Practical Real-Time Lens-Flare Rendering
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
We present a practical real-time approach for rendering lens-flare effects. While previous work employed costly ray tracing or complex polynomial expressions, we present a coarser, but also significantly faster solution. ...
Scalable Seams for Gigapixel Panoramas
(The Eurographics Association, 2013)
Gigapixel panoramas are an increasingly popular digital image application. They are often created as a mosaic of smaller images composited into a larger single image. The mosaic acquisition can occur over many hours causing ...
Real-Time Rendering of Water Surfaces with Cartography-Oriented Design
(ACM, 2013)
More than 70 percent of the Earth's surface is covered by oceans, seas, and lakes, making water surfaces one of the primary elements in geospatial visualization. Traditional approaches in computer graphics simulate and ...
Out-of-Core Construction of Sparse Voxel Octrees
(ACM, 2013)
Voxel-based rendering has recently received significant attention due to its potential in the context of efficiently rendering massively large and highly detailed scenes. Unfortunately, few or no scenes are available in ...
LightSkin: Real-Time Global Illumination for Virtual and Mixed Reality
(The Eurographics Association, 2013)
Synthesizing global illumination effects is a vast field of research for both offline and real-time rendering. While the most important goals for offline rendering are realism and physical correctness, real-time rendering ...
Rendering Molecular Surfaces using Order-Independent Transparency
(The Eurographics Association, 2013)
In this paper we present a technique for interactively rendering transparent molecular surfaces. We use Puxels, our implementation of per-pixel linked lists for order-independent transparency rendering. Furthermore, we ...
Shape Matching via Quotient Spaces
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
We introduce a novel method for non-rigid shape matching, designed to address the symmetric ambiguity problem present when matching shapes with intrinsic symmetries. Unlike the majority of existing methods which try to ...
Streamlines for Illustrative Real-Time Rendering
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
Line drawing techniques are important methods to illustrate shapes. Existing feature line methods, e.g., suggestive contours, apparent ridges, or photic extremum lines, solely determine salient regions and illustrate them ...
Consolidation of Low-quality Point Clouds from Outdoor Scenes
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
The emergence of laser/LiDAR sensors, reliable multi-view stereo techniques and more recently consumer depth cameras have brought point clouds to the forefront as a data format useful for a number of applications. ...
Consistent Shape Maps via Semidefinite Programming
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
Recent advances in shape matching have shown that jointly optimizing the maps among the shapes in a collection can lead to significant improvements when compared to estimating maps between pairs of shapes in isolation. ...
