Efficient raytracing of deforming point-sampled surfaces

Mark Pauly

We present efficient data structures and caching schemes to accelerate ray-surface intersections for deforming point-sampled surfaces. By exploiting spatial and temporal coherence of the deformation during the animation, we are able to improve rendering pe ...

Color image enhancement using a Retinex-based adaptive filter

Sabine Süsstrunk, Laurence Meylan

We present a new adaptation of Retinex to enhance the rendering of high dynamic range digital color images. The image is processed using an adaptive Gaussian filter. The shape of the filter basis is adapted to follow the high contrasted edges of the image. ...

Bio-inspired image enhancement for natural color images

Sabine Süsstrunk, Laurence Meylan

Capturing and rendering an image that fulfills the observer's expectations is a difficult task. This is due to the fact that the signal reaching the eye is processed by a complex mechanism before forming a percept, whereas a capturing device only retains t ...

Precision Isosurface Rendering of 3-D Image Data

Michaël Unser, Philippe Thévenaz

We address the task of rendering by ray tracing the isosurface of a high-quality continuous model of volumetric discrete and regular data. Based on first principles, we identify the quadratic B-spline as the best model for our purpose. The nonnegativity of ...

Images incorporating microstructures

Roger Hersch, Patrick Emmel

A method of generating an image incorporating a microstructure includes the steps of obtaining an original image, generating a microstructure, and rendering a region or the whole said original image with said microstructure. The operation of generating the ...

Pointshop 3D: An interactive system for point-based surface editing

Mark Pauly

We present a system for interactive shape and appearance editing of 3D point-sampled geometry. By generalizing conventional 2D pixel editors, our system supports a great variety of different interaction techniques to alter shape and appearance of 3D point ...

High-Quality Isosurface Rendering with Exact Gradient

Michaël Unser, Philippe Thévenaz

We address the task of rendering by ray tracing the isosurface of a high-quality continuous spline model of volumetric discrete and regular data. By expressing the spline model as a sum of nonnegative B-splines, we are able to confine the potential locatio ...

Splines and wavelets for image warping and projection

Stefan Horbelt

This thesis investigates advanced signal processing concepts and their application to geometric processing and transformations of images and volumes. In the first part, we discuss the class of transformations that project volume data onto a plane using par ...

Real-time display of virtual humans: levels of details and impostors

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic, Amaury Aubel

Rendering and animating in real-time a multitude of articulated characters presents a real challenge, and few hardware systems are up to the task. Up to now, little research has been conducted to tackle the issue of real-time rendering of numerous virtual ...

Animated impostors for real-time display of numerous virtual humans

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic, Amaury Aubel

Rendering and animating a multitude of articulated characters in real-time presents a real challenge, and few hardware systems are up to the task. Up to now, little research has been conducted to tackle the issue of real-time rendering of numerous virtual ...
