Facial animation is a time‐consuming and cumbersome task that requires years of experience and/or a complex and expensive set‐up. This becomes an issue, especially when animating the multitude of secondary characters ...

We present Easy Mesh Cutting, an intuitive and easy-to-use mesh cutout tool. Users can cut meaningful components from meshes by simply drawing freehand sketches on the mesh. Our system provides instant visual feedback to ...

This paper presents a novel, highly distinctive and robust local surface feature descriptor. Our descriptor is predicated on a simple observation: instead of describing the points in the vicinity of a feature point relative ...

For economic raster graphics equipment capable of the display of high resolution dynamic pictures of 3-D solids, 3-D wire frames, and 2-D wire frames - in decreasing order of stringency, the design of the pixel memory ...

Systems allowing the creation and manipulation of graphical information (so-called Graphic Editors) have become essential in various fields of applications. At the same time the typical user of such a system has changed. ...

We propose a relational scheme for representing and modelling regular objects, which is based on the adjacency relations between faces and edges. In this structure, called edge-face graph, the nodes represent the faces and ...

In this paper we extend the edge-avoiding à-trous wavelet transform for local contrast enhancement while avoiding common artifacts such as halos and gradient reversals. We show that this algorithm is a highly efficient and ...

This study aims to develop a controller for use in the online simulation of two interacting characters. This controller is capable of generalizing two sets of interaction motions of the two characters based on the relationships ...

While there are various commercial-strength editing tools available today for still images, object-based manipulation of real-world video footage is still a challenging problem. In this system paper, we present a framework ...
