      The concept of using functional maps for representing dense correspondences between deformable shapes has proven to be extremely effective in many applications. However, despite the impact of this framework, the problem ...
    • Restricting Voronoi Diagrams to Meshes Using Corner Validation 

      Sainlot, Maxime; Nivoliers, Vincent; Attali, Dominique (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)
      Restricted Voronoi diagrams are a fundamental geometric structure used in many applications such as surface reconstruction from point sets or optimal transport. Given a set of sites V and a mesh X with vertices in Rd ...
    • Reverse-Engineering Visualizations: Recovering Visual Encodings from Chart Images 

      Poco, Jorge; Heer, Jeffrey (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)
      We investigate how to automatically recover visual encodings from a chart image, primarily using inferred text elements. We contribute an end-to-end pipeline which takes a bitmap image as input and returns a visual encoding ...
