arbitrarily large textures from limited exemplars in order to fit the exact dimensions and resolution required for a specific modeling task. The challenge ...

We present a method for the robust detection and removal of cracks and holes from binary voxel shapes based on the shapes' surface and curve skeletons. For this, we first classify gaps or indentations in the input shape ...

Synthesizing facial wrinkles has been tackled either by a long process of manual sculpting on 3D models, or using automatic methods that do not allow for user interaction or artistic expression. In this paper, we propose ...

We present two relevant clinical use cases for thoracic computed tomography data, where the recently introduced concept of size-based rendering can be beneficially applied to medical visualization in the context of screening ...

In this paper, we present a novel parallel implementation of a high fidelity inverse tone mapping operator. Our method makes use of point based graphics to accelerate density estimation, and multi-core CPUs for extracting ...
