    • Fast Marching farthest point sampling 

      Moenning, Carsten; Dodgson, Neil A. (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      We introduce the Fast Marching farthest point sampling (FastFPS) approach for the progressive sampling of planar domains and curved manifolds in triangulated, point cloud or implicit form. By using Fast Marching methods2, ...
    • GreenArt: A Tool for Non-Photorealistic Rendering of Plants and Trees 

      Campos, C.; Quirós, R.; Huerta, J.; Camahort, E.; Lluch, J.; Vivo, R. (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      Plant and tree rendering is critical to many computer graphics applications, like interactive walkthroughs, architectural presentations, entertaintment and computer games. Current research focuses on realistic modeling and ...
    • Image-based Extraction of Material Reflectance Properties of a 3D Rigid Object 

      Erdem, M. Erkut; Erdem, I. Aykut; Atalay, Volkan (Eurographics Association, 2003)
