Binary Orientation Trees for Volume and Surface Reconstruction from Unoriented Point Clouds
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)Given a complete unoriented point set, we propose a binary orientation tree (BOT) for volume and surface representation, which roughly splits the space into the interior and exterior regions with respect to the input point ... -
Frontmatter PG 2010
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010) -
Variance Soft Shadow Mapping
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)We present variance soft shadow mapping (VSSM) for rendering plausible soft shadow in real-time. VSSM is based on the theoretical framework of percentage-closer soft shadows (PCSS) and exploits recent advances in variance ... -
Condenser-Based Instant Reflectometry
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)We present a technique for rapid capture of high quality bidirectional reflection distribution functions(BRDFs) of surface points. Our method represents the BRDF at each point by a generalized microfacet model with tabulated ... -
L4RW: Laziness-based Realistic Real-time Responsive Rebalance in Walking
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)We present a novel L4RW (Laziness-based Realistic Real-time Responsive Rebalance in Walking) technique to synthesize 4RW animations under unexpected external perturbations with minimal locomotion effort. We first devise a ... -
Manifold-Based 3D Face Caricature Generation with Individualized Facial Feature Extraction
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)Caricature is an interesting art to express exaggerated views of different persons and things through drawing. The face caricature is popular and widely used for different applications. To do this, we have to properly ... -
Contour-based Interface for Refining Volume Segmentation
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)Medical volume images contain ambiguous and low-contrast boundaries around which existing fully- or semiautomatic segmentation algorithms often cause errors. In this paper, we propose a novel system for intuitively and ... -
Context-Dependent Crowd Evaluation
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)Many times, even if a crowd simulation looks good in general, there could be some specific individual behaviors which do not seem correct. Spotting such problems manually can become tedious, but ignoring them may harm the ... -
Feature based terrain generation using diffusion equation
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)This paper presents a diffusion method for generating terrains from a set of parameterized curves that characterize the landform features such as ridge lines, riverbeds or cliffs. Our approach provides the user with an ... -
B-Mesh: A Modeling System for Base Meshes of 3D Articulated Shapes
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)This paper presents a novel modeling system, called B-Mesh, for generating base meshes of 3D articulated shapes. The user only needs to draw a one-dimensional skeleton and to specify key balls at the skeletal nodes. The ... -
An Example-based Approach to Synthesize Artistic Strokes using Graphs
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)In this paper, we propose a technique to produce artistic strokes in a variety of drawing material based on example images. Our approach is to divide example strokes scanned from images into small pieces along their stroke ... -
Creating and Preserving Vortical Details in SPH Fluid
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)We present a new method to create and preserve the turbulent details generated around moving objects in SPH fluid. In our approach, a high-resolution overlapping grid is bounded to each object and translates with the object. ... -
Towards Perceptual Simplification of Models with Arbitrary Materials
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)Real-time rendering of models with high polygon count is still an important issue in interactive computer graphics. A common way to improve rendering performance is to generate different levels of detail of a model. These ... -
Automatic Animation for Time-Varying Data Visualization
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)This paper presents a digital storytelling approach that generates automatic animations for time-varying data visualization. Our approach simulates the composition and transition of storytelling techniques and synthesizes ... -
A simple and robust thinning algorithm on cell complexes
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)Thinning is a commonly used approach for computing skeleton descriptors. Traditional thinning algorithms often have a simple, iterative structure, yet producing skeletons that are overly sensitive to boundary perturbations. ... -
Semi-isometric Registration of Line Features for Flexible Fitting of Protein Structures
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)In this paper, we study a registration problem that is motivated by a practical biology problem - fitting protein structures to low-re solution density maps. We consider registration between two sets of lines features ... -
Polygonal Surface Advection applied to Strange Attractors
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)Strange attractors of 3D vector field flows sometimes have a fractal geometric structure in one dimension, and smooth surface behavior in the other two. General flow visualization methods show the flow dynamics well, but ... -
Dirichlet Harmonic Shape Compression with Feature Preservation for Parameterized Surfaces
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)With the rapid advancement of 3D scanning devices, large and complicated 3D shapes are becoming ubiquitous, and require large amount of resources to store and transmit them efficiently. This makes shape compression a ... -
Feature Oriented Progressive Lossless Mesh Coding
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)A feature-oriented generic progressive lossless mesh coder (FOLProM) is proposed to encode triangular meshes with arbitrarily complex geometry and topology. In this work, a sequence of levels of detail (LODs) are generated ... -
Least Squares Subdivision Surfaces
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)The usual approach to design subdivision schemes for curves and surfaces basically consists in combining proper rules for regular configurations, with some specific heuristics to handle extraordinary vertices. In this ...
