iCheat: A Representation for Artistic Control of Indirect Cinematic Lighting
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)Thanks to an increase in rendering efficiency, indirect illumination has recently begun to be integrated in cinematic lighting design, an application where physical accuracy is less important than careful control of scene ... -
Illustrative Hybrid Visualization and Exploration of Anatomical and Functional Brain Data
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2008)Common practice in brain research and brain surgery involves the multi-modal acquisition of brain anatomy and brain activation data. These highly complex three-dimensional data have to be displayed simultaneously in order ... -
Illustrative Parallel Coordinates
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2008)Illustrative parallel coordinates (IPC) is a suite of artistic rendering techniques for augmenting and improving parallel coordinate (PC) visualizations. IPC techniques can be used to convey a large amount of information ... -
Image-based Aging Using Evolutionary Computing
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)Aging has considerable visual effects on the human face and is difficult to simulate using a universally-applicable global model. In this paper, we focus on the hypothesis that the patterns of age progression (and regression) ... -
Image-based Material Weathering
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)The appearance manifold [WTL*06] is an efficient approach for modeling and editing time-variant appearance of materials from the BRDF data captured at single time instance. However, this method is difficult to apply in ... -
Image-based Shaving
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)Many categories of objects, such as human faces, can be naturally viewed as a composition of several different layers. For example, a bearded face with glasses can be decomposed into three layers: a layer for glasses, a ... -
Image-Based Surface Compression
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)We present a generic framework for compression of densely sampled three-dimensional (3D) surfaces in order to satisfy the increasing demand for storing large amounts of 3D content. We decompose a given surface into patches ... -
Improving Multipath Radiosity with Bundles of Parallel Lines
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)Monte Carlo approaches use random lines to distribute the light power in the scene but the cost of creating a set of random single lines is very costly. In this paper, we present several software and hardware techniques ... -
Interaction-Dependent Semantics for Illustrative Volume Rendering
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2008)In traditional illustration the choice of appropriate styles and rendering techniques is guided by the intention of the artist. For illustrative volume visualizations it is difficult to specify the mapping between the 3D ... -
Interactive Exploratory Visualization of 2D Vector Fields
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2008)In this paper we present several techniques to interactively explore representations of 2D vector fields. Through a set of simple hand postures used on large, touch-sensitive displays, our approach allows individuals to ... -
Interactive Global Illumination for Deformable Geometry in CUDA
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)Interactive global illumination for fully deformable scenes with dynamic relighting is currently a very elusive goal in the area of realistic rendering. In this work we propose a system that is based on explicit visibility ... -
Interactive Glossy Reflections using GPU-based Ray Tracing with Adaptive LOD
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)We present an interactive GPU-based algorithm for accurately rendering high-quality, dynamic glossy reflection effects from both HDR environment maps and local scene objects. Our method uses hardware rasterization to produce ... -
Interactive Visualization for Memory Reference Traces
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2008)We present the Memory Trace Visualizer (MTV), a tool that provides interactive visualization and analysis of the sequence of memory operations performed by a program as it runs. As improvements in processor performance ... -
Interactive Visualization of Multimodal Volume Data for Neurosurgical Tumor Treatment
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2008)We present novel interactive methods for the visualization of multimodal volume data as used in neurosurgical therapy planning. These methods allow surgeons to explore multimodal volumes and focus on functional data and ... -
Interactive Volume Rendering with Dynamic Ambient Occlusion and Color Bleeding
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)We propose a method for rendering volumetric data sets at interactive frame rates while supporting dynamic ambient occlusion as well as an approximation to color bleeding. In contrast to ambient occlusion approaches for ... -
Interference Shaders of Thin Films
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)This paper presents a systematic study of light interferences at single thin films. Based on Fresnel s law, we have derived generic expressions of reflectance and transmittance for film interference, as well as specific ... -
Interpolatory and Mixed Loop Schemes
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)This paper presents a new interpolatory Loop scheme and an unified and mixed interpolatory and approximation subdivision scheme for triangular meshes. The former which is C1 continuous as same as the modified Butterfly ... -
Investigative Visual Analysis of Global Terrorism
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2008)Recent increases in terrorist activity around the world have made analyzing and understanding such activities more critical than ever. With the help of organizations such as the National Center for the Study of Terrorism ... -
Irradiance Gradients in the Presence of Participating Media and Occlusions
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)In this paper we present a technique for computing translational gradients of indirect surface reflectance in scenes containing participating media and significant occlusions. These gradients describe how the incident ... -
Knitting a 3D Model
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)A knitted animal is made of a closed surface consisting of several knitted patches knitted out of yarn and stuffed with cotton (Fig. 1). We introduce a system to create a knitting pattern from a given 3D surface model ...
