ShapeOp - A Robust and Extensible Geometric Modelling Paradigm

Mark Pauly, Sofien Bouaziz, Bailin Deng, Mario Moacir Deuss, Anders Holden Deleuran

We present ShapeOp, a robust and extensible geometric modelling paradigm. ShapeOp builds on top of the state-of-the-art physics solver (Bouaziz et al. in ACM Trans Graph 33:154:1–154:11, 2014). We discuss the main theoretical advantages of the underlying s ...

Self Tuning Texture Optimization

Mark Pauly, Boris Neubert, Alexandre Kaspar

The goal of example-based texture synthesis methods is to generate arbitrarily large textures from limited exemplars in order to fit the exact dimensions and resolution required for a specific modeling task. The challenge is to faithfully capture all of th ...

Mechanical form-finding of timber fabric structures

Seyed Sina Nabaei

How about fastening a knot? not with ropes... but with timber panels. Timber Fabric Structures (TFS) originate from such an inspiration. An architectural reinterpretation of fabric techniques (mainly braiding) using building scale timber panels to design ...

Dynamic 2D/3D Registration

Mark Pauly, Sofien Bouaziz, Andrea Tagliasacchi

Image and geometry registration algorithms are an essential component of many computer graphics and computer vision systems. With recent technological advances in RGB-D sensors, such as the Microsoft Kinect or Asus Xtion Live, robust algorithms that combin ...

Wire Mesh Design

Mark Pauly, Bailin Deng, Akash Garg

We present a computational approach for designing wire meshes, i.e., freeform surfaces composed of woven wires arranged in a regular grid. To facilitate shape exploration, we map material properties of wire meshes to the geometric model of Chebyshev nets. ...

Semi-Supervised Facial Animation Retargeting

Mark Pauly, Sofien Bouaziz

This paper presents a system for facial animation retargeting that al- lows learning a high-quality mapping between motion capture data and arbitrary target characters. We address one of the main chal- lenges of existing example-based retargeting methods, ...

High-contrast Computational Caustic Design

Mark Pauly, Andrea Tagliasacchi, Yuliy Gennadievich Schwartzburg, Romain Pierre Testuz

We present a new algorithm for computational caustic design. Our algorithm solves for the shape of a transparent object such that the refracted light paints a desired caustic image on a receiver screen. We introduce an optimal transport formulation to esta ...

A clustering-based method to estimate saliency in 3D animated meshes

Mahmut Sami Arpa

We present a model to determine the perceptually significant elements in animated 3D scenes using a motion-saliency method. Our model clusters vertices with similar motion-related behaviors. To find these similarities, for each frame of an animated mesh se ...

Take your Eyes off the Ball: Improving Ball-Tracking by Focusing on Team Play

Pascal Fua, Xinchao Wang, Horesh Beny Ben Shitrit, Vitaly Henry Ablavsky

Accurate video-based ball tracking in team sports is important for automated game analysis, and has proven very difficult because the ball is often occluded by the players. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to addressing this issue by formulating ...

Geometric Variational Models for Inverse Problems in Imaging

Virginia Estellers Casas

This dissertation develops geometric variational models for different inverse problems in imaging that are ill-posed, designing at the same time efficient numerical algorithms to compute their solutions. Variational methods solve inverse problems by the fo ...
