    • Real Time Animation of Virtual Humans: A Trade-off Between Naturalness and Control 

      Van Welbergen, H.; Van Basten, B. J. H.; Egges, A.; Ruttkay, Zs. M.; Overmars, M. H. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      Virtual humans are employed in many interactive applications using 3D virtual environments, including (serious) games. The motion of such virtual humans should look realistic (or natural and allow interaction with the ...
    • Efficient and Quality Contouring Algorithms on the GPU 

      Schmitz, L.; Scheidegger, L. F.; Osmari, D. K.; Dietrich, C. A.; Comba, J. L. D. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      Interactive isosurface extraction has recently become possible through successful efforts to map algorithms such as Marching Cubes (MC) and Marching Tetrahedra (MT) to modern Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) architectures. ...
    • Virtual Video Camera: Image-Based Viewpoint Navigation Through Space and Time 

      Lipski, C.; Linz, C.; Berger, K.; Sellent, A.; Magnor, M. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      We present an image-based rendering system to viewpoint-navigate through space and time of complex real-world, dynamic scenes. Our approach accepts unsynchronized, uncalibrated multivideo footage as input. Inexpensive, ...

    • Transparent and Specular Object Reconstruction 

      Ihrke, Ivo; Kutulakos, Kiriakos N.; Lensch, Hendrik P. A.; Magnor, Marcus; Heidrich, Wolfgang (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      This state of the art report covers reconstruction methods for transparent and specular objects or phenomena. While the 3D acquisition of opaque surfaces with Lambertian reflectance is a well-studied problem, transparent, ...
    • Creating and Animating Subject-Specific Anatomical Models 

      Gilles, B.; Reveret, L.; Pai, D. K. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      Creating and animating subject-specific anatomical models is traditionally a difficult process involving medical image segmentation, geometric corrections and the manual definition of kinematic parameters. In this paper, ...
    • A Key-Pose Caching System for Rendering an Animated Crowd in Real-Time 

      Lister, W.; Laycock, R.G.; Day, A.M. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      We present a method to accelerate the visualization of large crowds of animated characters. Linear-blend skinning remains the dominant approach for animating a crowd but its efficiency can be improved by utilizing the ...
    • A Shape Descriptor for 3D Objects Based on Rotational Symmetry 

      Martinek, M.; Grosso, R.; Greiner, G. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      The ability to extract spatial features from 3D objects is essential for applications such as shape matching and object classification. However, designing an effective feature vector which is invariant with respect to ...
    • Bayesian Scheme for Interactive Colourization, Recolourization and Image/Video Editing 

      Dalmau, Oscar; Rivera, Mariano; Alarcon, Teresa (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      We propose a general image and video editing method based on a Bayesian segmentation framework. In the first stage, classes are established from scribbles made by a user on the image. These scribbles can be considered as ...
    • A Smoke Visualization Model for Capturing Surface-Like Features 

      Park, Jinho; Seol, Yeongho; Cordier, Frederic; Noh, Junyong (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      Incense, candle smoke and cigarette smoke often exhibit smoke flows with a surface-like appearance. Although delving into well-known computational fluid dynamics may provide a solution to create such an appearance, we ...
    • Electrostatic Halftoning 

      Schmaltz, Christian; Gwosdek, Pascal; Bruhn, Andres; Weickert, Joachim (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      We introduce a new global approach for image dithering, stippling, screening and sampling. It is inspired by the physical principles of electrostatics. Repelling forces between equally charged particles create a homogeneous ...
    • How to Write a Visualization Research Paper: A Starting Point 

      Laramee, Robert S. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)
      This paper attempts to explain the mechanics of writing a research paper in visualization. This serves as a useful starting point for those who have never written a research paper before or have very little previous ...
    • An Eyeglass Simulator Using Conoid Tracing
