      Roesch, Isabelle; Günther, Tobias (The Eurographics Association, 2017)
      Recurrent neural networks are prime candidates for learning relationships and evolutions in multi-dimensional time series data. The performance of such a network is judged by the loss function, which is aggregated into a ...
    • Compression of Non-Manifold Polygonal Meshes Revisited 

      Buelow, Max von; Guthe, Stefan; Goesele, Michael (The Eurographics Association, 2017)
      Polygonal meshes are used in various fields ranging from CAD to gaming and web based applications. Reducing the size required for storing and transmitting these meshes by taking advantage of redundancies is an important ...
    • LiteMaker: Interactive Luminaire Development using Progressive Photon Tracing and Multi-Resolution Upsampling 

      Krösl, Katharina; Luksch, Christian; Schwärzler, Michael; Wimmer, Michael (The Eurographics Association, 2017)
      Industrial applications like luminaire development (the creation of a luminaire in terms of geometry and material) or lighting design (the efficient and aesthetic placement of luminaires in a virtual scene) rely heavily ...
    • Star Convex Cuts with Encoding Swaps for Fast Whole-Spine Vertebrae Segmentation in MRI 

      Rak, Marko; Tönnies, Klaus D. (The Eurographics Association, 2017)
      We propose an automatic approach for fast vertebral body segmentation in three-dimensional magnetic resonance images of the whole spine. Previous works are limited to the lower thoracolumbar section and often take minutes ...
    • Pixel Cache Light Tracing 

      Jendersie, Johannes; Rohmer, Kai; Brüll, Felix; Grosch, Thorsten (The Eurographics Association, 2017)
      In this paper, we introduce Pixel Cache Light Tracing, which is a new low-noise combination of eye-path and light-path tracing. In the first pass, eye-path vertices are distributed from the observer and stored in a hit ...
    • Dense and Scalable Reconstruction from Unstructured Videos with Occlusions 

      Wei, Jian; Resch, Benjamin; Lensch, Hendrik P. A. (The Eurographics Association, 2017)
      Depth-map-based multi-view stereo algorithms typically recover textureless surfaces by assuming smoothness per view, so they require processing different views to solve occlusions. Moreover, the highly redundant viewpoints ...
    • Structure-aware Stylization of Mountainous Terrains 

      Kratt, Julian; Eisenkeil, Ferdinand; Spicker, Marc; Wang, Yunhai; Weiskopf, Daniel; Deussen, Oliver (The Eurographics Association, 2017)
      We present a method for the stylization of mountainous terrains that allows creating abstract representations in different rendering styles. Our method consists of two major components: structure-aware terrain filtering ...
    • Interactive Visualization of Gaps and Overlaps for Large and Dynamic Sphere Packings 

      Gu, Feng; Yang, Zhixing; Kolonko, Michael; Grosch, Thorsten (The Eurographics Association, 2017)
      To gain insight into many properties of granular matter, a particle packing can be simulated. For a dry particle mixture, collective rearrangement is often used as an iterative process to place the particles. In this paper, ...
