      Du, Hui; Jin, Xiaogang; Mao, Xiaoyang (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
      We present an alternative approach to create digital camouflage images which follows human's perception intuition and complies with the physical creation procedure of artists. Our method is based on a two-scale decomposition ...
    • Fur Shading and Modification based on Cone Step Mapping 

      Kühnert, Tom; Brunnett, Guido (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
      This paper presents an algorithm for the real time rendering of fur without adding fur-specific geometry, such as shells, to the object. It is based on Cone Step Mapping and introduces a local distortion of the view vector ...
    • A Global Parity Measure for Incomplete Point Cloud Data 

      Seversky, Lee M.; Yin, Lijun (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
      Shapes with complex geometric and topological features such as tunnels, neighboring sheets, and cavities are susceptible to undersampling and continue to challenge existing reconstruction techniques. In this work we introduce ...
    • GPU Shape Grammars 

      Marvie, Jean-Eudes; Buron, Cyprien; Gautron, Pascal; Hirtzlin, Patrice; Sourimant, Gaël (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
      GPU Shape Grammars provide a solution for interactive procedural generation, tuning and visualization of massive environment elements for both video games and production rendering. Our technique generates detailed models ...
    • Hierarchical Narrative Collage For Digital Photo Album 

      Zhang, Lei; Huang, Hua (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
      Collage can provide a summary form on the collection of photos in an album. In this paper, we introduce a novel approach to constructing photo collage in the hierarchical narrative manner. As opposed to previous methods ...
    • Homunculus Warping: Conveying Importance Using Self-intersection-free Non-homogeneous Mesh Deformation 

      Reinert, Bernhard; Ritschel, Tobias; Seidel, Hans-Peter (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
      Size matters. Human perception most naturally relates relative extent, area or volume to importance, nearness and weight. Reversely, conveying importance of something by depicting it at a different size is a classic artistic ...
    • Improving Photo Composition Elegantly: Considering Image Similarity During Composition 

      Guo, Yanwen; Liu, Ming; Gu, Tingting; Wang, Wenping (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
      Optimization of images with bad compositions has attracted increasing attention in recent years. Previous methods however seldomly consider image similarity when improving composition aesthetics. This may lead to significant ...
    • Improving the Parameterization of Approximate Subdivision Surfaces 

      He, Lei; Loop, Charles; Schaefer, Scott (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
      We provide a method for improving the parameterization of patching schemes that approximate Catmull-Clark subdivision surfaces, such that the new parameterization conforms better to that of the original subdivision surface. ...
    • Isotropic Surface Remeshing Using Constrained Centroidal Delaunay Mesh 

      Chen, Zhonggui; Cao, Juan; Wang, Wenping (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
      We develop a novel isotropic remeshing method based on constrained centroidal Delaunay mesh (CCDM), a generalization of centroidal patch triangulation from 2D to mesh surface. Our method starts with resampling an input ...
    • Multi-Layered Automultiscopic Displays
