Acquisition and Validation of Spectral Ground Truth Data for Predictive Rendering of Rough Surfaces
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Physically based rendering uses principles of physics to model the interaction of light with matter. Even though it is possible to achieve photorealistic renderings, it often fails to be predictive. There are two major ... -
Analyzing Residue Surface Proximity to Interpret Molecular Dynamics
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)The surface of a molecule holds important information about the interaction behavior with other molecules. In dynamic folding or docking processes, residues of amino acids with different properties change their position ... -
Application‐Specific Tone Mapping Via Genetic Programming
(© 2018 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)High dynamic range (HDR) imagery permits the manipulation of real‐world data distinct from the limitations of the traditional, low dynamic range (LDR), content. The process of retargeting HDR content to traditional LDR ... -
An Approximate Parallel Vectors Operator for Multiple Vector Fields
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)The Parallel Vectors (PV) Operator extracts the locations of points where two vector fields are parallel. In general, these features are line structures. The PV operator has been used successfully for a variety of problems, ... -
Approximate Program Smoothing Using Mean-Variance Statistics, with Application to Procedural Shader Bandlimiting
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)We introduce a general method to approximate the convolution of a program with a Gaussian kernel. This results in the program being smoothed. Our compiler framework models intermediate values in the program as random ... -
ARAPLBS: Robust and Efficient Elasticity‐Based Optimization of Weights and Skeleton Joints for Linear Blend Skinning with Parametrized Bones
(© 2018 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)We present a fast, robust and high‐quality technique to skin a mesh with reference to a skeleton. We consider the space of possible skeleton deformations (based on skeletal constraints, or skeletal animations), and compute ... -
Assessing Effects of Task and Data Distribution on the Effectiveness of Visual Encodings
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)In addition to the choice of visual encodings, the effectiveness of a data visualization may vary with the analytical task being performed and the distribution of data values. To better assess these effects and create ... -
Audiovisual Resource Allocation for Bimodal Virtual Environments
(© 2018 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Fidelity is of key importance if virtual environments are to be used as authentic representations of real environments. However, simulating the multitude of senses that comprise the human sensory system is computationally ... -
Aura Mesh: Motion Retargeting to Preserve the Spatial Relationships between Skinned Characters
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Applying motion-capture data to multi-person interaction between virtual characters is challenging because one needs to preserve the interaction semantics while also satisfying the general requirements of motion retargeting, ... -
Automatic Mechanism Modeling from a Single Image with CNNs
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)This paper presents a novel system that enables a fully automatic modeling of both 3D geometry and functionality of a mechanism assembly from a single RGB image. The resulting 3D mechanism model highly resembles the one ... -
Baseball Timeline: Summarizing Baseball Plays Into a Static Visualization
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)In sports, Play Diagrams are the standard way to represent and convey information. They are widely used by coaches, managers, journalists and fans in general. There are situations where diagrams may be hard to understand, ... -
Bidirectional Rendering of Vector Light Transport
(© 2018 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)On the foundations of many rendering algorithms it is the symmetry between the path traversed by light and its adjoint path starting from the camera. However, several effects, including polarization or fluorescence, break ... -
Binocular Tone Mapping with Improved Overall Contrast and Local Details
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Tone mapping is a commonly used technique that maps the set of colors in high-dynamic-range (HDR) images to another set of colors in low-dynamic-range (LDR) images, to fit the need for print-outs, LCD monitors and projectors. ... -
Biorthogonal Wavelet Surface Reconstruction Using Partial Integrations
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)We introduce a new biorthogonal wavelet approach to creating a water-tight surface defined by an implicit function, from a finite set of oriented points. Our approach aims at addressing problems with previous wavelet methods ... -
Bladder Runner: Visual Analytics for the Exploration of RT-Induced Bladder Toxicity in a Cohort Study
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)We present the Bladder Runner, a novel tool to enable detailed visual exploration and analysis of the impact of bladder shape variation on the accuracy of dose delivery, during the course of prostate cancer radiotherapy ... -
Cable Joints
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Robustly and efficiently simulating cables and ropes that are part of a larger system such as cable driven machines, cable cars or tendons in a human or robot is a challenging task. To be able to adapt to the environment, ... -
CFGExplorer: Designing a Visual Control Flow Analytics System around Basic Program Analysis Operations
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)To develop new compilation and optimization techniques, computer scientists frequently consult program analysis artifacts such as control flow graphs (CFGs) and traces of executed instructions. A CFG is a directed graph ... -
ChangeCatcher: Increasing Inter-author Awareness for Visualization Development
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)We introduce an approach for explicitly revealing changes between versions of a visualization workbook to support version comparison tasks. Visualization authors may need to understand version changes for a variety of ... -
Chart Constellations: Effective Chart Summarization for Collaborative and Multi-User Analyses
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Many data problems in the real world are complex and require multiple analysts working together to uncover embedded insights by creating chart-driven data stories. How, as a subsequent analysis step, do we interpret and ... -
