High Dynamic Range Imaging and Low Dynamic Range Expansion for Generating HDR Content
(The Eurographics Association, 2009)
In the last few years, researchers in the field of High Dynamic Range (HDR) Imaging have focused on providing tools for expanding Low Dynamic Range (LDR) content for the generation of HDR images due to the growing popularity ...
On the Provision of a Comprehensive Computer Graphics Education in the Context of Computer Games: An Activity-Led Instruction Approach
(The Eurographics Association, 2009)
Over the past decade the development of computer games which originated in academia with the creation of Spacewar at MIT in 1961 has evolved into an accepted academic discipline, closely related to the field of computer ...
A web-enabled Geovisual Analytics tool applied to OECD Regional Data
(The Eurographics Association, 2009)
Recent advances in web-enabled graphics technologies have the potential to make a dramatic impact on developing highly interactive Geovisual Analytics applications for the Internet. An emerging and challenging application ...
Shape Decomposition using Modal Analysis
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)
We introduce a novel algorithm that decomposes a deformable shape into meaningful parts requiring only a single input pose. Using modal analysis, we are able to identify parts of the shape that tend to move rigidly. We ...
Complex Barycentric Coordinates with Applications to Planar Shape Deformation
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)
Physically Guided Animation of Trees
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)
This paper presents a new method to animate the interaction of a tree with wind both realistically and in real time. The main idea is to combine statistical observations with physical properties in two major parts of tree ...
Modeling the Appearance and Behavior of Urban Spaces
(The Eurographics Association, 2009)
Urban spaces consist of a complex collection of buildings, parcels, blocks and neighborhoods interconnected by streets. Accurately modeling both the appearance and the behavior of dense urban spaces is a significant ...
Out-of-core Data Management for Path Tracing on Hybrid Resources
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)
We present a software system that enables path-traced rendering of complex scenes. The system consists of two primary components: an application layer that implements the basic rendering algorithm, and an out-of-core ...
Bidirectional Importance Sampling for Unstructured Direct Illumination
(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, ...
Wind projection basis for real-time animation of trees
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)
This paper presents a real-time method to animate complex scenes of thousands of trees under a user-controllable wind load. Firstly, modal analysis is applied to extract the main modes of deformation from the mechanical ...
