    • A Multi-Agent System for the Interpretation of Architectural Sketches 

      Juchmes, Roland; Leclercq, Pierre (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      Architects widely resort to sketch during their early phase of design, because sketching appears to be the most adapted mean to express and to manipulate creative ideas. In order to assist the designers during this inventive ...
    • On the Evolution of Geometrical Reconstruction as a Core Technology to Sketch-Based Modeling 

      Company, Pedro; Piquer, Ana; Contero, Manuel (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      In this work, the background and evolution of three-dimensional reconstruction of line drawing over the last thirty years is discussed. A new general taxonomy is proposed to describe and discuss the historical evolution ...
    • Pen Stroke Extraction and Refinement using Learned Models 

      Simhon, Saul; Dudek, Gregory (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      This paper presents a smart interface that automatically extracts and refines pen strokes from images of hand drawn sketches. The interface allows users to digitize hand-drawn material such sketches of flowcharts, cartoons ...
    • Pen-to-mime: A Pen-Based Interface for Interactive Control of A Human Figure 

      Oshita, Masaki (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      This paper presents a pen-based intuitive interface to control a virtual human figure interactively. Recent commercial pen devices can detect not only the pen positions but also the pressure and tilt of the pen. We utilize ...
    • Process Improvement Impacts on the Styling Workflow of an Industrial Design Company 

      Barone, Mirko (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      The renovation of the process represents a must for an industrial company involved in the design field. The process is moving from an entirely manual to a digital workflow, so much that sometimes users find many difficulties ...
    • Relief: A Modeling by Drawing Tool 

      Bourguignon, David; Chaine, Raphaelle; Cani, Marie-Paule; Drettakis, George (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      This paper presents a modeling system which takes advantage of two-dimensional drawing knowledge to design three-dimensional free-form shapes. A set of mouse or tablet strokes is interpreted by the system as defining both ...
    • A Sketch-Based Interface for Collaborative Design . 

      Fan, Zhe; Chi, Ma; Kaufman, Arie; Oliveira, Manuel M. (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      We present an interface for collaborative conceptual design that combines sketch elements, direct manipulation of 3D objects and non-photorealistic rendering. Such a combination results in a simple and intuitive 2D-sketch-to- ...
    • Sketching Garments for Virtual Characters . 

      Turquin, Emmanuel; Cani, Marie-Paule; Hughes, John F. (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      We present a method for simply and interactively creating basic garments for dressing virtual characters in applications like video games. The user draws an outline of the front or back of the garment, and the system makes ...
    • Sketching in Early Conceptual Phases of Product Design: Guidelines and Tools 

      Ponn, Josef; Lindemann, Udo; Diehl, Holger; Müller, Franz (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      The early phases of product development play a significant role for the success of a product and the prevention of time and money consuming changes in late phases. This paper describes a new methodological approach for the ...
    • Spatial Recognition and Grouping of Text and Graphics 

      Shilman, Michael; Viola, Paul (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      We present a framework for simultaneous grouping and recognition of shapes and symbols in free-form ink diagrams. The approach is completely spatial, that is it does not require any ordering on the strokes. It also does ...
    • Towards 3DModeling using Sketches and Retrieval 

      Fonseca, Manuel J.; Ferreira, Alfredo; Jorge, Joaquim A. (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      Retrieving 2D and 3D drawings by content is not an easy task. Automatic feature extraction, indexing and matching are some of the problems raised by these approaches. We have developed a generic method to classify, index ...
    • A Two-Stage Approach for Interpreting Line Drawings of Curved Objects 

      Varley, P. A. C.; Takahashi, Y.; Mitani, J.; Suzuki, H. (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      We describe a two-stage approach for interpreting line drawings of curved objects. In the first stage, the user enters a natu-ral line drawing of a polyhedral template; this is automatically interpreted as the corresponding ...
