      Lambert, Thibaud; Bénard, Pierre; Guennebaud, Gaël (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
      Hardware tessellation is de facto the preferred mechanism to adaptively control mesh resolution with maximal performances. However, owing to its fixed and uniform pattern, leveraging tessellation for feature-aware LOD ...
    • A Multi-sided Bézier Patch with a Simple Control Structure

      A new n-sided surface scheme is presented, that generalizes tensor product Bézier patches. Boundaries and corresponding crossderivatives are specified as conventional Bézier surfaces of arbitrary degrees. The surface is ...
    • Multisampling Compressive Video Spectroscopy 

      Jeon, Daniel S.; Choi, Inchang; Kim, Min H. (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
      The coded aperture snapshot spectral imaging (CASSI) architecture has been employed widely for capturing hyperspectral video. Despite allowing concurrent capture of hyperspectral video, spatial modulation in CASSI sacrifices ...
    • Narrow Band FLIP for Liquid Simulations 

      Ferstl, Florian; Ando, Ryoichi; Wojtan, Chris; Westermann, Rüdiger; Thuerey, Nils (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
      The Fluid Implicit Particle method (FLIP) for liquid simulations uses particles to reduce numerical dissipation and provide important visual cues for events like complex splashes and small-scale features near the liquid ...
    • Near-Instant Capture of High-Resolution Facial Geometry and Reflectance 

      Fyffe, Graham; Graham, Paul; Tunwattanapong, Borom; Ghosh, Abhijeet; Debevec, Paul (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
      We present a near-instant method for acquiring facial geometry and reflectance using a set of commodity DSLR cameras and flashes. Our setup consists of twenty-four cameras and six flashes which are fired in rapid succession ...
    • An Objective Deghosting Quality Metric for HDR Images 

      Tursun, Okan Tarhan; Akyüz, Ahmet Oğuz; Erdem, Aykut; Erdem, Erkut (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
      Reconstructing high dynamic range (HDR) images of a complex scene involving moving objects and dynamic backgrounds is prone to artifacts. A large number of methods have been proposed that attempt to alleviate these artifacts, ...
    • A Practical and Controllable Hair and Fur Model for Production Path Tracing 

      Chiang, Matt Jen-Yuan; Bitterli, Benedikt; Tappan, Chuck; Burley, Brent (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
      We present an energy-conserving fiber shading model for hair and fur that is efficient enough for path tracing. Our model adopts a near-field formulation to avoid the expensive integral across the fiber, accounts for all ...
    • A Practical Method for High-Resolution Embedded Liquid Surfaces 

      Goldade, Ryan; Batty, Christopher; Wojtan, Chris (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
      Combining high-resolution level set surface tracking with lower resolution physics is an inexpensive method for achieving highly detailed liquid animations. Unfortunately, the inherent resolution mismatch introduces several ...
