Olfaction and Selective Rendering
(© 2018 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Accurate simulation of all the senses in virtual environments is a computationally expensive task. Visual saliency models have been used to improve computational performance for rendered content, but this is insufficient ... -
On the Stability of Functional Maps and Shape Difference Operators
(© 2018 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)In this paper, we provide stability guarantees for two frameworks that are based on the notion of functional maps—the framework of shape difference operators and the one of analyzing and visualizing the deformations between ... -
On-the-Fly Power-Aware Rendering
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Power saving is a prevailing concern in desktop computers and, especially, in battery-powered devices such as mobile phones. This is generating a growing demand for power-aware graphics applications that can extend battery ... -
Online Global Non-rigid Registration for 3D Object Reconstruction Using Consumer-level Depth Cameras
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)We investigate how to obtain high-quality 360-degree 3D reconstructions of small objects using consumer-level depth cameras. For many homeware objects such as shoes and toys with dimensions around 0.06 - 0:4 meters, their ... -
On‐The‐Fly Tracking of Flame Surfaces for the Visual Analysis of Combustion Processes
(© 2018 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)The visual analysis of combustion processes is one of the challenges of modern flow visualization. In turbulent combustion research, the behaviour of the flame surface contains important information about the interactions ... -
Packable Springs
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Laser cutting is an appealing fabrication process due to the low cost of materials and extremely fast fabrication. However, the design space afforded by laser cutting is limited, since only flat panels can be cut. Previous ... -
Packing Irregular Objects in 3D Space via Hybrid Optimization
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Packing problems arise in a wide variety of practical applications. The basic problem is that of placing as many objects as possible in a non-overlapping configuration within a given container. Problems involving irregular ... -
Parallel Multigrid for Nonlinear Cloth Simulation
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Accurate high-resolution simulation of cloth is a highly desired computational tool in graphics applications. As singleresolution simulation starts to reach the limit of computational power, we believe the future of cloth ... -
Parallel Reinsertion for Bounding Volume Hierarchy Optimization
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)We present a novel highly parallel method for optimizing bounding volume hierarchies (BVH) targeting contemporary GPU architectures. The core of our method is based on the insertion-based BVH optimization that is known to ... -
Part‐Based Mesh Segmentation: A Survey
(© 2018 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)This paper surveys mesh segmentation techniques and algorithms, with a focus on part‐based segmentation, that is, segmentation that divides a mesh (featuring a 3D object) into meaningful parts. Part‐based segmentation ... -
PCPNet: Learning Local Shape Properties from Raw Point Clouds
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)In this paper, we propose PCPNET, a deep-learning based approach for estimating local 3D shape properties in point clouds. In contrast to the majority of prior techniques that concentrate on global or mid-level attributes, ... -
PencilArt: A Chromatic Penciling Style Generation Framework
(© 2018 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Non‐photorealistic rendering has been an active area of research for decades whereas few of them concentrate on rendering chromatic penciling style. In this paper, we present a framework named as PencilArt for the chromatic ... -
The Perception of Graph Properties in Graph Layouts
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)When looking at drawings of graphs, questions about graph density, community structures, local clustering and other graph properties may be of critical importance for analysis. While graph layout algorithms have focused ... -
Peridynamics‐Based Fracture Animation for Elastoplastic Solids
(© 2018 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)In this paper, we exploit the use of peridynamics theory for graphical animation of material deformation and fracture. We present a new meshless framework for elastoplastic constitutive modelling that contrasts with previous ... -
A Physically Consistent Implicit Viscosity Solver for SPH Fluids
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)In this paper, we present a novel physically consistent implicit solver for the simulation of highly viscous fluids using the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) formalism. Our method is the result of a theoretical and ... -
A Physically-based Appearance Model for Special Effect Pigments
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)An appearance model for materials adhered with massive collections of special effect pigments has to take both high-frequency spatial details (e.g., glints) and wave-optical effects (e.g., iridescence) due to thin-film ... -
Piecewise Linear Mapping Optimization Based on the Complex View
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)We present an efficient modified Newton iteration for the optimization of nonlinear energies on triangle meshes. Noting that the linear mapping between any pair of triangles is a special case of harmonic mapping, we build ... -
PixelSNE: Pixel-Aligned Stochastic Neighbor Embedding for Efficient 2D Visualization with Screen-Resolution Precision
