This paper investigates rendering glittery surfaces, ones which exhibit shifting random patterns of glints as the surface or viewer moves. It applies both to dramatically glittery surfaces that contain mirror-like flakes and also to rough surfaces that exh ...
How about fastening a knot? not with ropes... but with timber panels. Timber Fabric
Structures (TFS) originate from such an inspiration. An architectural reinterpretation
of fabric techniques (mainly braiding) using building scale timber panels to design ...
Visual tracking has become a very important component in computer vision, but achieving a robust, reliable and real time tracking remains a real challenge.In order to improve the actual state-of-the-art, we choose to study and improve one of the most perfo ...
Image and geometry registration algorithms are an essential component of many computer graphics and computer vision systems. With recent technological advances in RGB-D sensors, such as the Microsoft Kinect or Asus Xtion Live, robust algorithms that combin ...
We propose a novel approach to synthesizing images that are effective for training object detectors. Starting from a small set of real images, our algorithm estimates the rendering parameters required to synthesize similar images given a coarse 3D model of ...
In the frame of therapeutic drug monitoring and personalized medicine, point-of-care systems (POCs) that can help overcome long waiting times for results and costly procedures of clinical tests are highly desirable. At present, the detection of low-molecul ...
For architects, real-time 3D visual rendering of CAD-models is a valuable tool. The architect usually perceives the visual appearance of the building interior in a natural and realistic way during the design process. Unfortunately this only emphasizes the ...
Facial expressions play a crucial role in human interaction. Interactive digital games can help teaching people to both express and recognise them. Such interactive games can benefit from the ability to alter user expressions dynamically and in real-time. ...
High-speed applications impose a hard real-time constraint on the solution of a model predictive control (MPC) problem, which generally prevents the computation of the optimal control input. As a result, in most MPC implementations guarantees on feasibilit ...
Mobile robots suffer from sensor data corruption due to body oscillations and disturbances. Especially, information loss on images captured with onboard cameras can be extremely high and such loss may become irreversible or deblurring can be computationall ...
