Rain Wiper: An Incremental RandomlyWired Network for Single Image Deraining
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)Single image rain removal is a challenging ill-posed problem due to various shapes and densities of rain streaks. We present a novel incremental randomly wired network (IRWN) for single image deraining. Different from ... -
Real-time Indirect Illumination of Emissive Inhomogeneous Volumes using Layered Polygonal Area Lights
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)Indirect illumination involving with visually rich participating media such as turbulent smoke and loud explosions contributes significantly to the appearances of other objects in a rendering scene. However, previous ... -
Reliable Rolling-guided Point Normal Filtering for Surface Texture Removal
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)Semantic surface decomposition (SSD) facilitates various geometry processing and product re-design tasks. Filter-based techniques are meaningful and widely used to achieve the SSD, which however often leads to surface ... -
A Rigging-Skinning Scheme to Control Fluid Simulation
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)Inspired by skeletal animation, a novel rigging-skinning flow control scheme is proposed to animate fluids intuitively and efficiently. The new animation pipeline creates fluid animation via two steps: fluid rigging and ... -
RodSteward: A Design-to-Assembly System for Fabrication using 3D-Printed Joints and Precision-Cut Rods
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)We present RodSteward, a design-to-assembly system for creating furniture-scale structures composed of 3D-printed joints and precision-cut rods. The RodSteward systems consists of: RSDesigner, a fabrication-aware design ... -
Scale-adaptive Structure-preserving Texture Filtering
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)This paper proposes a scale-adaptive filtering method to improve the performance of structure-preserving texture filtering for image smoothing. With classical texture filters, it usually is challenging to smooth texture ... -
Seamless Mipmap Filtering for Dual Paraboloid Maps
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)Dual paraboloid mapping is an approach for environment mapping. Its major advantage is its fast map generation speed. For graphics applications, when filtering is needed, the filtering tool would naturally be mipmapping. ... -
Selecting Texture Resolution Using a Task-specific Visibility Metric
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)In real-time rendering, the appearance of scenes is greatly affected by the quality and resolution of the textures used for image synthesis. At the same time, the size of textures determines the performance and the memory ... -
Shadow Inpainting and Removal Using Generative Adversarial Networks with Slice Convolutions
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)In this paper, we propose a two-stage top-down and bottom-up Generative Adversarial Networks (TBGANs) for shadow inpainting and removal which uses a novel top-down encoder and a bottom-up decoder with slice convolutions. ... -
ShutterApp: Spatio-temporal Exposure Control for Videos
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)A camera's shutter controls the incoming light that is reaching the camera sensor. Different shutters lead to wildly different results, and are often used as a tool in movies for artistic purpose, e.g., they can indirectly ... -
Single-View Modeling of Layered Origami with Plausible Outer Shape
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)Modeling 3D origami pieces using conventional software is laborious due to the geometric constraints imposed by the complicated layered structure. Targeting origami models used in visual content such as CG illustrations ... -
Specular Highlight Removal for Real-world Images
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)Removing specular highlight in an image is a fundamental research problem in computer vision and computer graphics. While various methods have been proposed, they typically do not work well for real-world images due to the ... -
A Stationary SVBRDF Material Modeling Method Based on Discrete Microsurface
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)Microfacet theory is commonly used to build reflectance models for surfaces. While traditional microfacet-based models assume that the distribution of a surface's microstructure is continuous, recent studies indicate that ... -
Style Mixer: Semantic-aware Multi-Style Transfer Network
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)Recent neural style transfer frameworks have obtained astonishing visual quality and flexibility in Single-style Transfer (SST), but little attention has been paid to Multi-style Transfer (MST) which refers to simultaneously ... -
Subdivision Schemes for Quadrilateral Meshes with the Least Polar Artifact in Extraordinary Regions
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)This paper presents subdivision schemes with subdivision stencils near an extraordinary vertex that are free from or with substantially reduced polar artifact in extraordinary regions while maintaining the best possible ... -
Succinct Palette and Color Model Generation and Manipulation Using Hierarchical Representation
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)We propose a new method to obtain the representative colors and their distributions of an image. Our intuition is that it is possible to derive the global model from the local distributions. Beginning by sampling pure ... -
Surface Fairing towards Regular Principal Curvature Line Networks
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)Freeform surfaces whose principal curvature line network is regularly distributed, are essential to many real applications like CAD modeling, architecture design, and industrial fabrication. However, most designed surfaces ... -
Topology Preserving Simplification of Medial Axes in 3D Models
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)We propose an efficient method for topology-preserving simplification of medial axes of 3D models. Existing methods either cannot preserve the topology during medial axes simplification or have the problem of being ... -
Towards Robust Direction Invariance in Character Animation
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)In character animation, direction invariance is a desirable property. That is, a pose facing north and the same pose facing south are considered the same; a character that can walk to the north is expected to be able to ... -
Two-phase Hair Image Synthesis by Self-Enhancing Generative Model
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)Generating plausible hair image given limited guidance, such as sparse sketches or low-resolution image, has been made possible with the rise of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). Traditional image-to-image translation ...
