• RepSnapping: Efficient Image Cutout for Repeated Scene Elements 

  Huang, Hua; Zhang, Lei; Zhang, Hong-Chao (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)

  Repeated scene elements are copious and ubiquitous in natural images. Cutout of those repeated elements usually involves tedious and laborious user interaction by previous image segmentation methods. In this paper, we ...

• Video Brush: A Novel Interface for Efficient Video Cutout 

  Tong, Ruo-Feng; Zhang, Yun; Ding, Meng (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)

  We present Video Brush, a novel interface for interactive video cutout. Inspired by the progressive selection scheme in images, our interface is designed to select video objects by painting on successive frames as the video ...

• Real Time Edit Propagation by Efficient Sampling 

  Bie, Xiaohui; Huang, Haoda; Wang, Wencheng (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)

  It is popular to edit the appearance of images using strokes, owing to their ease of use and convenience of conveying the user's intention. However, propagating the user inputs to the rest of the images requires solving ...

• River Networks for Instant Procedural Planets 

  Derzapf, Evgenij; Ganster, Björn; Guthe, Michael; Klein, Reinhard (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)

  Realistic terrain models are required in many applications, especially in computer games. Commonly, procedural models are applied to generate the corresponding models and let users experience a wide variety of new environments. ...

• Authoring Hierarchical Road Networks 

  Galin, Eric; Peytavie, Adrien; Guérin, Eric; Benes, Bedrich (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)

  We present a procedural method for generating hierarchical road networks connecting cities, towns and villages over large terrains. Our approach relies on an original geometric graph generation algorithm based on a non- ...

• Discriminative Sketch-based 3D Model Retrieval via Robust Shape Matching 

  Shao, Tianjia; Xu, Weiwei; Yin, Kangkang; Wang, Jingdong; Zhou, Kun; Guo, Baining (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)

  We propose a sketch-based 3D shape retrieval system that is substantially more discriminative and robust than existing systems, especially for complex models. The power of our system comes from a combination of a contourbased ...

• Bipartite Polar Classification for Surface Reconstruction 

  Chen, Yi-Ling; Lee, Tung-Ying; Chen, Bing-Yu; Lai, Shang-Hong (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)

  In this paper, we propose bipartite polar classification to augment an input unorganized point set P with two disjoint groups of points distributed around the ambient space of P to assist the task of surface reconstruction. ...

• SSD: Smooth Signed Distance Surface Reconstruction 

  Calakli, Fatih; Taubin, Gabriel (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)

• Asynchronous Evolution for Fully-Implicit and Semi-Implicit Time Integration 

  Schroeder, Craig; Kwatra, Nipun; Zheng, Wen; Fedkiw, Ron (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)

  We propose a series of techniques for hybridizing implicit and semi-implicit time integration methods in a manner that retains much of the speed of the implicit method without sacrificing all of the higher quality vibrations ...

• Creating Fluid Animation from a Single Image using Video Database 

  Okabe, Makoto; Anjyo, Ken; Onai, Rikio (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)
