    • 3D-dvshop: a 3D Dynamic Virtual Shop 

      Sann, A.; Montrucchio, B.; Montuschi, P.; Demartini, C. (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      In recent years, virtual rality has shown all its potential in a large spectrum of applications: training, simulation, CAD, and so on. Although existing technologies allow the creation of immersive virtual reality browsing ...

    • Abstractions in Multimedia Authoring: The MAVA Approach 

      Hauser, Juergen; Tian, Jing (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      The support of abstractions in authoring systems increases the efficiency of the specification of multimedia documents. Authoring based on a very low abstraction, for example script programming, is very complex and time ...

    • Adaptive Visualization of Distributed 3D Documents Using Image Streaming Techniques 

      Loeffler, Jobst; Fellner, Dieter W. (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      With the emergence of open information spaces such as digital libraries, advanced techniques for interactive visualization of complex and protected 3D documents are needed. This paper presents a new visualization concept ...

    • Authentication of Volume Data Using Wavelet-Based Foveation 

      Kankanhalli, M. S.; Chang, E.-C.; Guan, X.; Huang, Z.; Wu, Y. (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      3D volume data has been increasingly used in many appli- cations. The digital nature of the data allows easy creation, copying and distribution. However, it also allows ease of manipulation which can enable wilful or ...

    • Buoy Indexing of Metric Feature Spaces for Fast Approximate Image Queries 

      Volmer, Stephan (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      A novel indexing scheme for solving the problem of nearest neighbor queries in generic metric feature spaces for content-based image retrieval is proposed to break the 'dimensionality curse.' The basis for the proposed ...

    • Content Based Retrieval of VRML Objects - An Iterative and Interactive Approach 

      Elad, Michael; Tal, Ayellet; Ar, Sigal (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      We examine the problem of searching a database of three-dimensional objects (given in VRML) for objects similar to a given object. We introduce an algorithm which is both iterative and interactive. Rather than base the ...

    • DynaVideo - A Dynamic Video Distribution Service 

      Leite, Luiz Eduardo; Alves, Renata; Lemos, Guido; Batista, Thais (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      Most solutions proposed to implement audio and video distribution services have been designed for specific infrastructures or have been tailored to specific application requirements, such as stream and clients types which ...

    • Effective Exercise Instruction System Using Virtual Human 

      Itami, Yoshikazu; Yoshida, Norimasa; Kitajima, Katsuhiro (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      This study aims at developing an aerobics exercise instruction software for personal use by introducing an instruction program best fit to the physical conditions of respective exerciser. The software uses the combination ...

    • Extended Format Definition and Quality-driven Format Negotiation in Multimedia Systems 

      Lohse, Marcos; Slusallek, Philipp; Wambach, Patrick (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      Multimedia middleware needs to support a wide variety of devices together with their respective data formats. This becomes increasingly relevant and difficult in a distributed environment where new devices and formats ...

    • Interactive, Evolutionary Textured Sound Composition 

      Fels, Sidney; Manzolli, Jonatas (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      We describe a system that maps the interaction between two people to control a genetic process for generating music. We start with a population of melodies encoded genetically. This population is allowed to breed every ...

    • LIVE@WEB.COM Using CBIR Technology in InteractiveWeb-TV 

      Morsdorf, Felix; Volmer, Stephan (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      The increasing amount of internet based television broadcasts has lead to new approachs to interactivity in TV programs. We developed a system which is able to supply the viewer of the program upon interaction with information ...

    • Non-Conventional Interfaces using Stamp Controllers 

      Mallinder, Hugh; Jones, Huw (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      Artists continue to search for new methods of creation of artworks. The trend to interactive multimedia installation work requires systems that allow participants to interact in subtle ways. The paper describes a number ...

    • Realising Real Time Multimedia Groupware on the Web 

      Allison, Colin; Bateman, Martin; Ruddle, Alan (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      Real-time audio and video conferencing has not yet been satisfactorily integrated into web-based groupware environments. Conferencing tools are at best only loosely linked to other parts of a shared working environment. ...

    • Reusing Motions and Models in Animations 

      Huang, Akanksha Z.; Prabhakaran, B.; Ruiz, C. R.; Jr., (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
