    • Self-similarity Analysis for Motion Capture Cleaning 

      Aristidou, Andreas; Cohen-Or, Daniel; Hodgins, Jessica K.; Shamir, Ariel (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
      Motion capture sequences may contain erroneous data, especially when the motion is complex or performers are interacting closely and occlusions are frequent. Common practice is to have specialists visually detect the ...
    • Semantic Reconstruction: Reconstruction of Semantically Segmented 3D Meshes via Volumetric Semantic Fusion 

      Jeon, Junho; Jung, Jinwoong; Kim, Jungeon; Lee, Seungyong (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
      Semantic segmentation partitions a given image or 3D model of a scene into semantically meaning parts and assigns predetermined labels to the parts. With well-established datasets, deep networks have been successfully used ...
    • Semantic Segmentation for Line Drawing Vectorization Using Neural Networks

      In this work, we present a method to vectorize raster images of line art. Inverting the rasterization procedure is inherently ill-conditioned, as there exist many possible vector images that could yield the same raster ...
    • Sensor-aware Normal Estimation for Point Clouds from 3D Range Scans

      Normal vectors are essential for many point cloud operations, including segmentation, reconstruction and rendering. The robust estimation of normal vectors from 3D range scans is a challenging task due to undersampling and ...
    • Sequences with Low-Discrepancy Blue-Noise 2-D Projections 

      Perrier, Hélène; Coeurjolly, David; Xie, Feng; Pharr, Matt; Hanrahan, Pat; Ostromoukhov, Victor (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
      Distributions of samples play a very important role in rendering, affecting variance, bias and aliasing in Monte-Carlo and Quasi-Monte Carlo evaluation of the rendering equation. In this paper, we propose an original sampler ...
    • SetCoLa: High-Level Constraints for Graph Layout 

      Hoffswell, Jane; Borning, Alan; Heer, Jeffrey (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
      Constraints enable flexible graph layout by combining the ease of automatic layout with customizations for a particular domain. However, constraint-based layout often requires many individual constraints defined over ...
    • Shape and Pose Estimation for Closely Interacting Persons Using Multi-view Images 

      Li, Kun; Jiao, Nianhong; Liu, Yebin; Wang, Yangang; Yang, Jingyu (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
      Multi-person pose and shape estimation is very challenging, especially when the persons have close interactions. Existing methods only work well when people are well spaced out in the captured images. However, close ...
    • Single Image Surface Appearance Modeling with Self-augmented CNNs and Inexact Supervision 

      Ye, Wenjie; Li, Xiao; Dong, Yue; Peers, Pieter; Tong, Xin (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
      This paper presents a deep learning based method for estimating the spatially varying surface reflectance properties from a single image of a planar surface under unknown natural lighting trained using only photographs of ...
    • Single-image Tomography: 3D Volumes from 2D Cranial X-Rays 

      Henzler, Philipp; Rasche, Volker; Ropinski, Timo; Ritschel, Tobias (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
      As many different 3D volumes could produce the same 2D x-ray image, inverting this process is challenging. We show that recent deep learning-based convolutional neural networks can solve this task. As the main challenge ...
    • Sit & Relax: Interactive Design of Body-Supporting Surfaces 

      Leimer, Kurt; Birsak, Michael; Rist, Florian; Musialski, Przemyslaw (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
      We propose a novel method for interactive design of well-fitting body-supporting surfaces that is driven by the pressure distribution on the body's surface. Our main contribution is an interactive modeling system that ...
    • Skeletex: Skeleton-texture Co-representation for Topology-driven Real-time Interchange and Manipulation of Surface Regions 

      Madaras, Martin; Riecický, Adam; Mesároš, Michal; Stuchlík, Martin; Piovarči, Michal (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
      Mesh processing algorithms depend on quick access to the local neighborhood, which requires costly memory queries. Moreover, even having access to the local neighborhood is not enough to efficiently perform many geometry ...
    • Sketching in Gestalt Space: Interactive Shape Abstraction through Perceptual Reasoning 

      Kratt, J.; Niese, T.; Hu, R.; Huang, H.; Pirk, S.; Sharf, A.; Cohen‐Or, D.; Deussen, O. (© 2018 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
      We present an interactive method that allows users to easily abstract complex 3D models with only a few strokes. The key idea is to employ well‐known Gestalt principles to help generalizing user inputs into a full model ...
    • Spatio-Temporal Contours from Deep Volume Raycasting 

      Frey, Steffen (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
      We visualize contours for spatio-temporal processes to indicate where and when non-continuous changes occur or spatial bounds are encountered. All time steps are comprised densely in one visualization, with contours allowing ...
    • Spectral Gradient Sampling for Path Tracing 

      Petitjean, Victor; Bauszat, Pablo; Eisemann, Elmar (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
      Spectral Monte-Carlo methods are currently the most powerful techniques for simulating light transport with wavelengthdependent phenomena (e.g., dispersion, colored particle scattering, or diffraction gratings). Compared ...
    • The State of the Art in Sentiment Visualization 

      Kucher, Kostiantyn; Paradis, Carita; Kerren, Andreas (© 2018 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
