    • Improving BVH Ray Tracing Speed Using the AVX Instruction Set 

      Áfra, Attila T. (The Eurographics Association, 2011)
      High performance ray tracing on the CPU requires the efficient utilization of SIMD instructions. Ray packet and ray stream traversal algorithms achieve this by performing computations on multiple rays, nodes, or primitives ...

    • Visualising Semantic Pathways in Document Collections 

      Rowland, C.; Anderson, J. (The Eurographics Association, 2011)
      In this paper we discuss our investigation of the potential uses of animation and visualisation techniques for exploring unstructured text-based data. We reflect upon a design methodology that is rooted in art and design ...

    • The Langweil Model of Prague - a Challenge for State-of-the-art 3D Reconstruction Techniques 

      Sedlacek, D.; Zara, J. (The Eurographics Association, 2011)
      The challenges for current state-of-the-art 3D reconstruction algorithms covered in the Langweil model of Prague data set are summarized in this poster. The model properties are presented together with problems which bring.

    • Concept of Skeleton Texture Mapping 

      Madaras, Martin (The Eurographics Association, 2011)
      This article introduces an idea for novel way of mapping textures onto a surface of 3D model. Our technique is based on two interlocking mappings, the first one maps surface vertices onto computed skeleton and the second ...

    • Procedural Generation of Infinite Cities 

      Danihelka, Jiri; Zara, Jiri (The Eurographics Association, 2011)
      We present a novel technique for generation of pseudo-random infinite cities in a real-time. The generated cities can have arbitrarily oriented streets and building blocks can be arbitrarily shaped. The shapes of city ...

    • Design and Implementation of a System for Interactive Higher Dimensional Vector Field Visualization 

      Peng, Zhenmin; Geng, Zhao; Laramee, Robert S. (The Eurographics Association, 2011)
      Although the challenge of 2D flow visualization is deemed virtually solved as a result of the tremendous amount of effort invested into this problem, higher-dimensional flow visualization, (e.g. the visualization of flow ...

    • Application of Active Appearance Model to Automatic Face Replacement 

      Govindaraj, Dinesh (The Eurographics Association, 2011)
      Active appearance models (AAM) are statistical model for capturing shape as well as appearance of deformable objects like human face. The power of AAM lies in the fact that it can synthesis or explain any given object shape ...

    • Methodologies for Connected Structured Idealized Ice Crystal Growth Models 

      El-Alem, Yousef; Roberts, Jonathan C. (The Eurographics Association, 2011)
