Design principles for soft-rigid hybrid manipulators

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes

In nature, manipulators have evolved into different morphologies with varying rigidity to accomplish different tasks. Soft and continuum tentacles of the octopus, rigid and strong pincers of the crab and ligamentous jointed fingers of the human demonstrate ...

Building and Animating User-Specific Volumetric Face Rigs

Mark Pauly, Ladislav Kavan, Alexandru Eugen Ichim, Merlin Eléazar Nimier-David

Currently, the two main approaches to realistic facial animation are 1) blendshape models and 2) physics-based simulation. Blendshapes are fast and directly controllable, but it is not easy to incorporate features such as dynamics, collision resolution, or ...

Dynamic 3D Avatar Creation from Hand-held Video Input

Mark Pauly, Sofien Bouaziz, Alexandru Eugen Ichim

We present a complete pipeline for creating fully rigged, personalized 3D facial avatars from hand-held video. Our system faithfully recovers facial expression dynamics of the user by adapting a blendshape template to an image sequence of recorded expressi ...

Guided Mesh Normal Filtering

Sofien Bouaziz, Bailin Deng

The joint bilateral filter is a variant of the standard bilateral filter, where the range kernel is evaluated using a guidance signal instead of the original signal. It has been successfully applied to various image processing problems, where it provides m ...

Graph-based denoising for time-varying point clouds

Pierre Vandergheynst, Johann Paratte, Yann Mikaël Schoenenberger

Noisy 3D point clouds arise in many applications. They may be due to errors when creating a 3D model from images or simply to imprecise depth sensors. Point clouds can be given geometrical structure using graphs created from the similarity information betw ...

Realtime Face Tracking and Animation

Sofien Bouaziz

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 ...

RANS computations of tip vortex cavitation

Mohamed Farhat, Matthieu Dreyer

Some two-dimensional (2D) exfoliated zeolites are single- or near single-unit cell thick silicates that can function as molecular sieves. Although they have already found uses as catalysts, adsorbents and membranes precise determination of their thickness ...

A clustering-based method to estimate saliency in 3D animated meshes

Mahmut Sami Arpa

We present a model to determine the perceptually significant elements in animated 3D scenes using a motion-saliency method. Our model clusters vertices with similar motion-related behaviors. To find these similarities, for each frame of an animated mesh se ...

A facial affect mapping engine

Leonardo Laurence Impett

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. ...
