    • Multi-resolution modelling of terrains by using non restricted quadtree triangulation 

      Aguilera, A.; Torres, J. C.; Feito, F. (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      The interactive visualization of terrains requires the processing of a high amount of data in real time, usually it is not possible to work with all of them on main in memory. In this work we present, a method which solves ...
    • A New 3D Spring for Deformable Object Animation 

      Jeong, Il-Kwon; Lee, Inho (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      A new3D spring for deformable object animation is proposed. Currently mass-spring system is most widely used in a deformable object animation as well as cloth animation. In order to perform a realistic cloth animation using ...
    • Obscurances for ray-tracing 

      Mendez, A.; Sbert, M.; Neumann, L. (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      We present a powerful method to create realistic-looking pictures of scenes with objects that have diffuse and non-diffuse properties. The method recreates the obscurances technique, introduced some years ago, with a new ...
    • Parametric Foveation for Progressive Texture and Model Transmission 

      Cheng, Irene; Basu, Anup; Pan, Yixin (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      Spatially varying sensing (foveation) has been used in many different areas of Computer Vision, such as image compression and video teleconferencing and in perceptually driven Level of Detail (LOD) representations in ...
    • Pedagogic discrete visualization of electromagnetic waves 

      Mora, F.; Ruillet, G.; Andres, E.; Vauzelle, R. (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      A dynamic electromagnetic wave propagation visualization tool is presented in this paper. It can simulate wave reflection and diffraction in 2D. It allows to visualize the electric field magnitude. The original approach ...
    • Pen and Ink Pictures from Gray-Scale Photographs 

      Arroyo, G.; Martín, D. (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      A new method for producing pen and ink pictures from gray-scale photographs is introduced in this article. It is based on path-finding and reconstruction of strokes. First we apply filters to extract contours from photographs ...
    • Persepolis: Recovering history with a handheld camera 

      Sainz, M.; Susin, A.; Cervantes, A.; Bagherzadeh, N. (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      In this paper we present new improvements to our novel pipeline for image based modeling of objects using a camcorder. Our system takes an uncalibrated sequence of images recorded around a scene, it automatically recovers ...
    • Point in Solid Tests for Triangle Meshes. Comparative Study 

      Ogayar, Carlos J.; Segura, Rafael J.; Feito, Francisco R. (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      This document presents a comparative study of several point inclusion tests for triangle meshes. We also discuss some issues about the usefulness of each method depending on the situation, taking into account memory and ...
