The following paper describes a new approach for the automatic segmentation and tissue classification of anatomical objects such as brain tumors from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data sets using artificial neural ...

We present several techniques for producing two visual and modeling effects in augmented reality. The first effect involves interactively calculating the occlusions between real and virtual objects. The second effect ...

Generative image modeling techniques such as GAN demonstrate highly convincing image generation result. However, user interaction is often necessary to obtain desired results. Existing attempts add interactivity but require ...

With the tremendous advances in both hardware capabilities and rendering algorithms, rendering performance is steadily increasing. Even consumer graphics hardware can render many million triangles per second. However, scene ...

We propose an efficient method to model paper tearing in the context of interactive modeling. The method uses geometrical information to automatically detect potential starting points of tears. We further introduce a new ...

The choice of parameters for procedural textures to achieve a desired appearance poses a challenging problem even for experienced artists. We propose a method to automatically determine such parameters to reproduce the ...

Particle-based simulation methods are used to model a wide range of complex phenomena and to solve timedependent problems of various scales. Effective visualizations of the resulting state will communicate subtle changes ...

We present a new perceptual rendering pipeline which takes into account visual masking due to contrast and spatial frequency. Our framework predicts inter-object, scene-level masking caused by partial occlusion and shadows. ...

In this paper we propose a parallelization of interactive physical simulations. Our approach relies on a task parallelism where the code is instrumented to mark tasks and shared data between tasks, as well as parallel loops ...

This thesis covers interactive physically based simulation for applications such as computer games or virtual environments. Interactivity, i.e., the option that a user can influence a system, imposes challenging ...
