4D Reconstruction of Blooming Flowers
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)Flower blooming is a beautiful phenomenon in nature as flowers open in an intricate and complex manner whereas petals bend, stretch and twist under various deformations. Flower petals are typically thin structures arranged ... -
Visual Quantification of the Circle of Willis: An Automated Identification and Standardized Representation
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)This paper presents a method for the visual quantification of cerebral arteries, known as the Circle of Willis (CoW). It is an arterial structure with the responsibility of supplying the brain with blood, however, dysfunctions ... -
Dynamically Enriched MPM for Invertible Elasticity
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)We extend the material point method (MPM) for robust simulation of extremely large elastic deformation. This facilitates the application of MPM towards a unified solver since its versatility has been demonstrated lately ... -
Stress‐Constrained Thickness Optimization for Shell Object Fabrication
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)We present an approach to fabricate shell objects with thickness parameters, which are computed to maintain the user‐specified structural stability. Given a boundary surface and user‐specified external forces, we optimize ... -
Time‐Continuous Quasi‐Monte Carlo Ray Tracing
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)Domain‐continuous visibility determination algorithms have proved to be very efficient at reducing noise otherwise prevalent in stochastic sampling. Even though they come with an increased overhead in terms of geometrical ... -
Spectral Processing of Tangential Vector Fields
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)We propose a framework for the spectral processing of tangential vector fields on surfaces. The basis is a Fourier‐type representation of tangential vector fields that associates frequencies with tangential vector fields. ... -
Adaptive Physically Based Models in Computer Graphics
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)One of the major challenges in physically based modelling is making simulations efficient. Adaptive models provide an essential solution to these efficiency goals. These models are able to self‐adapt in space and time, ... -
A Phase‐Based Approach for Animating Images Using Video Examples
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)We present a novel approach for animating static images that contain objects that move in a subtle, stochastic fashion (e.g. rippling water, swaying trees, or flickering candles). To do this, our algorithm leverages example ... -
Reevaluating Reconstruction Filters for Path‐Searching Tasks in 3D
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)In this paper, we present an experiment on stereoscopic direct volume rendering, aiming at understanding the relationship between the choice of reconstruction filter and participant performance on tasks requiring spatial ... -
Scalable Feature‐Preserving Irregular Mesh Coding
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)This paper presents a novel wavelet‐based transform and coding scheme for irregular meshes. The transform preserves geometric features at lower resolutions by adaptive vertex sampling and retriangulation, resulting in more ... -
Structure‐Texture Decomposition of Images with Interval Gradient
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)This paper presents a novel filtering‐based method for decomposing an image into structures and textures. Unlike previous filtering algorithms, our method adaptively smooths image gradients to filter out textures from ... -
Intrinsic Image Decomposition Using Multi‐Scale Measurements and Sparsity
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)Automatic decomposition of intrinsic images, especially for complex real‐world images, is a challenging under‐constrained problem. Thus, we propose a new algorithm that generates and combines multi‐scale properties of ... -
Visual Text Analysis in Digital Humanities
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)In 2005, Franco Moretti introduced Distant Reading to analyse entire literary text collections. This was a rather revolutionary idea compared to the traditional Close Reading, which focuses on the thorough interpretation ... -
Visualizing Group Structures in Graphs: A Survey
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)Graph visualizations encode relationships between objects. Abstracting the objects into group structures provides an overview of the data. Groups can be disjoint or overlapping, and might be organized hierarchically. ... -
Interactive Lenses for Visualization: An Extended Survey
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)The elegance of using virtual interactive lenses to provide alternative visual representations for selected regions of interest is highly valued, especially in the realm of visualization. Today, more than 50 lens techniques ... -
Interactive Analysis of Connolly Surfaces for Various Probes
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)The Connolly surface defines the boundary between a molecular structure and its environment. Its shape depends on the radius of the probe used to inspect the structure. The exploration of surface features is of great ... -
A Visualization‐Based Analysis System for Urban Search & Rescue Mission Planning Support
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)We propose a visualization system for incident commanders (ICs) in urban search and rescue scenarios that supports path planning in post‐disaster structures. Utilizing point cloud data acquired from unmanned robots, we ... -
A Colour Interpolation Scheme for Topologically Unrestricted Gradient Meshes
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)Gradient meshes are a 2D vector graphics primitive where colour is interpolated between mesh vertices. The current implementations of gradient meshes are restricted to rectangular mesh topology. Our new interpolation method ... -
