    • Intrinsic image decomposition from multiple photographs 

      Laffont, Pierre-Yves (Laffont Pierre-Yves, 2012-10-12)
      Editing materials and lighting is a common image manipulation task that requires significantexpertise to achieve plausible results. Each pixel aggregates the effect of both materialand lighting, therefore standard color ...

    • The Intrinsic Shape of Point Clouds 

      Ohrhallinger, Stefan (Ohrhallinger, 2012-07-12)
      Given a point cloud, in the form of unorganized points, the problem of automatically connecting the dots to obtain an aesthetically pleasing and piecewise-linear closed interpolating boundary shape has been extensively ...

    • Meshless sampling and reconstruction of manifolds and patterns 

      Oeztireli, A. Cengiz (Öztireli, 2013)
      It is one of the main goals of Computer Graphics in particular, and science ingeneral, to understand and mimic the complexity in the real world. Over the pastdecades, it has been proven that the mathematical structures of ...

    • Non-Periodic Corner Tilingsin Computer Graphics 

      Schlömer, Thomas (Schlömer, 2012-11-16)
      Rendering computer-generated images is both memory and runtime intensive.This is particularly true in realtime computer graphics where large amounts ofcontent have to be produced very quickly and from limited data. ...

    • Non-Uniform Deformable Volumetric Objects for Medical Organ Segmentation and Registration 

      Erdt, Marius (Erdt, 2012-06-13)
      In medical imaging, large amounts of data are created during each patient examination, especially using 3-dimensional image acquisition techniques such as Computed Tomography. This data becomes more and more difficult to ...
