    • Robust and Efficient Wave Simulations on Deforming Meshes 

      Angst, Roland; Thuerey, Nils; Botsch, Mario; Gross, Markus (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
      The goal of this paper is to enable the interactive simulation of phenomena such as animated fluid characters. While full 3D fluid solvers achieve this with control algorithms, these 3D simulations are usually too costly ...

    • Real-time Animation of Sand-Water Interaction 

      Rungjiratananon, Witawat; Szego, Zoltan; Kanamori, Yoshihiro; Nishita, Tomoyuki (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
      Recent advances in physically-based simulations have made it possible to generate realistic animations. However, in the case of solid-fluid coupling, wetting effects have rarely been noticed despite their visual importance ...

    • Context Aware Terrain Visualization for Wayfinding and Navigation 

      Moeser, Sebastian; Degener, Patrick; Wahl, Roland; Klein, Reinhard (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
      To assist wayfinding and navigation, the display of maps and driving directions on mobile devices is nowadays commonplace. While existing system can naturally exploit GPS information to facilitate orientation, the inherently ...

    • Automatic Facsimile of Chinese Calligraphic Writings 

      Xu, Songhua; Jiang, Hao; Jin, Tao; Lau, Francis C.M.; Pan, Yunhe (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)

    • Online Personalised Non-photorealistic Rendering Technique for 3D Geometry from Incremental Sketching 

      Ku, Daychyi; Qin, Shengfeng; Wright, David K.; Ma, Cuixia (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
      This paper presents an online personalised non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) technique for 3D models generated from interactively sketched input. This technique has been integrated into a sketch-based modelling system. ...

    • Part-type Segmentation of Articulated Voxel-Shapes using the Junction Rule 

      Reniers, Dennie; Telea, Alexandru (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
      We present a part-type segmentation method for articulated voxel-shapes based on curve skeletons. Shapes are considered to consist of several simpler, intersecting shapes. Our method is based on the junction rule: the ...

    • A Hidden-picture Puzzles Generator 

      Yoon, Jong-Chul; Lee, In-Kwon; Kang, Henry (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
      A hidden-picture puzzle contains objects hidden in a background image, in such a way that each object fits closely into a local region of the background. Our system converts image of the background and objects into line ...

    • Patch-type Segmentation of Voxel Shapes using Simplified Surface Skeletons 

      Reniers, Dennie; Telea, Alexandru (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
      We present a new method for decomposing a 3D voxel shape into disjoint segments using the shape s simplified surface-skeleton. The surface skeleton of a shape consists of 2D manifolds inside its volume. Each skeleton point ...

    • A Biorthogonal Wavelet Approach based on Dual Subdivision 

      Zhang, Hui; Qin, Guiming; Qin, Kaihuai; Sun, Hanqiu (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
      In this paper a biorthogonal wavelet approach based on Doo-Sabin subdivision is presented. In the dual subdivision like Doo-Sabin scheme, all the old control vertices disappear after one subdivision step, which is a big ...

    • Reconstructing head models from photographs for individualized 3D-audio processing 

      Dellepiane, M.; Pietroni, N.; Tsingos, N.; Asselot, M.; Scopigno, R. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
      Visual fidelity and interactivity are the main goals in Computer Graphics research, but recently also audio is assuming an important role. Binaural rendering can provide extremely pleasing and realistic three-dimensional ...

    • Reconstructing 3D Shape, Albedo and Illumination from a Single Face Image 

      Wang, S. F.; Lai, S. H. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
      The morphable model has been employed to efficiently describe 3D face shape and the associated albedo with a reduced set of basis vectors. The spherical harmonics (SH) model provides a compact basis to well approximate the ...

    • The Craniofacial Reconstruction from the Local Structural Diversity of Skulls 

      Pei, Yuru; Zha, Hongbin; Yuan, Zhongbiao (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
      The craniofacial reconstruction is employed as an initialization of the identification from skulls in forensics. In this paper, we present a two-level craniofacial reconstruction framework based on the local structural ...

    • Perceptual Evaluation of Color-to-Grayscale Image Conversions 

      Cadik, M. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
      Color images often have to be converted to grayscale for reproduction, artistic purposes, or for subsequent processing. Methods performing the conversion of color images to grayscale aim to retain as much information about ...

    • Distortion Optimization based Image Completion from a Large Displacement View 

      Liu, Chunxiao; Yang, Yingzhen; Peng, Qunsheng; Wang, Jin; Chen, Wei (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
      We present a new image completion method based on an additional large displacement view (LDV) of the same scene for faithfully repairing large missing regions on the target image in an automatic way. A coarse-to-fine ...

    • Shrinkability Maps for Content-Aware Video Resizing 

      Zhang, Yi-Fei; Hu, Shi-Min; Martin, Ralph R. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
      A novel method is given for content-aware video resizing, i.e. targeting video to a new resolution (which may involve aspect ratio change) from the original.We precompute a per-pixel cumulative shrinkability map which takes ...

    • View and Time Interpolation in Image Space 

      Stich, Timo; Linz, Christian; Albuquerque, Georgia; Magnor, Marcus (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
      The ability to interpolate between images taken at different time and viewpoints directly in image space opens up new possiblities. The goal of our work is to create plausible in-between images in real time without the ...
