Dynamic Remeshing and Applications
(Vorsatz, Jens, 2006-06-12)Triangle meshes are a flexible and generally accepted boundary representation for complex geometric shapes. In addition to their geometric qualities such as for instance smoothness, feature sensitivity ,or topological ... -
Edit Propagation using Geometric Analogies
(2014-09-19)Modeling complex geometrical shapes, like city scenes or terrains with dense vegetation, is a time-consuming task that cannot be automated trivially. The problem of creating and editing many similar, but not identical ... -
Effective Retrieval and Visual Analysis in Multimedia Databases
(Schreck, Tobias, April 2007)Based on advances in acquisition, storage, and dissemination technology, increasing amounts of multimedia content such as images, audio, video, or 3D models, become available. The Feature Vector (FV) paradigm is one of the ... -
Efficient Acquisition, Representation, and Rendering of Light Fields
(Schirmacher, Hartmut, 2003-12-16)In this thesis we discuss the representation of three-dimensional scenes using image data (image-based rendering), and more precisely the so-called light field approach. We start with an up-to-date survey on previous ... -
Efficient and Expressive Microfacet Models
(Charles University, 2023)In realistic appearance modeling, rough surfaces that have microscopic details are described using so-called microfacet models. These include analytical models that statistically define a physically-based microsurface. ... -
Efficient and High Performing Biometrics: Towards Enabling Recognition in Embedded Domains
(2022-06-14)The growing need for reliable and accurate recognition solutions along with the recent innovations in deep learning methodologies has reshaped the research landscape of biometric recognition. Developing efficient biometric ... -
Efficient Illumination Algorithms for Global Illumination in Interactive and Real-Time Rendering
(National Archive of PhD Theses, 2017-11-22)The synthesis of photorealistic digital imagery has long been considered as one of the most fascinating domains in the field of computer graphics. Its main goal is the generation of visually stunning images, mimicking ... -
Efficient Light-Transport Simulation Using Machine Learning
(ETH Zürich, 2019)The goal in this dissertation is the efficient synthesis of photorealistic images on a computer. Currently, by far the most popular approach for photorealistic image synthesis is path tracing, a Monte Carlo simulation of ... -
Efficient Line and Patch Feature Characterization and Management for Real-time Camera Tracking
(Wuest, 2008)One of the key problems of augmented reality is the tracking of the camera position andviewing direction in real-time. Current vision-based systems mostly rely on the detectionand tracking of fiducial markers. Some markerless ... -
Efficient Methods for Computational Light Transport
(Universidad de Zaragoza, 2018-10-26)In this thesis we present contributions to different challenges of computational light transport. Light transport algorithms are present in many modern applications, from image generation for visual effects to real-time ... -
Efficient methods for physically-based rendering of participating media
(2016-02-02)This thesis proposes several novel methods for realistic synthesis of images containing participating media. This is a challenging problem, due to the multitude and complexity of ways how light interacts with participating ... -
Efficient Object-Based Hierarchical Radiosity Methods
(Schäfer, Stephan, 2000-05-30)The efficient generation of photorealistic images is one of the main subjects in the field of computer graphics. In contrast to simple image generation which is directly supported by standard 3D graphics hardware, ... -
Efficient Shadow Map Filtering
(Annen, Thomas, 2008-12-12)Shadows provide the human visual system with important cues to sense spatial relationshipsin the environment we live in. As such they are an indispensable partof realistic computer-generated imagery. Unfortunately, visibility ... -
Efficient, Image-Based Appearance Acquisitionof Real-World Objects
(Lensch, Hendrik Peter Asmus, 2003-12-15)Two ingredients are necessary to synthesize realistic images: an accurate rendering algorithm and, equally important, high-quality models in terms of geometry and reflection properties. In this dissertation we focus ... -
Enhancing Digital Fabrication with Advanced Modeling Techniques
(2017-04)A few years ago there were only expensive machineries dedicated to rapid prototyping for professionals or industrial application, while nowadays very affordable solutions are on the market and have become useful tools for ... -
Error-Concealed Image-based Rendering
(Eisemann, 2011-07-06)Creating photo-realistic images has been one of the major goals in computer graphics since its early days. Instead of modeling the complexity of nature with standard modeling tools, imagebased approaches aim at exploiting ... -
Evaluation and Enhancement of HDR Image Appearance on Displaysof Varying Dynamic Range
(Yoshida, Akiko, 2008-12-16)The increasingly widespread availability of high dynamic range (HDR) technology has led to active study of the characteristics of the human visual system (HVS) in terms of brightness, lightness, contrast, and color ... -
