    Image Representation on Curved Optimal Triangulation
    (© 2022 Eurographics ‐ The European Association for Computer Graphics and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2022) Xiao, Yanyang; Cao, Juan; Chen, Zhonggui; Hauser, Helwig and Alliez, Pierre
    Image triangulation aims to generate an optimal partition with triangular elements to represent the given image. One bottleneck in ensuring approximation quality between the original image and a piecewise approximation over the triangulation is the inaccurate alignment of straight edges to the curved features. In this paper, we propose a novel variational method called curved optimal triangulation, where not all edges are straight segments, but may also be quadratic Bézier curves. The energy function is defined as the total approximation error determined by vertex locations, connectivity and bending of edges. The gradient formulas of this function are derived explicitly in closed form to optimize the energy function efficiently. We test our method on several models to demonstrate its efficacy and ability in preserving features. We also explore its applications in the automatic generation of stylization and Lowpoly images. With the same number of vertices, our curved optimal triangulation method generates more accurate and visually pleasing results compared with previous methods that only use straight segments.

    Transition Motion Synthesis for Object Interaction based on Learning Transition Strategies
    (© 2022 Eurographics ‐ The European Association for Computer Graphics and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2022) Hwang, Jaepyung; Park, Gangrae; Kwon, Taesoo; Ishii, Shin; Hauser, Helwig and Alliez, Pierre
    In this study, we focus on developing a motion synthesis framework that generates a natural transition motion between two different behaviours to interact with a moving object. Specifically, the proposed framework generates the transition motion, bridging from a locomotive behaviour to an object interaction behaviour. And, the transition motion should adapt to the spatio‐temporal variation of the target object in an online manner, so as to naturally connect the behaviours. To solve this issue, we propose a framework that combines a regression model and a transition motion planner. The neural network‐based regression model estimates the reference transition strategy to guide the reference pattern of the transitioning, adapted to the varying situation. The transition motion planner reconstructs the transition motion based on the reference pattern while considering dynamic constraints that avoid the footskate and interaction constraints. The proposed framework is validated to synthesize various transition motions while adapting to the spatio‐temporal variation of the object by using object grasping motion, and athletic motions in soccer.

    SGLBP: Subgraph‐based Local Binary Patterns for Feature Extraction on Point Clouds
    (© 2022 Eurographics ‐ The European Association for Computer Graphics and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2022) Guo, Bao; Zhang, Yuhe; Gao, Jian; Li, Chunhui; Hu, Yao; Hauser, Helwig and Alliez, Pierre
    Extraction for points that can outline the shape of a point cloud is an important task for point cloud processing in various applications. The topology information of the neighbourhood of a point usually contains sufficient information for detecting features, which is fully considered in this study. Therefore, a novel method for extracting feature points based on the topology information is proposed. First, an improved ‐shape technique is introduced, generating two graphs for potential feature detection and neighbourhood description, respectively. Local binary pattern (LBP) is then applied to the subgraphs, thus subgraph‐based local binary patterns (SGLBPs) are generated for encoding the topology of the neighbourhoods of points, which helps to remove non‐feature points from potential feature points. The proposed method can directly process raw point clouds and needs no prior surface reconstruction or geometric invariants computation; furthermore, the proposed method detects feature points by analysing the topologies of the neighbourhoods of points, consequently promoting the effectiveness for tiny features and the robustness to noises and non‐uniformly sampling patterns. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is robust and achieves state‐of‐the‐art performance.

    Transforming an Adjacency Graph into Dimensioned Floorplan Layouts

    In recent times, researchers have proposed several approaches for building floorplans using parametric/generative design, shape grammars, machine learning, AI, . This paper aims to demonstrate a mathematical approach for the automated generation of floorplan layouts. Mathematical formulations warrant the fulfilment of all input user constraints, unlike the learning‐based methods present in the literature. Moreover, the algorithms illustrated in this paper are robust, scalable and highly efficient, generating thousands of floorplans in a few milliseconds.We present G2PLAN, a software based on graph‐theoretic and linear optimization techniques, that generates all topologically distinct floorplans with different boundary rooms in linear time for given adjacency and dimensional constraints. G2PLAN builds on the work of GPLAN and offers solutions to a wider range of adjacency relations (one‐connected, non‐triangulated graphs) and better dimensioning customizability. It also generates a catalogue of dimensionless as well as dimensioned floorplans satisfying user requirements.

    Quad‐fisheye Image Stitching for Monoscopic Panorama Reconstruction
    (© 2022 Eurographics ‐ The European Association for Computer Graphics and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2022) Cheng, Haojie; Xu, Chunxiao; Wang, Jiajun; Zhao, Lingxiao; Hauser, Helwig and Alliez, Pierre
    Monoscopic panorama provides the display of omnidirectional contents surrounding the viewer. An increasingly popular way to reconstruct a panorama is to stitch a collection of fisheye images. However, such non‐planar views may result in problems such as distortions and boundary irregularities. In most cases, the computational expense for stitching non‐planar images is also too high to satisfy real‐time applications. In this paper, a novel monoscopic panorama reconstruction pipeline that produces better quad‐fisheye image stitching results for omnidirectional environment viewing is proposed. The main idea is to apply mesh deformation for image alignment. To optimize inter‐lens parallaxes, unwarped images are firstly cropped and reshuffled to facilitate the circular environment scene composition by the seamless ring‐connection of the panorama borders. Several mesh constraints are then adopted to ensure a high alignment accuracy. After alignment, the boundary of the result is rectified to be rectangular to prevent gapping artefacts. We further extend our approach to video stitching. The temporal smoothness model is added to prevent unexpected artefacts in the panoramic videos. To support interactive applications, our stitching algorithm is programmed using CUDA. The camera motion and average gradient per video frame are further calculated to accelerate for synchronous real‐life panoramic scene reconstruction and visualization. Experimental results demonstrate that our method has advantages in respects of alignment accuracy, adaptability and image quality of the stitching result.

    SVBRDF Recovery from a Single Image with Highlights Using a Pre‐trained Generative Adversarial Network

    Spatially varying bi‐directional reflectance distribution functions (SVBRDFs) are crucial for designers to incorporate new materials in virtual scenes, making them look more realistic. Reconstruction of SVBRDFs is a long‐standing problem. Existing methods either rely on an extensive acquisition system or require huge datasets, which are non‐trivial to acquire. We aim to recover SVBRDFs from a single image, without any datasets. A single image contains incomplete information about the SVBRDF, making the reconstruction task highly ill‐posed. It is also difficult to separate between the changes in colour that are caused by the material and those caused by the illumination, without the prior knowledge learned from the dataset. In this paper, we use an unsupervised generative adversarial neural network (GAN) to recover SVBRDFs maps with a single image as input. To better separate the effects due to illumination from the effects due to the material, we add the hypothesis that the material is stationary and introduce a new loss function based on Fourier coefficients to enforce this stationarity. For efficiency, we train the network in two stages: reusing a trained model to initialize the SVBRDFs and fine‐tune it based on the input image. Our method generates high‐quality SVBRDFs maps from a single input photograph, and provides more vivid rendering results compared to the previous work. The two‐stage training boosts runtime performance, making it eight times faster than the previous work.

    Gaussian Process for Radiance Functions on the S2$\mathbb {S}^2$ Sphere
    (© 2022 Eurographics ‐ The European Association for Computer Graphics and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2022) Marques, R.; Bouville, C.; Bouatouch, K.; Hauser, Helwig and Alliez, Pierre
    Efficient approximation of incident radiance functions from a set of samples is still an open problem in physically based rendering. Indeed, most of the computing power required to synthesize a photo‐realistic image is devoted to collecting samples of the incident radiance function, which are necessary to provide an estimate of the rendering equation solution. Due to the large number of samples required to reach a high‐quality estimate, this process is usually tedious and can take up to several days. In this paper, we focus on the problem of approximation of incident radiance functions on the sphere. To this end, we resort to a Gaussian Process (GP), a highly flexible function modelling tool, which has received little attention in rendering. We make an extensive analysis of the application of GPs to incident radiance functions, addressing crucial issues such as robust hyperparameter learning, or selecting the covariance function which better suits incident radiance functions. Our analysis is both theoretical and experimental. Furthermore, it provides a seamless connection between the original spherical domain and the spectral domain, on which we build to derive a method for fast computation and rotation of spherical harmonics coefficients.

    Narrow‐Band Screen‐Space Fluid Rendering

    This paper presents a novel and practical screen‐space liquid rendering for particle‐based fluids for real‐time applications. Our rendering pipeline performs particle filtering only in a narrow‐band around the boundary particles to provide a smooth liquid surface with volumetric rendering effects. We also introduce a novel boundary detection method allowing the user to select particle layers from the liquid interface. The proposed approach is simple, fast, memory‐efficient, easy to code and it can be adapted straightforwardly in the standard screen‐space rendering methods, even in GPU architectures. We show through a set of experiments how the prior screen‐space techniques can be benefited and improved by our approach.

    CVFont: Synthesizing Chinese Vector Fonts via Deep Layout Inferring
    (© 2022 Eurographics ‐ The European Association for Computer Graphics and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2022) Lian, Zhouhui; Gao, Yichen; Hauser, Helwig and Alliez, Pierre
    Creating a high‐quality Chinese vector font library, which can be directly used in real applications is time‐consuming and costly, since the font library typically consists of large amounts of vector glyphs. To address this problem, we propose a data‐driven system in which only a small number (about 10%) of Chinese glyphs need to be designed. Specifically, the system first automatically decomposes those input glyphs into vector components. Then, a layout prediction module based on deep neural networks is applied to learn the layout style of input characters. Finally, proper components are selected to assemble the glyph of each unseen character based on the predicted layout to build the font library that can be directly used in computers and smart mobile devices. Experimental results demonstrate that our system synthesizes high‐quality glyphs and significantly enhances the producing efficiency of Chinese vector fonts.

    Error Analysis of Photometric Stereo with Near Quasi‐Point Lights
    (© 2022 Eurographics ‐ The European Association for Computer Graphics and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2022) Chen, Q.; Ren, Y.; Zhao, Z.; Tao, W.; Zhao, H.; Hauser, Helwig and Alliez, Pierre
    The shape recovery quality of photometric stereo is sensitive to complicated error factors under close range lighting of quasi‐point lights. However, the error performance of photometric stereo under this practical scenario is still obscure. This paper presents a comprehensive error analysis of photometric stereo with near quasi‐point lights (NQPL‐PS). Five main error factors are identified under this scenario and their corresponding analytical formulations are introduced. Statistic computation and experiments are used to validate the theoretical formulations and inspect the relationships between normal inaccuracies and each type of discrepancies. In addition, the impacts of multiple system parameters of an NQPL‐PS configuration on the normal estimation error are also studied. In order to evaluate the relative importance of various error factors, a probability‐based evaluation criterion is proposed, which focuses on the error performance over the state space and the error space, rather than the simple comparison of the values of normal inaccuracy. The assessment results show that the non‐uniformity of illuminants, and the calibration error in the position of light sources hold the dominant places among those five error factors. This paper provides insights for the accuracy improvement and system design of NQPL‐PS.

    Harmonics Virtual Lights: Fast Projection of Luminance Field on Spherical Harmonics for Efficient Rendering
    (© 2022 Eurographics ‐ The European Association for Computer Graphics and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2022) Mézières, Pierre; Desrichard, François; Vanderhaeghe, David; Paulin, Mathias; Hauser, Helwig and Alliez, Pierre
    In this paper, we introduce harmonics virtual lights (HVL), to model indirect light sources for interactive global illumination of dynamic 3D scenes. Virtual point lights (VPL) are an efficient approach to define indirect light sources and to evaluate the resulting indirect lighting. Nonetheless, VPL suffer from disturbing artefacts, especially with high‐frequency materials. Virtual spherical lights (VSL) avoid these artefacts by considering spheres instead of points but estimates the lighting integral using Monte‐Carlo which results to noise in the final image. We define HVL as an extension of VSL in a spherical harmonics (SH) framework, defining a closed form of the lighting integral evaluation. We propose an efficient SH projection of spherical lights contribution faster than existing methods. Computing the outgoing luminance requires operations when using materials with circular symmetric lobes, and operations for the general case, where is the number of SH bands. HVL can be used with either parametric or measured BRDF without extra cost and offers control over rendering time and image quality, by either decreasing or increasing the band limit used for SH projection. Our approach is particularly well‐designed to render medium‐frequency one‐bounce global illumination with arbitrary BRDF at an interactive frame rate.

    Delaunay Painting: Perceptual Image Colouring from Raster Contours with Gaps
    (© 2022 Eurographics ‐ The European Association for Computer Graphics and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2022) Parakkat, Amal Dev; Memari, Pooran; Cani, Marie‐Paule; Hauser, Helwig and Alliez, Pierre
    We introduce Delaunay Painting, a novel and easy‐to‐use method to flat‐colour contour‐sketches with gaps. Starting from a Delaunay triangulation of the input contours, triangles are iteratively filled with the appropriate colours, thanks to the dynamic update of flow values calculated from colour hints. Aesthetic finish is then achieved, through energy minimisation of contour‐curves and further heuristics enforcing the appropriate sharp corners. To be more efficient, the user can also make use of our colour diffusion framework, which automatically extends colouring to small, internal regions such as those delimited by hatches. The resulting method robustly handles input contours with strong gaps. As an interactive tool, it minimizes user's efforts and enables any colouring strategy, as the result does not depend on the order of interactions. We also provide an automatized version of the colouring strategy for quick segmentation of contours images, that we illustrate with applications to medical imaging and sketch segmentation.

    Fast Neural Representations for Direct Volume Rendering
    (© 2022 Eurographics ‐ The European Association for Computer Graphics and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2022) Weiss, S.; Hermüller, P.; Westermann, R.; Hauser, Helwig and Alliez, Pierre
    Despite the potential of neural scene representations to effectively compress 3D scalar fields at high reconstruction quality, the computational complexity of the training and data reconstruction step using scene representation networks limits their use in practical applications. In this paper, we analyse whether scene representation networks can be modified to reduce these limitations and whether such architectures can also be used for temporal reconstruction tasks. We propose a novel design of scene representation networks using GPU tensor cores to integrate the reconstruction seamlessly into on‐chip raytracing kernels, and compare the quality and performance of this network to alternative network‐ and non‐network‐based compression schemes. The results indicate competitive quality of our design at high compression rates, and significantly faster decoding times and lower memory consumption during data reconstruction. We investigate how density gradients can be computed using the network and show an extension where density, gradient and curvature are predicted jointly. As an alternative to spatial super‐resolution approaches for time‐varying fields, we propose a solution that builds upon latent‐space interpolation to enable random access reconstruction at arbitrary granularity. We summarize our findings in the form of an assessment of the strengths and limitations of scene representation networks for compression domain volume rendering, and outline future research directions.

    Currently, the methodological and technical developments in visual analytics, as well as the existing theories, are not sufficiently grounded by empirical studies that can provide an understanding of the processes of visual data analysis, analytical reasoning and derivation of new knowledge by humans. We conducted an exploratory empirical study in which participants analysed complex and data‐rich visualisations by detecting salient visual patterns, translating them into conceptual information structures and reasoning about those structures to construct an overall understanding of the analysis subject. Eye tracking and voice recording were used to capture this process. We analysed how the data we had collected match several existing theoretical models intended to describe visualisation‐supported reasoning, knowledge building, decision making or use and development of mental models. We found that none of these theoretical models alone is sufficient for describing the processes of visual analysis and knowledge generation that we observed in our experiments, whereas a combination of three particular models could be apposite. We also pondered whether empirical studies like ours can be used to derive implications and recommendations for possible ways to support users of visual analytics systems. Our approaches to designing and conducting the experiments and analysing the empirical data were appropriate to the goals of the study and can be recommended for use in other empirical studies in visual analytics.

    NeRF‐Tex: Neural Reflectance Field Textures

    We investigate the use of neural fields for modelling diverse mesoscale structures, such as fur, fabric and grass. Instead of using classical graphics primitives to model the structure, we propose to employ a versatile volumetric primitive represented by a neural field (NeRF‐Tex), which jointly models the geometry of the material and its response to lighting. The NeRF‐Tex primitive can be instantiated over a base mesh to ‘texture’ it with the desired meso and microscale appearance. We condition the reflectance field on user‐defined parameters that control the appearance. A single NeRF texture thus captures an entire space of reflectance fields rather than one specific structure. This increases the gamut of appearances that can be modelled and provides a solution for combating repetitive texturing artifacts. We also demonstrate that NeRF textures naturally facilitate continuous level‐of‐detail rendering. Our approach unites the versatility and modelling power of neural networks with the artistic control needed for precise modelling of virtual scenes. While all our training data are currently synthetic, our work provides a recipe that can be further extended to extract complex, hard‐to‐model appearances from real images.

    Event‐based Dynamic Graph Drawing without the Agonizing Pain

    Temporal networks can naturally model real‐world complex phenomena such as contact networks, information dissemination and physical proximity. However, nodes and edges bear real‐time coordinates, making it difficult to organize them into discrete timeslices, without a loss of temporal information due to projection. Event‐based dynamic graph drawing rejects the notion of a timeslice and allows each node and edge to retain its own real‐valued time coordinate. While existing work has demonstrated clear advantages for this approach, they come at a running time cost. We investigate the problem of accelerating event‐based layout to make it more competitive with existing layout techniques. In this paper, we describe the design, implementation and experimental evaluation of , the first multi‐level event‐based graph layout algorithm. We consider three operators for coarsening and placement, inspired by Walshaw, GRIP and FM, which we couple with an event‐based graph drawing algorithm. We also propose two extensions to the core algorithm: and . We perform two experiments: first, we compare variants to existing state‐of‐the‐art dynamic graph layout approaches; second, we investigate the impact of each of the proposed algorithm extensions. proves to be competitive with existing approaches, and the proposed extensions achieve their design goals and contribute in opening new research directions.

    Random Forests (RFs) are a machine learning (ML) technique widely used across industries. The interpretation of a given RF usually relies on the analysis of statistical values and is often only possible for data analytics experts. To make RFs accessible to experts with no data analytics background, we present RfX, a Visual Analytics (VA) system for the analysis of a RF's decision‐making process. RfX allows to interactively analyse the properties of a forest and to explore and compare multiple trees in a RF. Thus, its users can identify relationships within a RF's feature subspace and detect hidden patterns in the model's underlying data. We contribute a design study in collaboration with an automotive company. A formative evaluation of RFX was carried out with two domain experts and a summative evaluation in the form of a field study with five domain experts. In this context, new hidden patterns such as increased eccentricities in an engine's rotor by observing secondary excitations of its bearings were detected using analyses made with RfX. Rules derived from analyses with the system led to a change in the company's testing procedures for electrical engines, which resulted in 80% reduced testing time for over 30% of all components.

    We present an approach for visual analysis of high‐dimensional measurement data with varying sampling rates as routinely recorded in intensive care units. In intensive care, most assessments not only depend on one single measurement but a plethora of mixed measurements over time. Even for trained experts, efficient and accurate analysis of such multivariate data remains a challenging task. We present a linked‐view post hoc visual analytics application that reduces data complexity by combining projection‐based time curves for overview with small multiples for details on demand. Our approach supports not only the analysis of individual patients but also of ensembles by adapting existing techniques using non‐parametric statistics. We evaluated the effectiveness and acceptance of our approach through expert feedback with domain scientists from the surgical department using real‐world data: a post‐surgery study performed on a porcine surrogate model to identify parameters suitable for diagnosing and prognosticating the volume state, and clinical data from a public database. The results show that our approach allows for detailed analysis of changes in patient state while also summarizing the temporal development of the overall condition.

    In unsupervised video retargeting, content is transferred from one video to another while preserving the original appearance and style, without any additional annotations. While this challenge has seen substantial advancements through the use of deep neural networks, current methods struggle when the source and target videos are of shapes that are different in limb lengths or other body proportions. In this work, we consider this task for the case of objects of different shapes and appearances, that consist of similar skeleton connectivity and depict similar motion. We introduce JOKR—a JOint Keypoint Representation that captures the geometry common to both videos, while being disentangled from their unique styles. Our model first extracts unsupervised keypoints from the given videos. From this representation, two decoders reconstruct geometry and appearance, one for each of the input sequences. By employing an affine‐invariant domain confusion term over the keypoints bottleneck, we enforce the unsupervised keypoint representations of both videos to be indistinguishable. This encourages the aforementioned disentanglement between motion and appearance, mapping similar poses from both domains to the same representation. This allows yielding a sequence with the appearance and style of one video, but the content of the other. Our applicability is demonstrated through challenging video pairs compared to state‐of‐the‐art methods. Furthermore, we demonstrate that this geometry‐driven representation enables intuitive control, such as temporal coherence and manual pose editing. Videos can be viewed in the supplement HTML.

    Wide Gamut Moment‐based Constrained Spectral Uplifting
    (© 2022 Eurographics ‐ The European Association for Computer Graphics and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2022) Tódová, L.; Wilkie, A.; Fascione, L.; Hauser, Helwig and Alliez, Pierre
    Spectral rendering is increasingly used in appearance‐critical rendering workflows due to its ability to predict colour values under varying illuminants. However, directly modelling assets via input of spectral data is a tedious process: and if asset appearance is defined via artist‐created textures, these are drawn in colour space, i.e. RGB. Converting these RGB values to equivalent spectral representations is an ambiguous problem, for which robust techniques have been proposed only comparatively recently. However, other than the resulting RGB values matching under the illuminant the RGB space is defined for (usually D65), these uplifting techniques do not provide the user with further control over the resulting spectral shape. In a recent publication, we have proposed a method for constraining the spectral uplifting process so that for a finite number of input spectra that need to be preserved, it always yields the correct uplifted spectrum for the corresponding RGB value. We extend this previous work, which supported the sRGB gamut only, by describing a method that is able to constrain any spectrum from within the gamut of realisable reflectances. Due to constraints placed on the uplifting process, target RGB values that are in close proximity to one another uplift to spectra within the same metameric family, so that textures with colour variations can be meaningfully uplifted. Renderings uplifted via our method show minimal discrepancies when compared to the original objects.

    Reconstructing Recognizable 3D Face Shapes based on 3D Morphable Models

    Many recent works have reconstructed distinctive 3D face shapes by aggregating shape parameters of the same identity and separating those of different people based on parametric models (e.g. 3D morphable models (3DMMs)). However, despite the high accuracy in the face recognition task using these shape parameters, the visual discrimination of face shapes reconstructed from those parameters remains unsatisfactory. Previous works have not answered the following research question: Do discriminative shape parameters guarantee visual discrimination in represented 3D face shapes? This paper analyses the relationship between shape parameters and reconstructed shape geometry, and proposes a novel shape identity‐aware regularization (SIR) loss for shape parameters, aiming at increasing discriminability in both the shape parameter and shape geometry domains. Moreover, to cope with the lack of training data containing both landmark and identity annotations, we propose a network structure and an associated training strategy to leverage mixed data containing either identity or landmark labels. In addition, since face recognition accuracy does not mean the recognizability of reconstructed face shapes from the shape parameters, we propose the SIR metric to measure the discriminability of face shapes. We compare our method with existing methods in terms of the reconstruction error, visual discriminability, and face recognition accuracy of the shape parameters and SIR metric. Experimental results show that our method outperforms the state‐of‐the‐art methods. The code will be released at .

    Rigid Registration of Point Clouds Based on Partial Optimal Transport

    For rigid point cloud data registration, algorithms based on soft correspondences are more robust than the traditional ICP method and its variants. However, point clouds with severe outliers and missing data may lead to imprecise many‐to‐many correspondences and consequently inaccurate registration. In this study, we propose a point cloud registration algorithm based on partial optimal transport via a hard marginal constraint. The hard marginal constraint provides an explicit parameter to adjust the ratio of points that should be accurately matched, and helps avoid incorrect many‐to‐many correspondences. Experiments show that the proposed method achieves state‐of‐the‐art registration results when dealing with point clouds with significant amount of outliers and missing points (see ).

    We propose a deep reinforcement learning‐based solution for the 3D reconstruction of objects of complex topologies from a single RGB image. We use a template‐based approach. However, unlike previous template‐based methods, which are limited to the reconstruction of 3D objects of fixed topology, our approach learns simultaneously the geometry and topology of the target 3D shape in the input image. To this end, we propose a neural network that learns to deform a template to fit the geometry of the target object. Our key contribution is a novel reinforcement learning framework that enables the network to also learn how to adjust, using pruning operations, the topology of the template to best fit the topology of the target object. We train the network in a supervised manner using a loss function that enforces smoothness and penalizes long edges in order to ensure high visual plausibility of the reconstructed 3D meshes. We evaluate the proposed approach on standard benchmarks such as ShapeNet, and in‐the‐wild using unseen real‐world images. We show that the proposed approach outperforms the state‐of‐the‐art in terms of the visual quality of the reconstructed 3D meshes, and also generalizes well to out‐of‐category images.

    Non‐Isometric Shape Matching via Functional Maps on Landmark‐Adapted Bases

    We propose a principled approach for non‐isometric landmark‐preserving non‐rigid shape matching. Our method is based on the functional map framework, but rather than promoting isometries we focus on near‐conformal maps that preserve landmarks exactly. We achieve this, first, by introducing a novel landmark‐adapted basis using an intrinsic Dirichlet‐Steklov eigenproblem. Second, we establish the functional decomposition of conformal maps expressed in this basis. Finally, we formulate a conformally‐invariant energy that promotes high‐quality landmark‐preserving maps, and show how it can be optimized via a variant of the recently proposed ZoomOut method that we extend to our setting. Our method is descriptor‐free, efficient and robust to significant mesh variability. We evaluate our approach on a range of benchmark datasets and demonstrate state‐of‐the‐art performance on non‐isometric benchmarks and near state‐of‐the‐art performance on isometric ones.

    Simplification of 2D Polygonal Partitions via Point‐line Projective Duality, and Application to Urban Reconstruction

    We address the problem of simplifying two‐dimensional polygonal partitions that exhibit strong regularities. Such partitions are relevant for reconstructing urban scenes in a concise way. Preserving long linear structures spanning several partition cells motivates a point‐line projective duality approach in which points represent line intersections, and lines possibly carry multiple points. We propose a simplification algorithm that seeks a balance between the fidelity to the input partition, the enforcement of canonical relationships between lines (orthogonality or parallelism) and a low complexity output. Our methodology alternates continuous optimization by Riemannian gradient descent with combinatorial reduction, resulting in a progressive simplification scheme. Our experiments show that preserving canonical relationships helps gracefully degrade partitions of urban scenes, and yields more concise and regularity‐preserving meshes than common mesh‐based simplification approaches.

    Computing Schematic Layouts for Spatial Hypergraphs on Concentric Circles and Grids

    Set systems can be visualized in various ways. An important distinction between techniques is whether the elements have a spatial location that is to be used for the visualization; for example, the elements are cities on a map. Strictly adhering to such location may severely limit the visualization and force overlay, intersections and other forms of clutter. On the other hand, completely ignoring the spatial dimension omits information and may hide spatial patterns in the data. We study layouts for set systems (or hypergraphs) in which spatial locations are displaced onto concentric circles or a grid, to obtain schematic set visualizations. We investigate the tractability of the underlying algorithmic problems adopting different optimization criteria (e.g. crossings or bends) for the layout structure, also known as the support of the hypergraph. Furthermore, we describe a simulated‐annealing approach to heuristically optimize a combination of such criteria. Using this method in computational experiments, we explore the trade‐offs and dependencies between criteria for computing high‐quality schematic set visualizations.

    State of the Art in Computational Mould Design
    (© 2022 Eurographics ‐ The European Association for Computer Graphics and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2022) Alderighi, T.; Malomo, L.; Auzinger, T.; Bickel, B.; Cignoni, P.; Pietroni, N.; Hauser, Helwig and Alliez, Pierre
    Moulding refers to a set of manufacturing techniques in which a mould, usually a cavity or a solid frame, is used to shape a liquid or pliable material into an object of the desired shape. The popularity of moulding comes from its effectiveness, scalability and versatility in terms of employed materials. Its relevance as a fabrication process is demonstrated by the extensive literature covering different aspects related to mould design, from material flow simulation to the automation of mould geometry design. In this state‐of‐the‐art report, we provide an extensive review of the automatic methods for the design of moulds, focusing on contributions from a geometric perspective. We classify existing mould design methods based on their computational approach and the nature of their target moulding process. We summarize the relationships between computational approaches and moulding techniques, highlighting their strengths and limitations. Finally, we discuss potential future research directions.

    Evocube: A Genetic Labelling Framework for Polycube‐Maps

    Polycube‐maps are used as base‐complexes in various fields of computational geometry, including the generation of regular all‐hexahedral meshes free of internal singularities. However, the strict alignment constraints behind polycube‐based methods make their computation challenging for CAD models used in numerical simulation via finite element method (FEM). We propose a novel approach based on an evolutionary algorithm to robustly compute polycube‐maps in this context.We address the labelling problem, which aims to precompute polycube alignment by assigning one of the base axes to each boundary face on the input. Previous research has described ways to initialize and improve a labelling via greedy local fixes. However, such algorithms lack robustness and often converge to inaccurate solutions for complex geometries. Our proposed framework alleviates this issue by embedding labelling operations in an evolutionary heuristic, defining fitness, crossover, and mutations in the context of labelling optimization. We evaluate our method on a thousand smooth and CAD meshes, showing Evocube converges to accurate labellings on a wide range of shapes. The limitations of our method are also discussed thoroughly.

    Real‐Time FE Simulation for Large‐Scale Problems Using Precondition‐Based Contact Resolution and Isolated DOFs Constraints
    (© 2022 Eurographics ‐ The European Association for Computer Graphics and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2022) Zeng, Z.; Cotin, S.; Courtecuisse, H.; Hauser, Helwig and Alliez, Pierre
    This paper presents a fast method to compute large‐scale problems in real‐time finite element simulations in the presence of contact and friction. The approach uses a precondition‐based contact resolution that performs a Cholesky decomposition at low frequency. On exploiting the sparsity in assembled matrices, we propose a reduced and parallel computation scheme to address the expensive computation of the Schur‐complement arisen by detailed mesh and accurate contact response. An efficient GPU‐based solver is developed to parallelise the computation, making it possible to provide real‐time simulations in the presence of coupled constraints for contact and friction response. In addition, the pre‐conditioner is updated at low frequency, implying reuse of the factorised system. To benefit a further speedup, we propose a strategy to share the resolution information between consecutive time steps. We evaluate the performance of our method in different contact applications and compare it with typical approaches on CPU and GPU.

    Learning Human Viewpoint Preferences from Sparsely Annotated Models
    (© 2022 Eurographics ‐ The European Association for Computer Graphics and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2022) Hartwig, S.; Schelling, M.; Onzenoodt, C. v.; Vázquez, P.‐P.; Hermosilla, P.; Ropinski, T.; Hauser, Helwig and Alliez, Pierre
    View quality measures compute scores for given views and are used to determine an optimal view in viewpoint selection tasks. Unfortunately, despite the wide adoption of these measures, they are rather based on computational quantities, such as entropy, than human preferences. To instead tailor viewpoint measures towards humans, view quality measures need to be able to capture human viewpoint preferences. Therefore, we introduce a large‐scale crowdsourced data set, which contains 58 annotated viewpoints for 3220 ModelNet40 models. Based on this data, we derive a neural view quality measure abiding to human preferences. We further demonstrate that this view quality measure not only generalizes to models unseen during training, but also to unseen model categories. We are thus able to predict view qualities for single images, and directly predict human preferred viewpoints for 3D models by exploiting point‐based learning technology, without requiring to generate intermediate images or sampling the view sphere. We will detail our data collection procedure, describe the data analysis and model training and will evaluate the predictive quality of our trained viewpoint measure on unseen models and categories. To our knowledge, this is the first deep learning approach to predict a view quality measure solely based on human preferences.
