An action selection architecture for autonomous virtual humans in persistent worlds

Nowadays, virtual humans such as non-player characters in computer games need to have a strong autonomy in order to live their own life in persistent virtual worlds. When designing autonomous virtual humans, the action selection problem needs to be conside ...

Implicit Meshes for Surface Reconstruction

Pascal Fua, Slobodan Ilic

Deformable 3--D models are used extensively in Computer Graphics and Computer Vision for Visualization, Animation and Modeling. They can be represented either as traditional explicit surfaces, such as triangulated meshes, or as implicit surfaces. Explicit ...

Optimized Motion Simplification for Crowd Animation

Junghyun Ahn

Simulating a huge number of articulate figures in a real-time application is one of the challenging research topics in character animation. Several researchers have tried to improve the performance of animation using the image-based technique such as ‘impo ...

Real-time navigating crowds: Scalable simulation and rendering

Daniel Thalmann, Jonathan Maim, Barbara Yersin

This paper introduces a framework for real-time simulation and rendering of crowds navigating in a virtual environment. The solution first consists in a specific environment preprocessing technique giving rise to navigation graphs, which are then used by t ...

Dynamic Obstacle Clearing for Real-time Character Animation

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic, Pascal Glardon

This paper proposes a novel method to control virtual characters in dynamic environments. A virtual character is animated by a locomotion and jumping engine, enabling production of continuous parameterized motions. At any time during runtime, flat obstacle ...

Wearable Mixed Reality System In Less Than 1 Pound

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo, Achille Peternier

We have designed a wearable Mixed Reality (MR) framework which allows to real-time render game-like 3D scenes on see-through head-mounted displays (see through HMDs) and to localize the user position within aknown internet wireless area. Our equipment weig ...

Rendering massive real-time crowds

Pablo Stanislaw De Heras Ciechomski

This thesis presents how to visualize a large crowd of virtual human characters in real time on a standard issue personal computer. The virtual humans are distributed into rendering fidelities such that the humans closer to the viewer are detailed and expr ...

The Advent of Mesoscopic Injection Solar Cells

Michael Graetzel

Mesoscopic injection solar cells operate in an entirely different fashion than conventional solar p‐n junction devices. Mimicking the principles that natural photosynthesis has used successfully over the last 3·5 billion years in solar energy conversion, t ...

Robust Method for Real-time, Continuous, 3D Detection of Obstructed Faces in Indoors Environments

Charles Baur, Sébastien Grange

We address the need for robust detection of obstructed human features in complex environments, with a focus on intelligent surgical UIs. In our setup, real-time detection is used to find features without the help of local (spatial or temporal) information. ...
