Concepts and methods to support the development and evaluation of remote collaboration using augmented reality
(University of Aveiro, 2021)Remote Collaboration using Augmented Reality (AR) shows great potential to establish a common ground in physically distributed scenarios where team-members need to achieve a shared goal. However, most research efforts in ... -
Data-driven models of 3D avatars and clothing for virtual try-on
(2022-07)Clothing plays a fundamental role in our everyday lives. When we choose clothing to buy or wear, we guide our decisions based on a combination of fit and style. For this reason, the majority of clothing is purchased at ... -
Interactive Authoring of 3D Shapes Represented as Programs
(Institut Polytechnique de Paris, 2022-07-11)Although hardware and techniques have considerably improved over the years at handling heavy content, digital 3D creation remains fairly complex, partly because the bottleneck also lies in the cognitive load imposed over ... -
Computational Analysis and Design of Structurally Stable Assemblies with Rigid Parts
(Lausanne, EPFL, 2021-12-10)An assembly refers to a collection of parts joined together to achieve a specific form and/or functionality. Assemblies make it possible to fabricate large and complex objects with several small and simple parts. Such parts ... -
Scaling Up Medical Visualization: Multi-Modal, Multi-Patient, and Multi-Audience Approaches for Medical Data Exploration, Analysis and Communication
(The University of Bergen, 2022-09-02)Medical visualization is one of the most application-oriented areas of visualization research. Close collaboration with medical experts is essential for interpreting medical imaging data and creating meaningful visualization ... -
Registration of Heterogenous Data for Urban Modeling
(2022-06-22)Indoor/Outdoor modeling of buildings is an important issue in the field of building life cycle management. It is seen as a joint process where the two aspects collaborate to take advantage of their semantic and geometric ... -
Deep Learning Interpretability with Visual Analytics: Exploring Reasoning and Bias Exploitation
(2022-05-16)In the last couple of years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning have evolved, from research domains addressed in laboratories far from the public eye, to technology deployed on industrial scale widely impacting ... -
A Search for Shape
(Norwegian University of Science and Technology, 2021-12-03)As 3D object collections grow, searching based on shape becomes crucial. 3D capturing has seen a rise in popularity over the past decade and is currently being adopted in consumer mobile hardware such as smartphones and ... -
Algorithms for Data-Driven Geometric Stylization & Acceleration
(University of Toronto, 2022-09-29)In this thesis, we investigate computer algorithms for creating stylized 3D digital content and numerical tools for processing high-resolution geometric data. This thesis first addresses the problem of geometric ... -
Procedural noises for the design of small-scale structures in Additive Manufacturing
(2022-04-08)The democratization of AM has sparked a renewed interest in its potential applications. Among these, the ability to print small-scale structures is particularly promising: The geometry of internal small-scales structures ... -
Analysis and Generation of Quality Polytopal Meshes with Applications to the Virtual Element Method
(University of Genoa, Department of Mathematics, 2022-08-31)This thesis explores the concept of the quality of a mesh, the latter being intended as the discretization of a two- or three- dimensional domain. The topic is interdisciplinary in nature, as meshes are massively used in ... -
Homogenizing Yarn Simulations: Large-scale mechanics, small-scale detail, and quantitative fitting
(Institute of Science and Technology Austria, 2022-09-09)The complex yarn structure of knitted and woven fabrics gives rise to both a mechanical and visual complexity. The small-scale interactions of yarns colliding with and pulling on each other result in drastically different ... -
Data-Driven Face Analysis for Performance Retargeting
(ETH Zurich, 2022-05-25)The democratization of digital humans in entertainment was made possible by the recent advances in performance capture, rendering and animation techniques. The human face, which is key to realism, is very complex to animate ... -
