      Huang, Ruqi; Ovsjanikov, Maks (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)
      In this paper, we propose to consider the adjoint operators of functional maps, and demonstrate their utility in several tasks in geometry processing. Unlike a functional map, which represents a correspondence simply using ...
    • Albero: A Visual Analytics Approach for Probabilistic Weather Forecasting 

      Diehl, Alexandra; Pelorosso, Leandro; Delrieux, Claudio; Matkovic, Kresimir; Ruiz, Juan; Gröller, M. Eduard; Bruckner, Stefan (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
      Probabilistic weather forecasts are amongst the most popular ways to quantify numerical forecast uncertainties. The analog regression method can quantify uncertainties and express them as probabilities. The method comprises ...
    • Analysis and Controlled Synthesis of Inhomogeneous Textures 

      Zhou, Yang; Shi, Huajie; Lischinski, Dani; Gong, Minglun; Kopf, Johannes; Huang, Hui (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)
      Many interesting real-world textures are inhomogeneous and/or anisotropic. An inhomogeneous texture is one where various visual properties exhibit significant changes across the texture's spatial domain. Examples include ...
    • An Appearance Model for Textile Fibers 

      Aliaga, Carlos; Castillo, Carlos; Gutierrez, Diego; Otaduy, Miguel A.; López-Moreno, Jorge; Jarabo, Adrián (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)
      Accurately modeling how light interacts with cloth is challenging, due to the volumetric nature of cloth appearance and its multiscale structure, where microstructures play a major role in the overall appearance at higher ...
    • Approximating Planar Conformal Maps Using Regular Polygonal Meshes 

      Chen, Renjie; Gotsman, Craig (© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)
      Continuous conformal maps are typically approximated numerically using a triangle mesh which discretizes the plane. Computing a conformal map subject to user‐provided constraints then reduces to a sparse linear system, ...
    • Area-Preserving Parameterizations for Spherical Ellipses 

      Guillén, Ibón; Ureña, Carlos; King, Alan; Fajardo, Marcos; Georgiev, Iliyan; López-Moreno, Jorge; Jarabo, Adrián (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)
      We present new methods for uniformly sampling the solid angle subtended by a disk. To achieve this, we devise two novel area-preserving mappings from the unit square [0;1]2 to a spherical ellipse (i.e. the projection of ...
    • Articulated‐Motion‐Aware Sparse Localized Decomposition 

      Wang, Yupan; Li, Guiqing; Zeng, Zhichao; He, Huayun (© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)
      Compactly representing time‐varying geometries is an important issue in dynamic geometry processing. This paper proposes a framework of sparse localized decomposition for given animated meshes by analyzing the variation ...
    • Attribute-preserving Gamut Mapping of Measured BRDFs 

      Sun, Tiancheng; Serrano, Ana; Gutierrez, Diego; Masia, Belen (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)
      Reproducing the appearance of real-world materials using current printing technology is problematic. The reduced number of inks available define the printer's limited gamut, creating distortions in the printed appearance ...
    • Bayesian Collaborative Denoising for Monte Carlo Rendering 

      Boughida, Malik; Boubekeur, Tamy (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)
      The stochastic nature of Monte Carlo rendering algorithms inherently produces noisy images. Essentially, three approaches have been developed to solve this issue: improving the ray-tracing strategies to reduce pixel variance, ...
