A Framework for Local Terrain Deformation Based on Diffusion Theory
(University of Sussex, 2015-10)Terrains have a key role in making outdoor virtual scenes believable and immersive as they form the support for every other natural element in the scene. Although important, terrains are often given limited interactivity ... -
A Frequency Analysis of Light Transport: from Theory to Implementation
(Belcour, 2012-10-30)The simulation of complex light effects such as depth-of-field, motionblur or scattering in participating media requires a tremendous amountof computation. But the resulting pictures are often blurry. We claimthat those ... -
From Atoms to Cells: Interactive and Illustrative Visualization of Digitally Reproduced Lifeforms
(2016-11-30)Macromolecules, such as proteins, are the building blocks of the machinery of life, and therefore are essential to the comprehension of physiological processes. In physiology, illustrations and animations are often ... -
From Image-based Motion Analysis to Free-Viewpoint Video
(Theobalt, Christian, 2005)The problems of capturing real-world scenes with cameras and automatically analyzing the visible motion have traditionally been in the focus of computer vision research. The photo-realistic rendition of dynamic real-world ... -
From irregular meshes to structured models
(Panozzo, 2012-05-07)Surface manipulation and representation is becoming increasingly important, with applications ranging from special effects for films and video-games to physical simulation on the hulls of airplanes. Much research has been ... -
From motion capture to interactive virtual worlds: towards unconstrained motion-capture algorithms for real-time performance-driven character animation
(2016-12-15)This dissertation takes performance-driven character animation as a representative application and advances motion capture algorithms and animation methods to meet its high demands. Existing approaches have either coarse ... -
From Neurons to Behavior: Visual Analytics Methods for Heterogeneous Spatial Big Brain Data
(2019-09)Advances in neuro-imaging have allowed big brain initiatives and consortia to create vast resources of brain data that can be mined for insights into mental processes and biological principles. Research in this area does ... -
Fully Controllable Data Generation For Realtime Face Capture
(ETH Zurich, 2023-01-31)Data driven realtime face capture has gained considerable momentum in the last few years thanks to deep neural networks that leverage specialized datasets to speedup the acquisition of face geometry and appearance. However ... -
A Generalized Proceduralization Framework for Urban Models with Applications in Procedural Modeling, Synthesis, and Reconstruction
(ProQuest Dissertations Publishing, 2017)The technological developments in the last century have carried us from a few pixels per screen to infinite worlds. Consecutively, recent bottleneck in graphics industry has been changing from the “means” to the “objects”, ... -
Generating High-quality 3D Assets from Easy-to-access 2D content
(University College London, 2019-06-28)In the context of content creation, there is an increasing demand for high-quality digital models including object shape, texture, environment illumination, physical properties, etc. As design and pre-view presentations ... -
Generative Mesh Modeling
(Havemann, Nov 2005)Die generative Modellierung ist ein alternativer Ansatz zur Beschreibung von dreidimensionaler Form. Zugrunde liegt die Idee, ein Modell nicht wie üblich durch eine Ansammlung geometrischer Primitive (Dreiecke, Punkte, ... -
Generative Methods for Data Completion in Shape Driven Systems
(2018)In many application domains, such as building planning, construction, or documentation, it is of high importance to acquire a digital representation of the shape of real world objects, e.g. for visualization or documentation ... -
Geometric Computing in Computer Graphics and Robotics using Conformal Geometric Algebra
(Hildenbrand, Dietmar, Dec 2006)In computer graphics and robotics a lot of different mathematical systems like vector algebra, homogenous coordinates, quaternions or dual quaternions are used for different applications. Now it seems that a change of ... -
Geometric Deep Learning for Shape Analysis
(Università della Svizzera italiana, 2017-08-16)The past decade in computer vision research has witnessed the re-emergence of artificial neural networks (ANN), and in particular convolutional neural net- work (CNN) techniques, allowing to learn powerful feature ... -
