Semantics for virtual humans

Alejandra Garcia Rojas Martinez

Population of Virtual Worlds with Virtual Humans is increasing rapidly by people who want to create a virtual life parallel to the real one (i.e. Second Life). The evolution of technology is smoothly providing the necessary elements to increase realism wit ...

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 ...

Contact modeling and collision detection in human joints

Ehsan Arbabi

Collision detection among virtual objects is one of the main concerns in virtual reality and computer graphics. Usually the methods developed for collision detection are for either very general cases or very specific applications. The first main goal of th ...

VR simulation of interventional radiology and microsurgery

Fei Wang

Currently trainees typically learn surgery techniques directly on mocks, animals or cadavers. For safety, cost and ethics reasons, one cannot try all possible strategies to achieve efficient learning. Virtual Reality (VR) based surgery training systems int ...

Real-Time Update of 3D Deformable Models for Computer Aided Liver Surgery

Charles Baur, Benoît Dagon

Providing accurate image-guidance for soft-tissue interventions remains a complex task. Most of the time, preoperative models and planning data are no more valid during the surgical process due to motions and deformations of the organ of interest. In this ...

Visual creation of inhabited 3D environments: An ontology-based approach

Daniel Thalmann, Alejandra Garcia Rojas Martinez

The creation of virtual reality applications and 3D environments is a complex task that requires good programming skills and expertise in computer graphics and many other disciplines. The complexity increases when we want to include complex entities such a ...

The Mental Vision framework - A platform for teaching, practicing and researching with computer graphics and virtual reality

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo, Achille Peternier

Despite the wide amount of computer graphics frameworks and solutions available, it is still difficult to find a perfect one fitting at the same time many constraints, like pedagogical intents and user-friendliness or speed with high rendering quality and ...

Towards a Scientific Model Management System

Stefano Spaccapietra, José Antonio Fernandes de Macedo

Computational models of biological systems aim at accurately simulating in vivo phenomena. They have become a very powerful tool enabling scientists to study complex behavior. A side effect of their success Unfortunately exists and is observed as an increa ...

Crowds of Moving Objects: Navigation Planning and Simulation

Daniel Thalmann, Helena Stephanie Grillon Le Gallennec

This paper presents a solution to interactive navigation planning and real-time simulation of a very large number of entities moving in a virtual environment. From the environment geometry analysis, we deduce a structure called navigation graph, which is t ...
