The realistic generation of virtual doubles of real-world actors has been the focus of computer graphics research for many years. However, some problems still remain unsolved: it is still time-consuming to generate character ...

Con objeto de realizar una eficiente visualización interactiva de modelos geométricoscomplejos, que pueden llegar a comprender varios millones de polígonos, es clave reducirsustancialmente la cantidad de datos procesados. ...

Computersimulation physikalischer und chemischer Prozesse sind ein essentielles Hilfsmittelzum Verständnis von Problemen aus dem Bereich der Strömungslehre geworden. Mit aktuellenSimulationspaketen ist es ...

Automatic synthesis of facial animation in Computer Graphics is a challenging task and althoughthe problem is three decades old by now, there is still not a unified method to solveit. This is mainly due to the complex ...

This thesis presents new 3D scanning methods for complex scenes, such as surfaceswith fine-scale geometric details, translucent objects, low-albedo objects,glossy objects, scenes with interreflection, and discontinuous ...

This thesis explores applications of vector field processing to shape deformations. We present a novel method to construct divergence-free vector fields which are used to deform shapes by vector field integration. ...

Shadows provide the human visual system with important cues to sense spatial relationshipsin the environment we live in. As such they are an indispensable partof realistic computer-generated imagery. Unfortunately, visibility ...

Illustrationen spielen eine wichtige Rolle in der Kommunikationkomplexer Sachverhalte. Ihre Herstellung ist jedoch schwierigund teuer. Dreidimensionale bildgebende Verfahren habensich in den letzten Jahren als unverzichtbares ...

This thesis proposes a novel approach for automated 3D speechanimation from audio. An end-to-end system is presented whichundergoes three principal phases. In the acquisition phase, dynamicarticulation motions are recorded ...

The increasingly widespread availability of high dynamic range (HDR) technology has led to active study of the characteristics of the human visual system (HVS) in terms of brightness, lightness, contrast, and color ...
