Graph Chatbot

Chattez avec Graph Search

Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.

AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.

Artificial Life X

Dario Floreano

Artificial Life is an interdisciplinary effort to investigate the fundamental properties of living systems through the simulation and synthesis of life-like processes in artificial media. The field brings a powerful set of tools to the study of how high-le ...

Mixing virtual and real scenes in the site of ancient Pompeii

Daniel Thalmann, Sébastien Schertenleib

This paper presents an innovative 3D reconstruction of ancient fresco paintings through the real-time revival of their fauna and flora, featuring groups of virtual animated characters with artificial-life dramaturgical behaviours in an immersive, fully mob ...

A biomechanics-based articulation model for medical applications

Anderson Maciel

Computer Graphics came into the medical world especially after the arrival of 3D medical imaging. Computer Graphics techniques are already integrated in the diagnosis procedure by means of the visual tridimensional analysis of computer tomography, magnetic ...

Acquiring, structuring shapes and annotating them with semantics to improve design activities

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo

Shapes incorporate geometry as well as semantics and can be defined in 2D, 3D or higher dimensions. Geometric models can be structured in such a way that they can provide a relevant framework to insert semantic information or view dependent information abo ...

Virtual humans: thirty years of research, what next?

Daniel Thalmann

In this paper, we present research results and future challenges in creating realistic and believable virtual humans. To realize these modeling goals, real-time realistic representation is essential, but we also need interactive and perceptive virtual huma ...

Knot-tying with Visual and Force Feedback for VR Laparoscopic Training

Hannes Bleuler, Etienne Burdet, Fei Wang

Real-time simulation of thread and knot-tying with visual and force feedback is an essential part of virtual reality laparoscopic training. This paper presents a physics-based thread simulator that enables realistic knot tying at haptic rendering rate. The ...

Dynamic thread for real-time knot-tying

Etienne Burdet, Fei Wang, Ankur Dhanik

Real-time simulation of knot-tying with visual and force feedback is essential to VR surgery training. We present a physics-based simulator that enables realistic knot tying at haptic speed. The virtual thread obeys Newton's laws and behaves naturally. The ...

Implicit Meshes for Surface Reconstruction

Pascal Fua, Slobodan Ilic

Deformable 3--D models are used extensively in Computer Graphics and Computer Vision for Visualization, Animation and Modeling. They can be represented either as traditional explicit surfaces, such as triangulated meshes, or as implicit surfaces. Explicit ...

The complexity of testing a motivational model of action selection for virtual humans

Daniel Thalmann, Etienne De Sevin

After implementing a motivational model of action selection applied to autonomous virtual humans inspired by models of animals' decision-making, the problem consists of testing it in good conditions for validation. Indeed this model has to respect the six ...

Component-based methodology and development framework for virtual and augmented reality systems

Michal Ponder

The very recent revolutionary advancements and wide availability of the real-time 3D graphics technology results in the overwhelming and still quickly growing number of toolkits, game engines, and VR/AR frameworks, which offer very broad collections of fun ...
