      Dimensionality reduction techniques are the tools of choice for exploring high-dimensional datasets by means of low-dimensional projections. However, even state-of-the-art projection methods fail, up to various degrees, ...
    • Explicit Adaptive Tessellation based on re-parametrization on Graphics Hardware 

      Martinelli, Alessandro (The Eurographics Association, 2007)
      We propose to use an explicit function for adaptive tessellation of parametric curves and surfaces. This function behaves as a new parametrization from the surface domain (or curve domain) to the domain itself; it is build ...
    • Exploiting Silhouette Descriptors and Synthetic Data for Hand Gesture Recognition 

      Memo, Alvise; Minto, Ludovico; Zanuttigh, Pietro (The Eurographics Association, 2015)
      This paper proposes a novel real-time hand gesture recognition scheme explicitly targeted to depth data. The hand silhouette is firstly extracted from the acquired data and then two ad-hoc feature sets are computed from ...
