We present Quick$ (QuickBuck), an extension to the Dollar Recognizer designed to improve recognition efficiency. While the Dollar Recognizer must search all training templates to recognize an unknown symbol, Quick$ employs ...

To create traffic simulations of high visual-fidelity, each road needs to be designed and modelled in great detail to conform with the governing rules and regulations of highway design. Roads could be created manually, but ...

We propose a method that allows geometric operations such as view change, deformation, simulation, or symmetrization on a single off-line sketch via a proxy geometry reconstructed directly from the sketch. The reconstruction ...

We present a new 3D surface modeling method that enables a rapid creation and modification of globally smooth surfaces from curve networks. The key feature of the proposed method is that it assumes the sketched curve ...

This paper presents a new sketch modeling system that is able to generate complex objects drawn from a unique viewpoint. The user draws the model in an iterative manner, adding simple parts to the existing object until ...

Finding an effective control interface to manipulate complex eometric objects has traditionally relied on experienced users to place the animation controls. This process, whether for key framed or for motion captured ...

We apply traditional bimanual curve modeling using French curves to the problem of automatic neatening of sketched strokes. Given a sketched input stroke and a set of template French curves we present an approach that fits ...

Technology has been largely employed in the modern education system but rarely fosters natural communication between the human and the machine. We wish to explore the use of sketch recognition based software as a medium ...

We present a technique that enables continuous recognition and visualization of pen strokes and touch-screen gestures. We describe an incremental recognition algorithm that provides probability distributions over template ...

We introduce a novel workflow for stereoscopic 2D to 3D conversion in which the user “paints” depth onto a 2D image via sparse scribbles, instantaneously receiving intuitive 3D feedback. This workflow is enabled by the ...
