An Application of Multiresolution Massive Surface Representations to the Simulation of Asteroid Missions
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)
We report on a real-time application supporting fast, realistic real-time rendering of asteroid datasets, as well as collision detection and response between the asteroid and prototype robotic surface exploration vehicles. ...
Natural Interaction and Computer Graphics Applications
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)
Natural Interaction with computers has been a challenging topic of research since the very beginning of the digital era and refers to the possibility, on the user s part, of exploiting natural abilities to control the ...
Developing a Web 3.0 E-learning Portal with X3D Technologies
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)
The paper describes our experience in the development of the DIEL learning management system, and especially its 3D interface, which has been developed using X3D. DIEL allows to structure learning activities along a virtual ...
Facile: a System for Artificial Face Dataset Generation
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)
We present Facile, a system for the generation of artificial face datasets aimed to assist the training and evaluation phases of face related algorithms. Facile is able to generate, starting from a set of textured 3D faces ...
Towards a Voting Scheme for Calculating Light Source Positions from a given Target Illumination
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)
Lighting conditions can make the difference between success or failure of an architectural space. The vision of space-light co-design is that architects can control the impression of an illuminated space already at an early ...
An Evaluation of the use of Clustering Coefficient as a Heuristic for the Visualisation of Small World Graphs
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)
Many graphs modelling real-world systems are characterised by a high edge density and the small world properties of a low diameter and a high clustering coefficient. In the "small world" class of graphs, the connectivity ...
A Thin-plate CAD Mesh Model Splitting Approach Based on Fitting Primitives
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)
Extracting structural information from mesh models is crucial for Simulation Driven Design (SDD) in industrial applications. Focusing on thin-plate CAD mesh models (the most commonly used parts in electronic products such ...
Computer Graphics Education and the understanding of pixel plotting algorithms using Growth Aggregation models
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)
It is sometimes difficult to teach fundamental aspects of computer graphics, especially pixel plotting techniques, as some students fail to engage with the material. In this paper we describe a constructionist approach to ...
Sketch-Based Posing of 3D Faces for Facial Animation
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)
This paper presents a novel approach to creating 3D facial animation using a sketch-based interface where the animation is generated by interpolating a sequence of sketched key poses. The user does not need any knowledge ...
Multiresolution Modeling Using Fractal Image Compression Techniques
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)
This work presents a new approach to the multiresolution modeling of polygonal meshes. This approach is based on the theoretically well-established fractal image compression techniques. A polygonal mesh is represented as ...
