Analysis and synthesis of 3D shape families via deep-learned generative models of surfaces

We present a method for joint analysis and synthesis of geometrically diverse 3D shape families. Our method first learns part-based templates such that an optimal set of fuzzy point and part correspondences... Read more »

An Image Degradation Model for Depth-augmented Image Editing

Images remain the most popular medium to capture our surroundings. Although significant advances have been made in developing image editing tools, the key challenge is to intelligently account for missing depth information.... Read more »

Dynamic SfM: Detecting Scene Changes from Image Pairs

Detecting changes in scenes is important in many scene understanding tasks. In this paper, we pursue this goal simply from a pair of image recordings. Specifically, our goal is to infer what... Read more »

Robust Articulated-ICP for Real-Time Hand Tracking

We present a robust method for capturing articulated hand motions in realtime using a single depth camera. Our system is based on a realtime registration process that accurately reconstructs hand poses by... Read more »

Reforming Shapes for Material-aware Fabrication

As humans, we regularly associate shape of an object with its built material. In the context of geometric modeling, however, this inter-relation between form and material is rarely explored. In this work,... Read more »

Example Based Repetitive Structure Synthesis

We present an example based geometry synthesis approach for generating general repetitive structures. Our model is based on a meshless representation, unifying and extending previous synthesis methods. Structures in the example and... Read more »

Perfect Matching Quad Layouts for Manifold Meshes

This paper introduces a new approach to automatically generate pure quadrilateral patch layouts on manifold meshes. The algorithm is based on a careful construction of a singularity graph of a given input... Read more »

Tight Relaxation of Quadratic Matching

Establishing point correspondences between shapes is extremely challenging as it involves both finding sets of semantically persistent feature points, as well as their combinatorial matching. We focus on the latter and consider... Read more »

Texture Mapping Real-World Objects with Hydrographics

In the digital world, assigning arbitrary colors to an object is a simple operation thanks to texture mapping. However, in the real world, the same basic function of applying colors onto an... Read more »

The Implications of the EU ‘Right to Be Forgotten’ Law on Web Searches

Since 2013, the Right to Be Forgotten has lived overseas with little chance of coming to the U.S. Some European officials are looking to change this. Read more »
