    • Exploring Frame Gestures for Fluid Freehand Sketching 

      Nijboer, Menno; Gerl, Moritz; Isenberg, Tobias (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      In this paper, we explore a minimalistic, gesture-based interface for fluid freehand concept sketching with vector graphics. Our approach leverages the advantages of both the GUI and gestural interface paradigms. We describe ...
    • Exploring Usability and Learnability of Mode Inferencing in Pen/Tablet Interfaces 

      Negulescu, Matei; Ruiz, Jaime; Lank, Edward (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      The inferred mode protocol uses contextual reasoning and local mediators to eliminate the need to access specific modes to perform draw, select, move and delete operations in a sketch interface. In this paper, we describe ...
    • Feature Extraction and Classifier Combination for Image-based Sketch Recognition 

      Tumen, R. Sinan; Acer, M. Emre; Sezgin, T. Metin (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      Image-based approaches to sketch recognition typically cast sketch recognition as a machine learning problem. In systems that adopt image-based recognition, the collected ink is generally fed through a standard three stage ...
    • Folding Avoidance in Skeletal Strokes 

      Asente, Paul J. (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      Skeletal strokes is a method for mapping vector artwork defined along a straight path onto an arbitrary destination path. It is commonly used to give sketches a hand-drawn look, by mapping a scanned natural-medium stroke ...
    • Inkus: A Freehand Method of Creating Business Process Models 

      Mangano, Nicolas; Sukaviriya, Noi (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      Business process modeling has become an industry wide practice for business transformation consulting. Tools that support business process modeling are designed for experienced users to draw a process with precision and ...
    • Investigating the Learnability of Immersive Free-Hand Sketching 

      Wiese, Eva; Israel, Johann Habakuk; Meyer, Achim; Bongartz, Sara (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      Immersive modeling systems which allow for sketching and constructing three-dimensional product models receive growing interest from both academic research and industry [DBWB*00; FASM02; IWMS09; KAMD*08; KAML*01]. The ...
    • Modeling 2.5D Plants from Ink Paintings 

      Amati, Cristina; Brostow, Gabriel J. (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      Chinese ink painting, known as sumi-e, is a traditional art form based on careful placement of expressive brush strokes. To extend such brush strokes from their paper form, we propose a system that can digitize and transform ...
    • Modeling-in-Context: User Design of Complementary Objects with a Single Photo 

      Lau, Manfred; Saul, Greg; Mitani, Jun; Igarashi, Takeo (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      The products that we use everyday are typically designed and produced for mass consumption. However, it is difficult for such products to satisfy the needs of individual users. We present a framework that allows the end-user ...
    • A Pen-Based Tool for Visualizing Vector Mathematics 

      Bott, Jared N.; Jr., Joseph J. LaViola (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      We present VectorPad, a novel, pen-based application for three-dimensional vector mathematics visualization. VectorPad allows users to define vectors and perform mathematical operations on them through the recognition of ...
    • The Power of Automatic Feature Selection: Rubine on Steroids 

      Blagojevic, Rachel; Chang, Samuel Hsiao-Heng; Plimmer, Beryl (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      Digital ink features drive recognition engines. Intuitively, we understand that particular features are of more value for some problems than others. Likewise, inclusion of poor features may be detrimental to recognition ...
    • Rata.SSR: Data Mining for Pertinent Stroke Recognizers 

      Chang, Samuel Hsiao-Heng; Plimmer, Beryl; Blagojevic, Rachel (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      While many approaches to digital ink recognition have been proposed, most lack flexibility and adaptability to provide acceptable recognition rates across a variety of problem spaces. Time and expert knowledge are required ...
    • Shape Modeling with Sketched Feature Lines in Immersive 3D Environments 

      Perkunder, Helen; Israel, Johann Habakuk; Alexa, Marc (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      In this paper we address the question whether automatic shape creation using sketched strokes as input in an immersive 3D environment supports the sketching process in early phases of product design. To investigate this ...
    • Sketch-Based Modeling of Vascular Systems: a First Step Towards Interactive Teaching of Anatomy 

      Pihuit, Adeline; Cani, Marie-Paule; Palombi, Olivier (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      We present a sketch-based modeling system, inspired from anatomical drawing, which constructs plausible 3D models of branching vessels from a single sketch. The input drawing typically includes non-flat silhouettes and ...
    • Sketch-Based Recognition System for General Articulated Skeletal Figures 

      Zamora, Shane; Sherwood, Timothy (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      We present a new recognition system for detecting general articulated skeletal figures in sketch-based applications. We abstract drawing style from recognition by defining figures using two data models: templates and figure ...
    • A Sketching Interface for Sitting-Pose Design 

      Lin, Juncong; Igarashi, Takeo; Mitani, Jun; Saul, Greg (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      We present a sketch interface for interactively placing a 3D human character in a sitting position on a chair. The user first sketches the target pose as a 2D stick figure. The user can specify whether a joint will be ...
    • Sketching Variational Hermite-RBF Implicits 

      Brazil, Emilio Vital; Macedo, Ives; Sousa, Mario Costa; Figueiredo, Luiz Henrique de; Velho, Luiz (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      We present techniques for modeling Variational Hermite Radial Basis Function (VHRBF) Implicits using a set of sketch-based interface and modeling (SBIM) operators. VHRBF Implicits is a simple and compact representation ...
    • Stroke Extraction and Classification for Mesh Inflation 

      Olsen, Luke; Samavati, Faramarz F. (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      We provide a method for extracting and classifying stroke segments from a line drawing or sketch with the goal of producing perceptually-valid output in the context of mesh inflation. This is important as processing freehand ...
