Model-based 3D Face Reconstruction

Christophe René Joseph Ecabert

The human face plays an essential role in social interactions as it brings information about someone's identity, state of mind, or mood. People are, by nature, very good at catching this non-spoken information. Therefore, scientists have been interested in ...

2d-3d sculpture paintings

Sabine Süsstrunk, Roger Hersch, Mahmut Sami Arpa

We disclose a method for synthesizing by computer an artwork where 2D and 3D contents are integrated within a same composition. Such an artwork creates plausible effects for the viewers by showing a different relationship between 2D and 3D at each viewing ...

Voxel2Mesh: 3D Mesh Model Generation from Volumetric Data

Pascal Fua, Graham Knott, Pamuditha Udaranga Wickramasinghe, Edoardo Remelli

CNN-based volumetric methods that label individual voxels now dominate the field of biomedical segmentation. However, 3D surface representations are often required for proper analysis. They can be obtained by post-processing the labeled volumes which typic ...

On the Efficiency of OpenACC-aided GPU-Based FDTD Approach: Application to Lightning Electromagnetic Fields

Mohammad Azadifar, Hamidreza Karami

An open accelerator (OpenACC)-aided graphics processing unit (GPU)-based finite difference time domain (FDTD) method is presented for the first time for the 3D evaluation of lightning radiated electromagnetic fields along a complex terrain with arbitrary t ...

Training in Mapping Changes on an Archaeological Site

Pierre-Yves Gilliéron, Bertrand Merminod, Jérôme Zufferey

The evolution of technologies makes surveying accessible to a broader community of professionals and students. Therefore, teaching geomatics is a continuous challenge. This article presents an original pedagogical approach based on a teaching unit gatherin ...

Learning Ground Traversability From Simulations

Mobile ground robots operating on unstructured terrain must predict which areas of the environment they are able to pass in order to plan feasible paths. We address traversability estimation as a heightmap classification problem: we build a convolutional n ...

Probabilistic Terrain Mapping for Mobile Robots With Uncertain Localization

Marco Hutter

Mobile robots build on accurate, real-time mapping with onboard range sensors to achieve autonomous navigation over rough terrain. Existing approaches often rely on absolute localization based on tracking of external geometric or visual features. To circum ...

Robot-centric elevation mapping with uncertainty estimates

Roland Siegwart, Marco Hutter

This paper addresses the local terrain mapping process for an autonomous robot. Building upon an onboard range measurement sensor and an existing robot pose estimation, we formulate a novel elevation mapping method from a robot-centric perspective. This fo ...

Caustic Art

Mark Pauly

The computation of caustics created by reflection or refraction of light is a well-studied problem in computer graphics. This paper investigates the inverse problem: Given a greyscale intensity image, find the shape of a surface that will cast a caustic th ...

Progressive Expectation-maximization for Hierarchical Volumetric Photon Mapping

Wenzel Alban Jakob

State-of-the-art density estimation methods for rendering participating media rely on a dense photon representation of the radiance distribution within a scene. A critical bottleneck of such kernel-based approaches is the excessive number of photons that a ...
