Smoke is one of the core phenomena which fluid simulation techniques in computer graphics have attempted to capture. It is both well understood mathematically and important in lending realism to computer generated effects. ...

We introduce a novel texture-based volume rendering approach that achieves the image quality of the best post-shading approaches with far less slices. It is suitable for new flexible consumer graphics hardware and provides ...

Comparing points on 3D shapes is among the fundamental operations in shape analysis. To facilitate this task, a great number of local point signatures or descriptors have been proposed in the past decades. However, the ...

Registration is a key step in the 3D reconstruction of real-world objects. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical method for the rigid registration of multiple views. The multiview registration problem is solved via ...

In computer graphics, numerous geometry processing applications reduce to the solution of a Poisson equation. When considering geometries with symmetry, a natural question to consider is whether and how the symmetry can ...

Proteins play a vital role in biological processes, with their function being largely determined by their structure. It is important to know what a protein binds, where it binds, how it binds, and what is its final ...

We present the first 3D algorithm capable of answering the question: what would a Mandelbrot-like set in the shape of a bunny look like? More concretely, can we find an iterated quaternion rational map whose potential field ...

In this position paper we suggest a possible metric approach to shape comparison that is based on a mathematical formalization of the concept of observer, seen as a collection of suitable operators acting on a metric space ...

RGB-D cameras allow to capture digital representations of objects in an easy and inexpensive way. Such technology enables ordinary users to capture everyday object into digital 3D representations. In this context, we present ...

Matching deformable 3D shapes under partiality transformations is a challenging problem that has received limited focus in the computer vision and graphics communities. With this benchmark, we explore and thoroughly ...
