Accelerating Sphere Tracing
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)
This paper presents two performance improvements on sphere tracing. First, a sphere tracing variant designed to take optimal step sizes near planar surfaces is proposed. We demonstrate how relaxation is used to make this ...
Light Field Synthesis from a Single Image using Improved Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Network
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)
We present a deep learning-based method to synthesize a 4D light field from a single 2D RGB image. We consider the light field synthesis problem equivalent to image super-resolution, and solve it by using the improved ...
Voxel DAGs and Multiresolution Hierarchies: From Large-Scale Scenes to Pre-computed Shadows
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)
In this tutorial, we discuss voxel DAGs and multiresolution hierarchies, which are representations that can encode large volumes of data very efficiently. Despite a significant compression ration, an advantage of these ...
On the Pedagogy of Teaching Introductory Computer Graphics without Rendering APIs
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)
Teaching modern computer graphics programming has become increasingly challenging due to the advancement in the granularity of application programming interfaces (APIs). In this paper, we put forward a discussion on the ...
State of the Art on 3D Reconstruction with RGB-D Cameras
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
The advent of affordable consumer grade RGB-D cameras has brought about a profound advancement of visual scene reconstruction methods. Both computer graphics and computer vision researchers spend significant effort to ...
A Smart Palette for Helping Novice Painters to Mix Physical Watercolor Pigments
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)
For novice painters, color mixing is a necessary skill which takes many years to learn. To get the skill easily, we design a system, a smart palette, to help them learn quickly. Our system is based on physical watercolor ...
Kinder-Gator: The UF Kinect Database of Child and Adult Motion
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)
Research has suggested that children's whole-body motions are different from those of adults. However, research on children's motions, and how these motions differ from those of adults, is limited. One possible reason for ...
Iterative Carving for Self-supporting 3D Printed Cavities
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)
Additive manufacturing technologies fabricate objects layer by layer, adding material on top of already solidified layers. A key challenge is to ensure that there is always material below, for otherwise added material ...
Halftone Pattern: A New Steganographic Approach
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)
In general, an image is worth a thousand words, but sometimes, words are the most efficient tool to communicate some information. Thereupon, in this work, we will present an approach for combining the visual appeal of ...
Raw Point Cloud Deferred Shading Through Screen Space Pyramidal Operators
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)
We present a novel real-time raw point cloud rendering algorithm based on efficient screen-space pyramidal operators. Our method is based on a pyramidal occlusion-based hidden point removal operator followed by a pyramidal ...
