Towards a Disambiguation Canvas

Ronan Boulic, Anderson Maciel

We present Disambiguation canvas, a technique for selection by progressive refinement using a mobile device and consisting of two steps. During the first, the user defines a subset of objects through the orientation sensors of the device and a volume-casti ...

Parallel Rendering on Hybrid Multi-GPU Clusters

Achieving efﬁcient scalable parallel rendering for interactive visualization applications on medium-sized graphics clusters remains a challenging problem. Framerates of up to 60hz require a carefully designed and ﬁne-tuned parallel rendering implementation ...

RD optimized auxiliary information for inpainting-based view synthesis

Pascal Frossard, Thomas Maugey

Texture and depth maps of two neighboring camera viewpoints are typically required for synthesis of an intermediate virtual view via depth-image-based rendering (DIBR). However, the bitrate overhead required for reconstruction ofmultiple texture and depth ...

UWB antenna design and ray tracing method for robot localization

Anja Skrivervik, Nuno Miguel Faria Pires, Marco Letizia, Benjamin Fuchs

This poster presents a new base station antenna design and preliminary results on electric field mapping for localizing a UWB-MICS robot in an arena. A batch of new base station antenna prototypes, was built and measured at EPFL - LEMA. A microstrip-fed co ...

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 ...

Contactless deflection sensor for soft robots

Dario Floreano, Ramon Pericet Camara, Michal Karol Dobrzynski

In the emerging field of soft robotics, there is an interest in developing new kinds of sensors whose characteristics do not affect the intrinsic compliance of soft robot components. Additionally, non-invasive shape and deflection sensors may provoke impro ...

Coupled Optical and Electronic Modeling of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells for Steady-State Parameter Extraction

Michael Graetzel, Guido Rothenberger, Sophie Wenger, Matthias Schmid

The design and development of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) is currently often realized on an empirical basis. In view of assisting in this optimization process, we present the framework of a model which consists in a coupled optical and electrical mod ...

Solar radiation modelling for urban environments

Darren Robinson

In this paper we briefly describe three alternative techniques for modelling solar radiation in the urban context. These include the use of: (i) simple morphological parameters as indicators of radiation availability, (ii) a ray-tracing program in conjunct ...

Experimental demonstration of ray-optical refraction with confocal lenslet arrays

Toralf Scharf

We observe imaging through windows comprising pairs of confocal lenslet arrays that have different focal lengths but that are otherwise identical. Image space is stretched in the longitudinal direction only. Such windows are examples of METATOYs, optical c ...

Improving the boneh-franklin traitor tracing scheme

Arjen Lenstra, Alexandre Karlov, Pascal Junod

Traitor tracing schemes are cryptographically secure broadcast methods that allow identification of conspirators: if a pirate key is generated by k traitors out of a static set of l legitimate users, then all traitors can be identified given the pirate key ...
