In Computer Graphics applications, it is a common practice to texture 3D models to applymaterial properties to them. Then, once the models are textured, they are deformedto create new poses that can be more appropriate for ...

This thesis investigates computer algorithms and user interfaces which assist in the process of deforming raster images, vector graphics, geometric models and animated characters in real time. Many recent works have focused ...

This thesis describes the research results and contributions that have been achieved during the author's doctoral work. It is divided into two independent parts, each of which is devoted to a particular research aspect.The ...

Automatic processing of three-dimensional image data acquired with computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging plays an increasingly important role in medicine. For example, the automatic segmentation of anatomical ...

Virtual reality computer simulation is nowadays widely used in various fields, such as aviation, military or medicine. However, the current simulators do not completely fulfill the necessary requirements for some fields. ...

In the context of image and video editing, this thesis proposes methods for modifying the semantic content of a recorded scene. Two different editing problems are approached: First, the removal of ghosting artifacts from ...

The processing of human motion data constitutes an important strand of research with many applications in computer animation, sport science and medicine. Currently, there exist various systems for recording human ...

Reciprocal shading for mixed reality aims to integrate virtual objects into real environments in a way that they are in the ideal case indistinguishable from real objects. It is therefore an attractive technology for ...

Computational simulation has become instrumental in the design process in automotive engineering. Virtually all components and subsystems of automobiles can be simulated. The simulation can be repeated many times with ...

Geometric shapes are the basic building blocks of any graphicsrelated application.The effective manipulation of shapes is therefore of central interest formany relevant problems.In particular, there is a growing demand for ...
