      Unknown author (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
    • Computational Aesthetics 2010 in London, England, June 14-15, 2010, sponsored by Eurographics, in collaboration with ACM SIGGRAPH 

      Isenberg, Tobias; Dodgson, Neil (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
    • Arbitrary Importance Functions for Metropolis Light Transport 

      Hoberock, Jared; Hart, John C. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      We present a generalization of the scalar importance function employed by Metropolis Light Transport (MLT) and related Markov chain rendering algorithms. Although MLT is known for its user-designable mutation rules, we ...
    • Binary Shading Using Appearance and Geometry 

      Buchholz, Bert; Boubekeur, Tamy; DeCarlo, Doug; Alexa, Marc (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      In the style of binary shading, shape and illumination are depicted using two colours, typically black and white, which form coherent lines and regions in the image. We formulate the problem of assigning colours in the ...
    • Poisson-Based Weight Reduction of Animated Meshes 

      Landreneau, Eric; Schaefer, Scott (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      While animation using barycentric coordinates or other automatic weight assignment methods has become a popular method for shape deformation, the global nature of the weights limits their use for real-time applications. ...
    • Optical Image Processing Using Light Modulation Displays 

      Wetzstein, Gordon; Heidrich, Wolfgang; Luebke, David (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      We propose to enhance the capabilities of the human visual system by performing optical image processing directly on an observed scene. Unlike previous work which additively superimposes imagery on a scene, or completely ...
    • Reducing Plenoptic Camera Artifacts 

      Georgiev, T.; Lumsdaine, A. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      The focused plenoptic camera differs from the traditional plenoptic camera in that its microlenses are focused on the photographed object rather than at infinity. The spatio-angular tradeoffs available with this approach ...
    • Resampling Strategies for Deforming MLS Surfaces 

      Gois, Joao Paulo; Buscaglia, Gustavo C. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      Moving-least-squares (MLS) surfaces undergoing large deformations need periodic regeneration of the point set (point-set resampling) so as to keep the point-set density quasi-uniform. Previous work by the authors dealt ...
    • Application of Visual Analytics for Thermal State Management in Large Data Centres 

      Hao, M. C.; Sharma, R. K.; Keim, D. A.; Dayal, U.; Patel, C.; Vennelakanti, R. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      Today s large data centres are the computational hubs of the next generation of IT services. With the advent of dynamic smart cooling and rack level sensing, the need for visual data exploration is growing. If administrators ...
    • Hierarchical Structure Recovery of Point-Sampled Surfaces 

      Attene, Marco; Patane, Giuseppe (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      We focus on the class of regular models defined by Varady et al. for reverse engineering purposes. Given a 3D surface represented through a dense set of points, we present a novel algorithm that converts to a hierarchical ...
    • Geometry-Driven Local Neighbourhood Based Predictors for Dynamic Mesh Compression 

      Vasa, Libor; Skala, Vaclav (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
    • Surface Reconstruction Based on Hierarchical Floating Radial Basis Functions 

      Suessmuth, J.; Meyer, Q.; Greiner, G. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      In this paper we address the problem of optimal centre placement for scattered data approximation using radial basis functions (RBFs) by introducing the concept of floating centres. Given an initial least-squares solution, ...
    • Accurate Simplification of Multi-Chart Textured Models 

      Coll, N.; Paradinas, T. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      Scanning and acquisition methods produce highly detailed surface meshes that need multi-chart parameterizations to reduce stretching and distortion. From these complex shape surfaces, high-quality approximations are ...
    • Spectral Mesh Processing 

      Zhang, H.; Van Kaick, O.; Dyer, R. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      Spectral methods for mesh processing and analysis rely on the eigenvalues, eigenvectors, or eigenspace projections derived from appropriately defined mesh operators to carry out desired tasks. Early work in this area can ...
    • Using a Visual Attention Model to Improve Gaze Tracking Systems in Interactive 3D Applications 

      Hillaire, S.; Breton, G.; Ouarti, N.; Cozot, R.; Lecuyer, A. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      This paper introduces the use of a visual attention model to improve the accuracy of gaze tracking systems. Visual attention models simulate the selective attention part of the human visual system. For instance, in a ...
    • Over Two Decades of Integration-Based, Geometric Flow Visualization 

      McLoughlin, Tony; Laramee, Robert S.; Peikert, Ronald; Post, Frits H.; Chen, Min (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      With ever increasing computing power, it is possible to process ever more complex fluid simulations. However, a gap between data set sizes and our ability to visualize them remains. This is especially true for the field ...
    • Measuring Complexity in Lagrangian and Eulerian Flow Descriptions 

      Jaenicke, H.; Scheuermann, G. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      Automatic detection of relevant structures in scientific data sets is still one of the big challenges in visualization. Techniques based on information theory have shown to be a promising direction to automatically highlight ...
    • A Copula-Based BRDF Model 

      Oeztuerk, Aydin; Kurt, Murat; Bilgili, Ahmet (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      In this paper, we introduce a novel approach for modeling surface reflection. We focus on using a family of probability distributions called Archimedean copulas as BRDF models. The Archimedean representation has an attractive ...
    • Designing a Highly Immersive Interactive Environment: The Virtual Mine 

      Soares, L. P.; Pires, F.; Varela, R.; Bastos, R.; Carvalho, N.; Gaspar, F.; Dias, M. S. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
