In this thesis several expressive visualization techniques for volumetric data are presented. The key idea is to classify the underlying data according to its prominence on the resulting visualization by importance ...

The problems of capturing real-world scenes with cameras and automatically analyzing the visible motion have traditionally been in the focus of computer vision research. The photo-realistic rendition of dynamic real-world ...

With the advent of powerful 3D acquisition technology, there is agrowing demand for the modeling, processing, and visualization ofsurfaces and volumes. The proposed methods must be efficient androbust, and they must be ...

Die Darstellung dreidimensionaler geometrischer Modelle zur Erzeugung glaubw ürdiger Bilder ist in der Computergrafik ein Gebiet von großem Interesse. Eine besondere Herausforderung ist hierbei die Erstellung einer ...

Direkte Volumenvisualisierung ist eine effizienteMethode um komplexe Strukturen volumetrischer Datens¨atze zu untersuchen. Der Hauptvorteil, verglichen zur normalen Oberfl¨achenvisualisierung, ist die M¨oglichkeit ...

In order to be believable, virtual human characters must be able to communicate in a human-like fashion realistically. This dissertation contributes to improving and automating several aspects of virtual conversations. ...

This thesis discusses fast novel view synthesis from multiple images taken from different viewpoints. We propose several new algorithms that take advantage of modern graphics hardware to create novel views. Although ...
