Eurographics 2002 - Presentation of European Groups doing Computer Graphics Research
(Eurographics Association, 2002)This brochure contains a concentrated description of many European Computer Graphics research labs. It was produced to accompany a track of lab presentations at the annual conference Eurographics’2002 in Saarbrücken in ... -
Extraction of Critical Points and Nets Based on Discrete Gradient Vector Field
(Eurographics Association, 2002)In this paper we address the problem of representing the topology of discrete scalar fields defined on triangulated domains. To this aim, we use the notion of discrete gradient vector field that we have introduced in [4] ... -
Facial Modeling and Animation

Fast Volume Carving
(Eurographics Association, 2002)In recent years, the volumetric scene representation has been widely used in the fields of computer graphics and computer vision. In computer graphics, the representation is used to visualize and reconstruct 3D internal ... -
Feature Extraction and Visualisation of Flow Fields
(Eurographics Association, 2002)Flow visualisation has already been a very attractive part of visualisation research for a long time. Usually very large data sets need to be processed, which often consist of multivariate data with a large number of sample ... -
Feature interference in free form template matching
(Eurographics Association, 2002)Template matching is a useful method in the reconstruction of free form surfaces. In this paper, matching of free form surfaces with parameterized templates is studied with the emphasis on feature interference. By their ... -
Flexible bump map capture from video
(Eurographics Association, 2002)We extend recent techniques for the automated capture of surface normal maps or bump maps from real-world material samples. In contrast to recent systems, which have required cumbersome laboratory setups with careful ... -
Frame-Coherent Stippling
(Eurographics Association, 2002)Stippling is an artistic rendering technique where shading and texture is given by placing points or stipples on the canvas until the desired darkness is achieved. Computer-generated stippling has focused on producing high ... -
From Textual Chats to Interest Groups in 3D Virtual Space
(Eurographics Association, 2002)While the textual chat is a highly popular tool for various kinds of social interactions, its extension to the visual three-dimensional domain remains almost untouched and without practical utilization yet. This paper ... -
Function-defined shape node for VRML
(Eurographics Association, 2002)This paper describes how the web-based visualisation can be greatly improved using the function-based shape modelling technique. We propose the function-defined VRML shape node, which allows the content creators to describe ... -
Geometric Data Structures for Computer Graphics
(Eurographics Association, 2002)This tutorial aims at presenting a wide range of geometric data structures, algorithms and techniques from computational geometry to computer graphics practitioners. To achieve this goal we introduce several data structures, ... -
Geometric Simplification of Foliage
(Eurographics Association, 2002)One of the most important challenges in real-time rendering of outdoor scenes is the representation of vegetation. This is due to the vast amount of polygons that are used to model vegetable species. The present automatic ... -
Global Illumination for Interactive Applications and High-Quality Animations
(Eurographics Association, 2002)One of the main obstacles to the use of global illumination in image synthesis industry is the considerable amount of time needed to compute the lighting for a single image. Until now, this computational cost has prevented ... -
Hardware-Assisted Relief Texture Mapping
(Eurographics Association, 2002)Image-Based Rendering by Warping (IBRW) creates three-dimensional scene by deforming several 2D images with depth information. Image-based rendering has an advantage compared to traditional polygon rendering that the ... -
Image Editing with Intelligent Paint
(Eurographics Association, 2002)Intelligent Paint provides a new tool for interactively selecting image objects or regions of interest, while simultaneously applying filters or effects directly to the selection(s). By coupling adaptive cost-ordered region ... -
An Image-Based Radiosity Representation
(Eurographics Association, 2002)We present a geometry-independent radiosity representation which stems from image-based methodologies. Our image-based representation is inspired by the concept of layered depth images. To construct the radiosity function ... -
Improved Bump Mapping by using Quadratic Vector Interpolation
(Eurographics Association, 2002)Bump mapping is a technique that perturbs normals used in the illumination computation in order to make the surface appear rough or wrinkled. Standard graphics hardware linearly interpolates rotated vectors in the direction ... -
Improved Integration for Cloth Simulation
(Eurographics Association, 2002)Most methods of cloth simulation produce animations that do not move very freely; the result often looks like the material is “swimming”. The primary sources of this phenomenon are the non-physical dissipation terms often ... -
Information-Theoretic Oracle Based on Kernel Smoothness for Hierarchical Radiosity
(Eurographics Association, 2002)One of the main problems in the radiosity method is how to discretise the surfaces of a scene into mesh elements that allow us to accurately represent illumination. In this paper we present a robust information-theoretic ... -
Interactive High-Quality Volume Rendering with Flexible Consumer Graphics Hardware
(Eurographics Association, 2002)Recently, the classic rendering pipeline in 3D graphics hardware has become flexible by means of programmable geometry engines and rasterization units. This development is primarily driven by the mass market of computer ...
