General and Robust Error Estimation and Reconstruction for Monte Carlo Rendering
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
Adaptive filtering techniques have proven successful in handling non-uniform noise in Monte-Carlo rendering approaches. A recent trend is to choose an optimal filter per pixel from a selection of non spatially-varying ...
Scalable Partitioning for Parallel Position Based Dynamics
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
We introduce a practical partitioning technique designed for parallelizing Position Based Dynamics, and exploiting the ubiquitous multi-core processors present in current commodity GPUs. The input is a set of particles ...
Eye-tracktive: Measuring Attention to Body Parts when Judging Human Motions
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)
Virtual humans are often endowed with human-like characteristics to make them more appealing and engaging. Motion capture is a reliable way to represent natural motion on such characters, thereby allowing a wide range of ...
Biologically-Inspired Visual Simulation of Insect Swarms
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
Representing the majority of living animals, insects are the most ubiquitous biological organisms on Earth. Being able to simulate insect swarms could enhance visual realism of various graphical applications. However, the ...
Adaptive LightSlice for Virtual Ray Lights
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)
We speed up the rendering of participating media with Virtual Ray Lights (VRLs) by clustering them in a preprocessing step. A subset of representative VRLs is then sampled from the clustering, which is used for the final ...
Composition-Aware Scene Optimization for Product Images
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
Increasingly, companies are creating product advertisements and catalog images using computer renderings of 3D scenes. A common goal for these companies is to create aesthetically appealing compositions that highlight ...
A Virtual and Augmented Reality Course Based on Inexpensive Interaction Devices and Displays
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)
In the last years a plethora of affordable displays, sensors, and interaction devices has reached the market, fostering the application of Virtual and Augmented Reality to many new situations. Yet, creating such applications ...
Content-Independent Multi-Spectral Display Using Superimposed Projections
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
Many works focus on multi-spectral capture and analysis, but multi-spectral display still remains a challenge. Most prior works on multi-primary displays use ad-hoc narrow band primaries that assure a larger color gamut, ...
Hallucinating Stereoscopy from a Single Image
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
We introduce a novel method for enabling stereoscopic viewing of a scene from a single pre-segmented image. Rather than attempting full 3D reconstruction or accurate depth map recovery, we hallucinate a rough approximation ...
An Interactive Editing System for Visual Appearances of Fire and Explosions
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)
Synthetic volumetric fire and explosions are important visual effects used in many applications such as computer games and movies. For these applications, artists are often requested to achieve the desired visual appearance ...
