Perceptual 3D rendering based on principles of analytical cubism

Mahmut Sami Arpa

Cubism, pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, was a breakthrough in art, influencing artists to abandon existing traditions. In this paper, we present a novel approach for cubist rendering of 3D synthetic environments. Rather than merely imitating ...

Photo-Realistic Real-time Face Rendering

Daniel Chappuis

Face rendering is a really important topic in Computer Graphics because a lot of virtual simulations or video games contain virtual humans. In order to obtain a realistic face, we need to take care of skin rendering. Nowadays, we can use modern 3D scanning ...

An Interdisciplinary VR-Architecture for 3D Chatting with Non-verbal Communication

Daniel Thalmann, Stéphane Gobron, Junghyun Ahn, Quentin Silvestre

The communication between avatar and agent has already been treated from different but specialized perspectives. In contrast, this paper gives a balanced view of every key architectural aspect: from text analysis to computer graphics, the chatting system a ...

Computing correspondences in geometric data sets

Mark Pauly, Hao Li

Shape registration and, more generally speaking, computing correspondence across shapes are fundamental problems in computer graphics and vision. Problems from this area show up in many diff erent variants such as scan registration, deformable shape matchi ...

Design and Evaluation of a Novel Haptic Interface for Endoscopic Simulation

Hannes Bleuler, Evren Samur, Lionel Flaction

Inspection of the colon with an endoscope for early signs of cancer (colonoscopy) has become an extremely widespread procedure, since early treatment radically improves the outlook of patients. The procedure requires a close coordination between the sense ...

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 ...

Real-time textured volume reconstruction using virtual and real video cameras

Daniel Thalmann, Stéphane Gobron, Junghyun Ahn, Clément Marx

Reconstructing objects in three dimensions (3D) has always been one of the primary tasks in the domain of computer graphics (CG). Succeeding in this task in real-time, including texture reconstruction, and with very low-cost hardware is the challenge prese ...

Hybrid Representation and Visualization Methods Applied to Neuronal Microcircuits

Sébastien Lasserre

For the past twenty years, scientific visualization has assisted simulation-based research to explore problems of organized complexity. Environmental research, social sciences, astronomy, and modern physics have exploited the increasing power of computer g ...

Real-time motion planning, navigation, and behavior for large crowds of virtual humans

Barbara Yersin

Simulating crowds in real time is a challenging problem that touches many different aspects of Computer Graphics: rendering, animation, path planning, behavior, etc. Our work has mainly focused on two particular aspects of real-time crowds: motion planning ...
