A Multiscale Metric for 3D Mesh Visual Quality Assessment
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)
Many processing operations are nowadays applied on 3D meshes like compression, watermarking, remeshing and so forth; these processes are mostly driven and/or evaluated using simple distortion measures like the Hausdorff ...
Human Motion Reconstruction from Force Sensors
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)
Consumer-grade, real-time motion capture devices are becoming commonplace in every household, thanks to the recent development in depth-camera technologies. We introduce a new approach to capturing and reconstructing ...
Stone Weathering in a Photograph
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)
The appearance of weathering effects on stone is important for creating outdoor scenes in computer graphics. To achieve them, previous research has built upon physical simulation, which, while yielding a degree of realism, ...
Large-Scale Integer Linear Programming for Orientation Preserving 3D Shape Matching
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)
We study an algorithmic framework for computing an elastic orientation-preserving matching of non-rigid 3D shapes. We outline an Integer Linear Programming formulation whose relaxed version can be minimized globally in ...
Efficient I/O for Parallel Visualization
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)
While additional cores and newer architectures, such as those provided by GPU clusters, steadily increase available compute power, memory and disk access has not kept pace, and most believe this trend will continue. It is ...
Probabilistic Marching Cubes
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)
In this paper we revisit the computation and visualization of equivalents to isocontours in uncertain scalar fields. We model uncertainty by discrete random fields and, in contrast to previous methods, also take arbitrary ...
Visualization and Analysis of Eddies in a Global Ocean Simulation
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)
We present analysis and visualization of flow data from a high-resolution simulation of the dynamical behavior of the global ocean. Of particular scientific interest are coherent vortical features called mesoscale eddies. ...
ManyLoDs: Parallel Many-View Level-of-Detail Selection for Real-Time Global Illumination
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)
Level-of-Detail structures are a key component for scalable rendering. Built from raw 3D data, these structures are often defined as Bounding Volume Hierarchies, providing coarse-to-fine adaptive approximations that are ...
SAH KD-Tree Construction on GPU
(ACM, 2011)
KD-tree is one of the most efficient acceleration data structures for ray tracing. In this paper, we present a kd-tree construction algorithm that is precisely SAH-optimized and runs entirely on GPU. We construct the tree ...
Interactive Modeling of Muqarnas
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)
Muqarnas is a mesmerizing 3D feature of Islamic architecture that exhibit intricate geometry. Such designs are composed of several basic structures combined in successive layers, producing complicated 3D surfaces. In this ...
