A New Fast and Robust Collision Detection and Force Computation Algorithm Applied to the Physics Engine Bullet: Method, Integration, and Evaluation
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)
We present a collision detection and force computation algorithm based on the Voxelmap-Pointshell Algorithm which was integrated and evaluated in the physics engine Bullet. Our algorithm uses signed distance fields and ...
New Techniques for Hand Pose Estimation Based on Kinect Depth Data
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)
In this paper we present new techniques for extension and improvement of approaches to markerless 3D hand pose estimation: A new algorithm for finger segmentation in point clouds of hands is presented which makes use of ...
PolyVR - A Virtual Reality Authoring System
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)
Virtual Reality applications are very complex. 3D modelling and scene authoring is very time consuming and requires expertise in computer sciences. A further problem are the advanced Virtual Reality hardware setups, which ...
Virtual Reality Interface for Multidisciplinary Physical Analysis of Space Vehicles
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)
Physical analysis of Space Vehicles during the pre-launch phase is often performed using mono or multidisciplinary software tools developed for the specific research intent. The mentioned tools, their methods and their ...
Development of a VR Planning Model of a River Lock for Risk Assessment in the Construction and Machinery Industry
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)
There is a growing interest in prospective risk assessments to enable design improvements early in machinery development. Though simulation-based methods such as virtual reality (VR) may provide assistance for risk assessment, ...
Experiencing Infrastructures Sharing for International Research Activities
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)
The Visionair Project aims at the creation of a distributed infrastructure of technological facilities in Europe as a visible, attractive entry point towards research and experimentation in high level visualisation, virtual ...
DroneAGE: an Advanced Graphic Environment for Planning and Control of Drone Missions
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs, commonly known as "drones") have proven to be useful as a platform for remote sensing (RS), that is the acquisition of information about objects, areas or phenomena from a distance, without ...
