Maps and Globes in Virtual Reality
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)This paper explores different ways to render world-wide geographic maps in virtual reality (VR). We compare: (a) a 3D exocentric globe, where the user's viewpoint is outside the globe; (b) a flat map (rendered to a plane ... -
MIQP-based Layout Design for Building Interiors
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)We propose a hierarchical framework for the generation of building interiors. Our solution is based on a mixed integer quadratic programming (MIQP) formulation. We parametrize a layout by polygons that are further decomposed ... -
Modeling Fonts in Context: Font Prediction on Web Designs
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Web designers often carefully select fonts to fit the context of a web design to make the design look aesthetically pleasing and effective in communication. However, selecting proper fonts for a web design is a tedious and ... -
Modular Latent Spaces for Shape Correspondences
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)We consider the problem of transporting shape descriptors across shapes in a collection in a modular fashion, in order to establish correspondences between them. A common goal when mapping between multiple shapes is ... -
Motion Sickness Simulation Based on Sensorimotor Control
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Sensorimotor control is an essential mechanism for human motions, from involuntary reflex actions to intentional motor skill learning, such as walking, jumping, and swimming. Humans perform various motions according to ... -
Möbius Registration
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Conformal parameterizations over the sphere provide high-quality maps between genus zero surfaces, and are essential for applications such as data transfer and comparative shape analysis. However, such maps are not unique: ... -
MPM Simulation of Interacting Fluids and Solids
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)The material point method (MPM) has attracted increasing attention from the graphics community, as it combines the strengths of both particle- and grid-based solvers. Like the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) scheme, ... -
Multiple Scattering in Inhomogeneous Participating Media Using Rao-Blackwellization and Control Variates
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Rendering inhomogeneous participating media requires a lot of volume samples since the extinction coefficient needs to be integrated along light paths. Ray marching makes small steps, which is time consuming and leads to ... -
Multiscale Visualization and Exploration of Large Bipartite Graphs
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)A bipartite graph is a powerful abstraction for modeling relationships between two collections. Visualizations of bipartite graphs allow users to understand the mutual relationships between the elements in the two collections, ... -
Mumford-Shah Mesh Processing using the Ambrosio-Tortorelli Functional
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)The Mumford-Shah functional approximates a function by a piecewise smooth function. Its versatility makes it ideal for tasks such as image segmentation or restoration, and it is now a widespread tool of image processing. ... -
A New Class of Guided C2 Subdivision Surfaces Combining Good Shape with Nested Refinement
(© 2018 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Converting quadrilateral meshes to smooth manifolds, guided subdivision offers a way to combine the good highlight line distribution of recent G‐spline constructions with the refinability of subdivision surfaces. This ... -
A New Microflake Model With Microscopic Self-shadowing for Accurate Volume Downsampling
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Naive linear methods for downsampling high-resolution microflake volumes often produce inaccurate appearance, especially when input voxels are very opaque. Preserving correct appearance at all resolutions requires taking ... -
A New Uniform Format for 360 VR Videos
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Recent breakthroughs in VR technologies, especially in economic VR headsets and massive smartphones are creating a fastgrowing demand for 3D immersive VR content. 360 VR videos record a surrounding environment in every ... -
Non-Local Low-Rank Normal Filtering for Mesh Denoising
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)This paper presents a non-local low-rank normal filtering method for mesh denoising. By exploring the geometric similarity between local surface patches on 3D meshes in the form of normal fields, we devise a low-rank ... -
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 ... -
