Visual Saliency for Smell Impulses and Application to Selective Rendering
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)
A major challenge in generating high-fidelity virtual environments is to be able to provide interactive rates of realism. However this is very computationally demanding and only recently visual perception has been used in ...
Dynamic Video Face Transformation Using Multilinear and Autoregressive Models
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)
In this paper we present a prototype system for altering perceived attributes of faces in video sequences, such as the apparent age, sex or emotional state. The system uses multilinear models to decompose the parameters ...
Evaluation of a Reconfigurable Tangible Device for Collaborative Manipulation of Objects in Virtual Reality
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)
In this paper we introduce an evaluation of a Reconfigurable Tangible Device (RTD) for collaborative manipulation of objects in virtual environments. The considered RTD, called RTD-3, has a triangular shape that naturally ...
A Low-Cost Single-Pixel Thermographic Camera
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)
A working prototype of single-pixel thermographic camera which can be built for 100 Euros is presented. It is based on a pyrometer's sensor (thermopile with optics) and two mirrors mounted on servos to scan horizontally ...
Airborne Ultrasound Pulse Force Device for Palpation Simulation
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)
This research is investigating the use of acoustic radiation pressure from ultrasound emitters to produce tactile feedback in medical simulators. An initial application would be to simulate a pulse palpation where the ...
Morphological Analysis from Images of Hyphal Growth using a Fractional Dynamic Model
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)
The development of methods capable of accurately characterising the morphology of filamentous microbes represents a significant challenge to biotechnologists. This is because the productivity of many industrial fermentation ...
A Desktop Multi-Touch Interface for Posing Characters
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)
Multi-touch, direct manipulation interfaces have become common in mobile media applications, but their use on the desktop is limited. In this paper we propose that multi touch direct manipulation is well suited to the ...
Simple and Efficient Normal Encoding with Error Bounds
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)
Normal maps and bump maps are commonly used techniques to make 3D scenes more realistic. Consequently, the efficient storage of normal vectors is an important task in computer graphics. This work presents a fast, lossy ...
Visualisation of Blockplay in Early Childhood
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)
Observation of young children is common in educational settings. For trainee practitioners however, access to children is infrequent, and even then, only small amounts of observable activity can be captured. We have developed ...
Model and Visualise the Relationship between Energy Consumption and Temperature Distribution in Cold Rooms
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)
In the area of food and pharmacy cold storage, temperature distribution is considered as a key factor. Inappropriate distribution of temperature during the cooling process in cold rooms will cause the deterioration of the ...
