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 ...

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 ...

Merging Cellular Automata for Simulating Surface Effects

Stéphane Gobron

This paper describes a model of three-dimensional cellular automata allowing to simulate different phenomena in the fields of computer graphics or image processing. Our method allows to combine them together in order to produce complex effects such as auto ...

Interactive modeling of the human musculature

Daniel Thalmann, Amaury Aubel

In this paper, we extend our previous work (Proc. Computer Animation and Simulation, pp. 125-135, Aug. 2000) and propose a muscle model that is suitable for computer graphics based on physiological and anatomical considerations. Muscle motion and deformati ...

3D surface cellular automata and their applications

Stéphane Gobron

This paper describes the generation and rendering of three-dimensional (3D) surface cellular automata (CA). Our model’s main advantage is that it gives direct texturing simulation based on the actual shape of anytriangulated input object. We first introduc ...
