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 ...
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 ...
This paper presents a novel method to study how well non-imaging daylight collectors pipe diffuse daylight into long horizontal funnels for illuminating deep buildings. Forward ray tracing is used to derive luminous intensity distributions curves (LIDC) of ...
The contribution of this paper is two-fold. First, we show how to extend the ESM algorithm to handle motion blur in 3D object track- ing. ESM is a powerful algorithm for template matching-based tracking, but it can fail under motion blur. We introduce an i ...
This paper presents a method for the real-time tracking and rendering of dendritic cells in a stream of microscopes images, as implemented in the software seeCell (TM) developed by Visualbiotech (Mange, 2008). The main guideline is how computer graphics te ...

The problem of generating a virtual view of a scene, i.e. a view from a point where there is not a physical camera to capture the scene, has received recently a lot of attention from the computer vision community. This is probably due to the increase of th ...
Non-linear image warping or image resampling is a necessary step in many current and upcoming video applications such as video retargeting, stereoscopic 3D mapping, and multiview synthesis. The challenges for real-time resampling include resampling image q ...

Woven fabrics have a wide range of appearance determined by their small-scale 3D structure. Accurately modeling this structural detail can produce highly realistic renderings of fabrics and is critical for predictive rendering of fabric appearance. But bui ...
We propose a novel system for designing and manufacturing surfaces that produce desired caustic images when illuminated by a light source. Our system is based on a nonnegative image decomposition using a set of possibly overlapping anisotropic Gaussian ker ...
This paper describes preliminary results of a research performed in the framework of the Enactive project (EU IST NoE Enactive). The aim of this research is to improve believability of a virtual character using qualitative analysis of gesture. Using techni ...
