BRDF (for bidirectional reflectance distribution function) are functions used in computer graphics and optics to describe how an opaque surface reflect the incoming light. The goal of this project is to study technics to separate different components of th ...
Over the past few decades we have been experiencing an explosion of information generated by large networks of sensors and other data sources. Much of this data is intrinsically structured, such as traffic evolution in a transportation network, temperature ...
Self-supporting structures are prominent in historical and contemporary architecture due to advantageous structural properties and efficient use of material. Computer graphics research has recently contributed new design tools that allow creating and inter ...
Roughness determines many functional properties of surfaces, such as adhesion, friction, and (thermal and electrical) contact conductance. Recent analytical models and simulations enable quantitative prediction of these properties from knowledge of the pow ...
Humans perceive daylight as a rich and dynamic luminous composition and yet existing performance metrics most often evaluate natural illumination for its ability to adequately illuminate a two-dimensional task surface while avoiding glare-based visual disc ...
We present ShapeOp, a robust and extensible geometric modelling paradigm. ShapeOp builds on top of the state-of-the-art physics solver (Bouaziz et al. in ACM Trans Graph 33:154:1–154:11, 2014). We discuss the main theoretical advantages of the underlying s ...
Capturing and processing human geometry, appearance, and motion is at the core of computer graphics, computer vision, and human-computer interaction. The high complexity of human geometry and motion dynamics, and the high sensitivity of the human visual sy ...
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 ...
In this article, we introduce the real-time cellular force microscope (RT-CFM), a high-throughput microrobotic platform for mechanical stimulation and characterization of single cells. We developed computer vision algorithms that fully automate the positio ...
Microsoft Kinect, Google's Project Tango and Lytro's light field camera are all examples of 3D depth sensing reaching the consumer market. As this technology becomes more widestream, new signal processing techniques are needed to exploit this data. Recent ...
