Adaptive Caustic Maps Using Deferred Shading
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009) -
An Analytical Solution to Single Scattering in Homogeneous Participating Media
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)Despite their numerous applications, efficiently rendering participating media remains a challenging task due to the intricacy of the radiative transport equation. As they provide a generic means of solving a wide variety ... -
Animating Pictures of Fluid using Video Examples
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)We propose a system that allows the user to design a continuous flow animation starting from a still fluid image. The basic idea is to apply the fluid motion extracted from a video example to the target image. The system ... -
Anisotropic Radiance-Cache Splatting for Efficiently Computing High-Quality Global Illumination with Lightcuts
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)Computing global illumination in complex scenes is even with todays computational power a demanding task. In this work we propose a novel irradiance caching scheme that combines the advantages of two state-of-the-art ... -
Arches: a Framework for Modeling Complex Terrains
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)In this paper, we present a framework for representing complex terrains with such features as overhangs, arches and caves and including different materials such as sand and rocks. Our hybrid model combines a volumetric ... -
Bidirectional Importance Sampling for Unstructured Direct Illumination
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)Recent research in bidirectional importance sampling has focused primarily on structured illumination sources such as distant environment maps, while unstructured illumination has received little attention. In this paper, ... -
Character Motion Synthesis by Topology Coordinates
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)In this paper, we propose a new method to efficiently synthesize character motions that involve close contacts such as wearing a T-shirt, passing the arms through the strings of a knapsack, or piggy-back carrying an injured ... -
Color correction for tone mapping
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)Tone mapping algorithms offer sophisticated methods for mapping a real-world luminance range to the luminance range of the output medium but they often cause changes in color appearance. In this work we conduct a series ... -
Completion and Reconstruction with Primitive Shapes
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)We consider the problem of reconstruction from incomplete point-clouds. To find a closed mesh the reconstruction is guided by a set of primitive shapes which has been detected on the input point-cloud (e.g. planes, cylinders ... -
Complex Barycentric Coordinates with Applications to Planar Shape Deformation
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009) -
Compressive Dual Photography
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)The accurate measurement of the light transport characteristics of a complex scene is an important goal in computer graphics and has applications in relighting and dual photography. However, since the light transport data ... -
Continuum-based Strain Limiting
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)We present Continuum-based Strain Limiting (CSL) - a new method for limiting deformations in physically-based cloth simulations. Despite recent developments for nearly inextensible materials, the efficient simulation of ... -
Deblurring by Matching
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)Restoration of the photographs damaged by the camera shake is a challenging task that manifested increasing attention in the recent period. Despite of the important progress of the blind deconvolution techniques, due to ... -
Detecting Symmetries and Curvilinear Arrangements in Vector Art
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)Understanding symmetries and arrangements in existing content is the first step towards providing higher level content aware editing capabilities. Such capabilities may include edits that both preserve existing structure ... -
Dominant Texture and Diffusion Distance Manifolds
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)Texture synthesis techniques require nearly uniform texture samples, however identifying suitable texture samples in an image requires significant data preprocessing. To eliminate this work, we introduce a fully automatic ... -
Energy Aware Color Sets
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)We present a design technique for colors with the purpose of lowering the energy consumption of the display device. Our approach is based on a screen space variant energy model. The result of our design is a set of ... -
Example-Based Rendering of Eye Movements
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)This paper describes a model for example-based, photo-realistic rendering of eye movements in 3D facial animation. Based on 3D scans of a face with different gaze directions, the model captures the motion of the eyeball ... -
Fast BVH Construction on GPUs
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)We present two novel parallel algorithms for rapidly constructing bounding volume hierarchies on manycore GPUs. The first uses a linear ordering derived from spatial Morton codes to build hierarchies extremely quickly and ... -
Fast GPU-based Adaptive Tessellation with CUDA
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)Compact surface descriptions like higher-order surfaces are popular representations for both modeling and animation. However, for fast graphics-hardware-assisted rendering, they usually need to be converted to triangle ... -
Feature Preserving Point Set Surfaces based on Non-Linear Kernel Regression
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)Moving least squares (MLS) is a very attractive tool to design effective meshless surface representations. However, as long as approximations are performed in a least square sense, the resulting definitions remain sensitive ...
