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 ...
In Situ Pathtube Visualization with Explorable Images
(The Eurographics Association, 2013)
In situ processing is considered to be the most plausible data analysis and visualization solution for extreme-scale simulations. Explorable images were introduced as an in situ visualization method to enable interactive ...
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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
Bijective Composite Mean Value Mappings
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
We introduce the novel concept of composite barycentric mappings and give theoretical conditions under which they are guaranteed to be bijective. We then focus on mean value mappings and derive a simple procedure for ...
PixelPie: Maximal Poisson-disk Sampling with Rasterization
(ACM, 2013)
We present PixelPie, a highly parallel geometric formulation of the Poisson-disk sampling problem on the graphics pipeline. Traditionally, generating a distribution by throwing darts and removing conflicts has been viewed ...
Simple Art as Abstractions of Photographs
(ACM, 2013)
This paper shows that it is possible to semi-automatically process photographs into Simple Art. Simple Art is a term that we use to refer to a group of artistic styles such a child art, cave art, and Fine Artists as ...
