<p>This thesis investigates the combination of data-driven and physically basedtechniques for acquiring, modeling, and animating deformable materials,with a special focus on human faces. Furthermore, based on these ...

Nowadays, digital representations of real objects are becoming biggeras scanning processes are more accurate, so the time required for thereconstruction of the scanned models is also increasing.This thesis studies the ...

Real-time realistic rendering of a computer generated scene is one of the core research areas in computer graphics as it is required in several applications such as computer games, training simulators, medical and architectural ...

In augmented reality applications, the position and orientation of the observermust be estimated in order to create a virtual camera that renders virtual objectsaligned with the real scene. There are a wide variety of ...

Computing global illumination (GI) in virtual scenes becomes increasingly attractive even for real-time applications nowadays. GI delivers important cues inthe perception of 3D virtual scenes, which is important for material ...

In this thesis, we cover three scenarios that violate common simplifying assumptions about the nature of light transport. We begin with the first ingredient to any 3D rendering: a geometry model. Most 3D scanners require ...

Perfusionsdaten sind dynamische medizinische Bilddaten, welche den regionalen Blutfluss in Gewebe charakterisieren. Sie besitzen ein großes Potential in der medizinischen Diagnose, da sie, verglichen mit statischen Daten, ...

Interactive simulation of deformable bodies has attracted growing interest in the course of the last decade and, while for a long time it has been limited to applicative domains such as virtual surgery, it is nowadays a ...

Modeling and reconstruction of urban environments is currently the subject of intensive research. There is a wide range of possible applications, including virtual environments ...

Manipulating 2D and 3D shapes interactively is an important task in computer graphics. The challenge is to be able to induce a global change to the shape while preserving its local structure. A deformation tool accepts as ...
