    • Near Optimal Hierarchical Culling: Performance Driven Use of Hardware Occlusion Queries 

      Guthe, Michael; Balázs, Ákos; Klein, Reinhard (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      The most efficient general occlusion culling techniques are based on hardware accelerated occlusion queries. Although in many cases these techniques can considerably improve performance, they may still reduce efficiency ...

      Xu, Songhua; Lau, Francis C. M.; Jiang, Hao; Pan, Yunhe (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      This paper proposes a new rendering approach for hair. The model we use incorporates semantics-related information directly in the appearance modeling function which we call a Semantics-Aware Texture Function (SATF). This ...

    • Practical, Real-time Studio Matting using Dual Imagers 

      McGuire, Morgan; Matusik, Wojciech; Yerazunis, William (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      This paper presents a practical system for capturing high-resolution video mattes using cameras that contain two imagers on one optical axis. The dual imagers capture registered frames that differ only by defocus or ...
    • Real-time Multi-perspective Rendering on Graphics Hardware 

      Hou, Xianyou; Wei, Li-Yi; Shum, Heung-Yeung; Guo, Baining (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      Multi-perspective rendering has a variety of applications; examples include lens refraction, curved mirror re- flection, caustics, as well depiction and visualization. However, multi-perspective rendering is not yet practical ...
    • Real-time Soft Shadow Mapping by Backprojection 

      Guennebaud, Gaël; Barthe, Loïc; Paulin, Mathias (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      We present a new real-time soft shadow algorithm using a single shadow map per light source. Therefore, our algorithm is well suited to render both complex and dynamic scenes, and it handles all rasterizable geometries. ...
    • Reconstruction of Volumetric Surface Textures for Real-Time Rendering 

      Magda, Sebastian; Kriegman, David (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      Volumetric texturing is a popular technique for rendering rich 3-D detail when a polygonal surface representation would be ineffective. Although efficient algorithms for rendering volumetric textures have been known for ...
    • Relighting Human Locomotion with Flowed Reflectance Fields 

      Einarsson, Per; Chabert, Charles-Felix; Jones, Andrew; Ma, Wan-Chun; Lamond, Bruce; Hawkins, Tim; Bolas, Mark; Sylwan, Sebastian; Debevec, Paul (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      We present an image-based approach for capturing the appearance of a walking or running person so they can be rendered realistically under variable viewpoint and illumination. In our approach, a person walks on a treadmill ...
    • Segmentation-Based 3D Artistic Rendering 

      Kolliopoulos, Alexander; Wang, Jack M.; Hertzmann, Aaron (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      This paper introduces segmentation-based 3D non-photorealistic rendering, in which 3D scenes are rendered as a collection of 2D image segments. Segments abstract out unnecessary detail and provide a basis for defining new ...
    • Sequential Sampling for Dynamic Environment Map Illumination 

      Ghosh, Abhijeet; Doucet, Arnaud; Heidrich, Wolfgang (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      Sampling complex illumination in the form of environment maps has received a lot of attention in computer graphics. Recent work in this area has demonstrated that drawing samples from the product of light and BRDF produces ...
    • Silhouette Texture 

      Wu, Hongzhi; Wei, Li-Yi; Wang, Xi; Guo, Baining (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      Using coarse meshes with textures and/or normal maps to represent detailed meshes often results in poor visual quality along silhouettes. To tackle this problem, we introduce silhouette texture, a new data structure for ...
    • Sparse Lumigraph Relighting by Illumination and Reflectance Estimation from Multi-View Images 

      Yu, Tianli; Wang, Hongcheng; Ahuja, Narendra; Chen, Wei-Chao (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      We present a novel relighting approach that does not assume that the illumination is known or controllable. Instead, we estimate the illumination and texture from given multi-view images captured under a single illumination ...
    • Spatio-Angular Resolution Tradeoffs in Integral Photography 

      Georgeiv, Todor; Zheng, Ke Colin; Curless, Brian; Salesin, David; Nayar, Shree; Intwala, Chintan (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      An integral camera samples the 4D light field of a scene within a single photograph. This paper explores the fundamental tradeoff between spatial resolution and angular resolution that is inherent to integral photography. ...
    • A Spectral BSSRDF for Shading Human Skin 

      Donner, Craig; Jensen, Henrik Wann (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      We present a novel spectral shading model for human skin. Our model accounts for both subsurface and surface scattering, and uses only four parameters to simulate the interaction of light with human skin. The four parameters ...
    • Statistical Acquisition of Texture Appearance 

      Ngan, Addy; Durand, Frédo (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      We propose a simple method to acquire and reconstruct material appearance with sparsely sampled data. Our technique renders elaborate view- and light-dependent effects and faithfully reproduces materials such as fabrics ...
