    • Geometric Deep Learning for Shape Analysis 

      Boscaini, Davide (Università della Svizzera italiana, 2017-08-16)
      The past decade in computer vision research has witnessed the re-emergence of artificial neural networks (ANN), and in particular convolutional neural net- work (CNN) techniques, allowing to learn powerful feature ...

    • High dynamic range imaging: problems of video exposure bracketing, luminance calibration and gloss editing 

      Gryaditskaya, Yulia (2017-06-02)
      Two-dimensional, conventional images are gradually losing their hegemony, leaving room for novel formats. Among these, 8 bit images give place to high dynamic range (HDR) image formats, allowing to improve colour gamut and ...

    • High-quality Face Capture, Animation and Editing from Monocular Video 

      Garrido, Pablo (2017-06-26)
      Digitization of virtual faces in movies requires complex capture setups and extensive manual work to produce superb animations and video-realistic editing. This thesis pushes the boundaries of the digitization pipeline by ...

    • The Impact of Virtual Embodiment on Perception, Attitudes, and Behaviour 

      Banakou, Domna (TDX (Tesis Doctorals en Xarxa), 2017-04-26)
      Over the past two decades extensive research in experimental psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and virtual reality has provided evidence for the malleability of our brain's body representation. It has been shown that a ...
