Landscaper: A Modeling System for 3D Printing Scale Models of Landscapes
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Landscape models of geospatial regions provide an intuitive mechanism for exploring complex geospatial information. However, the methods currently used to create these scale models require a large amount of resources, which ... -
Laplace–Beltrami Operator on Point Clouds Based on Anisotropic Voronoi Diagram
(© 2018 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)The symmetrizable and converged Laplace–Beltrami operator () is an indispensable tool for spectral geometrical analysis of point clouds. The , introduced by Liu et al. [LPG12] is guaranteed to be symmetrizable, but its ... -
Large‐Scale Pixel‐Precise Deferred Vector Maps
(© 2018 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Rendering vector maps is a key challenge for high‐quality geographic visualization systems. In this paper, we present a novel approach to visualize vector maps over detailed terrain models in a pixel‐precise way. Our method ... -
Learning Fuzzy Set Representations of Partial Shapes on Dual Embedding Spaces
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Modeling relations between components of 3D objects is essential for many geometry editing tasks. Existing techniques commonly rely on labeled components, which requires substantial annotation effort and limits components ... -
Learning Physically Based Humanoid Climbing Movements
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)We propose a novel learning-based solution for motion planning of physically-based humanoid climbing that allows for fast and robust planning of complex climbing strategies and movements, including extreme movements such ... -
Learning Scene Illumination by Pairwise Photos from Rear and Front Mobile Cameras
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Illumination estimation is an essential problem in computer vision, graphics and augmented reality. In this paper, we propose a learning based method to recover low-frequency scene illumination represented as spherical ... -
Light Optimization for Detail Highlighting
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)In this paper we propose an effective technique for the automatic arrangement of spot lights and other luminaires on or near user-provided arbitrary mounting surfaces in order to highlight the geometric details of complex ... -
Liquid Splash Modeling with Neural Networks
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)This paper proposes a new data-driven approach to model detailed splashes for liquid simulations with neural networks. Our model learns to generate small-scale splash detail for the fluid-implicit-particle method using ... -
Local and Hierarchical Refinement for Subdivision Gradient Meshes
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Gradient mesh design tools allow users to create detailed scalable images, traditionally through the creation and manipulation of a (dense) mesh with regular rectangular topology. Through recent advances it is now possible ... -
Localized Manifold Harmonics for Spectral Shape Analysis
(© 2018 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)The use of Laplacian eigenfunctions is ubiquitous in a wide range of computer graphics and geometry processing applications. In particular, Laplacian eigenbases allow generalizing the classical Fourier analysis to manifolds. ... -
Maps and Globes in Virtual Reality
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)This paper explores different ways to render world-wide geographic maps in virtual reality (VR). We compare: (a) a 3D exocentric globe, where the user's viewpoint is outside the globe; (b) a flat map (rendered to a plane ... -
MIQP-based Layout Design for Building Interiors
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)We propose a hierarchical framework for the generation of building interiors. Our solution is based on a mixed integer quadratic programming (MIQP) formulation. We parametrize a layout by polygons that are further decomposed ... -
Modeling Fonts in Context: Font Prediction on Web Designs
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Web designers often carefully select fonts to fit the context of a web design to make the design look aesthetically pleasing and effective in communication. However, selecting proper fonts for a web design is a tedious and ... -
Modular Latent Spaces for Shape Correspondences
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)We consider the problem of transporting shape descriptors across shapes in a collection in a modular fashion, in order to establish correspondences between them. A common goal when mapping between multiple shapes is ... -
