Efficient Evaluation of Semi-Smooth Creases in Catmull-Clark Subdivision Surfaces
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)We present a novel method to evaluate semi-smooth creases in Catmull-Clark subdivision surfaces. Our algorithm supports both integer and fractional crease tags corresponding to the RenderMan (Pixar) specification. In order ... -
Example-based Road Network Synthesis
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)We present a novel method for automatically synthesizing road networks that are perceptually similar to given example road networks. Our algorithm can grow a new road network from an initial node or expand an existing ... -
Fast Response and Quick Progressive Transitions using Body Part Motion Graphs
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Interactive applications where 3D character animation plays an important role need avatars ready to perform different activities. This objective has been accomplished in different works [LCR*02] [ZS09] that look for ... -
Forward+: Bringing Deferred Lighting to the Next Level
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)This paper presents Forward+, a method of rendering many lights by culling and storing only lights that contribute to the pixel. Forward+ is an extension to traditional forward rendering. Light culling, implemented using ... -
FTLE Computation Beyond First-Order Approximation
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)We present a framework for different approaches to finite-time Lyapunov exponent (FTLE) computation for 2D vector fields, based on the advection of seeding circles. On the one hand it unifies the popular flow map approach ... -
Geometric Details on Skeleton-based Implicit Surfaces
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)We present a modeling technique to enhance implicit surfaces with procedural geometric details. The details are based on Gabor noise, which enables us to seamlessly handle anisotropy. The orientation of details can be ... -
GPU based ARAP Deformation using Volumetric Lattices
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)We present a novel lattice based direct manipulation paradigm (LARAP) for mesh editing that decouples the runtime complexity from the mesh’s geometric complexity. Since our non-linear optimization is based on the ARAP ... -
Growing Cell Structures Learning a Progressive Mesh During Surface Reconstruction - A Top-Down Approach
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Growing Cell Structures (GCS) have been proven to be suitable for surface reconstruction from unstructured point clouds. The reconstructed triangle mesh can be represented compactly as a progressive mesh with integrated ... -
Hybrid CPU/GPU KD-Tree Construction for Versatile Ray Tracing
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)We propose an hybrid CPU-GPU ray-tracing implementation based on an optimal Kd-Tree as acceleration structure. The construction and traversal of this KD-tree takes benefit from both the CPU and the GPU to achieve ... -
Hyperplane Culling for Stochastic Rasterization
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)We present two novel culling tests for rasterization of simultaneous depth of field and motion blur. These tests efficiently reduce the set of xyuvt samples that need to be coverage tested within a screen space tile. The ... -
Image-based Animation of Clothes
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)We propose a pose-dependent image-based rendering approach for the visualization of clothes with very high rendering quality. Our representation combines body-pose-dependent geometry and appearance. A geometric model ... -
Improved Obstacle Relevancy, Distance, and Angle for Crowds Constrained to Arbitrary Manifolds in 3D Space
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Recent work has proposed crowd simulation algorithms on arbitrary manifolds in 3D space. These algorithms simulate crowds on far more realistic surfaces than previously possible, including multi-story structures, science ... -
Incoherent Ray Tracing without Acceleration Structures
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Recently, a new family of dynamic ray tracing algorithms, called divide-and-conquer ray tracing, has been introduced. This approach partitions the primitives on-the-fly during ray traversal, which eliminates the need for ... -
Perceptually Based Afterimage Synthesis
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Afterimages comprise a common, recurring perceptual phenomenon experienced in a daily-basis. Afterimages are best realized when staring at some high intensity light source (i.e., a light bulb) and then shifting the ocular ... -
Physically-Based Depth of Field in Augmented Reality
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)We present a novel method for rendering and compositing video in augmented reality. We focus on calculating the physically correct result of the depth of field caused by a lens with finite sized aperture. In order to ... -
Real-Time Metaball Ray Casting with Fragment Lists
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)In this paper we describe a method for rendering particle-based medium representations. The algorithm builds per-pixel lists of relevant metaballs, then incrementally constructs a piecewise polynomial approximation of ... -
Reflective Shadow Map Clustering for Real-Time Global Illumination
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)We present a method for real-time clustering of VPLs obtained from Reflective Shadow Maps (RSM). The clusters are treated as area light sources and used to approximate indirect illumination. The spatial extent of a cluster ... -
Robust Outlier Removal from Point Clouds Acquired with Structured Light
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)We present a method for automatic, robust identification of outliers in point clouds acquired with structured light. In contrast to most state of the art methods, we consider available 2D information instead of operating ... -
S-buffer: Sparsity-aware Multi-fragment Rendering
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)This work introduces S-buffer, an efficient and memory-friendly gpu-accelerated A-buffer architecture for multifragment rendering. Memory is organized into variable contiguous regions for each pixel, thus avoiding limitations ... -
Scented Sliders for Procedural Textures
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Procedural textures often expose a set of parameters controlling their final appearance. This lets end users tune the final look and feel, typically through a set of sliders. However, it is difficult to predict the changes ...
