    • Passive Spatio-Temporal Geometry Reconstruction of Human Faces at Very High Fidelity 

      Beeler, Thabo (Beeler, 2012-09-18)
      The creation of realistic synthetic human faces is one of the most important and at the same time also most challenging topics in computer graphics. The high complexity of the face as well as our familiarity with it renders ...

    • Perception-Augmenting Illumination 

      Solteszova, Veronika (Solteszova, 2012-10-04)
      At each stage of the visualization pipeline, the information is impeded by loss or by noise because of imprecise acquisition, storage limitations, and processing. Furthermore, it passes through the complex and not yet well ...

    • Perceptual Display: Exceeding Display Limitations by Exploiting the Human Visual System 

      Didyk, Piotr (Didyk, Piotr, 2012-08-20)
      Existing displays have a number of limitations, which make it difficult to realistically reproduce real-world appearance; discrete pixels are used to represent images, which are refreshed only a limited number of times ...

    • Practical Real-Time Strategies for Photorealistic Skin Rendering and Antialiasing 

      Jimenez, Jorge (Jimenez, 2012-07-13)
      The first topic of this thesis, photorealistic skin rendering, is of extreme importance to create believable special effects in cinematography,but it has been ignored to an extent by the game industry. However, in the last ...

    • Quadrilateral Surface Mesh Generationfor Animation and Simulation 

      Bommes, David (Bommes, 2012-10-11)
      Accurately describing the geometry of objects in a digital environment, i.e. computers, isan essential ingredient in many of nowadays applications. Often it is desired to forecastthe behavior of real phenomena which depend ...

    • Real-Time Geometry Decompression on Graphics Hardware 

      Meyer, Quirin (Dr. Hut Verlag, 2012-08-01)
      Real-Time Computer Graphics focuses on generating images fast enough to cause the illusion of a continuous motion. It is used in science, engineering, computer games, image processing, and design. Special purpose graphics ...

    • Real-time Illustrative Visualization of Cardiovascular Hemodynamics 

      Van Pelt, Roy F. P. (Van Pelt, 13-06-2012)
      Modern magnetic resonance imaging techniques enable acquisition of time-resolved volumetric blood-flow velocity data. With these data, physicians aim for newfound insight into the intricate blood-flow dynamics. This ...

    • Signal processing methods for beat tracking, music segmentation, and audio retrieval 

      Grosche, Peter (Grosche, Peter, 2012-11-09)
      The goal of music information retrieval (MIR) is to develop novel strategies and techniques for organizing, exploring, accessing, and understanding music data in an efficient manner. The conversion of waveform-based ...

    • Topological analysis of discrete scalar data 

      Günther, David (Günther, 2012-12-18)
      This thesis presents a novel computational framework that allows for a robust extraction and quantification of the Morse-Smale complex of a scalar field given on a 2- or 3- dimensional manifold. The proposed framework is ...
