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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

We present an image-based reconstruction approach for mobile, multitouch enabled devices. A novel scene description based on a multi-agent system is used to allow a real-time reconstruction workflow even on devices with ...

Geometric constraints are used by many sketch recognition systems to perform high-level assembly of components of a sketch into semantic structures. However, with a few notable exceptions, most of the current recognition ...

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 ...

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 ...
