A Virtual Director Using Hidden Markov Models

Automatically computing a cinematographic consistent sequence of shots over a set of actions occurring in a 3D world is a complex task which requires not only the computation of appropriate shots (viewpoints)... Read more »

Performance Comparison of Bounding Volume Hierarchies and Kd-Trees for GPU Ray Tracing

We present a performance comparison of bounding volume hierarchies and kd-trees for ray tracing on many-core architectures (GPUs). The comparison is focused on rendering times and traversal characteristics on the GPU using... Read more »

Digital Fabrication Techniques for Cultural Heritage: A Survey

Digital fabrication devices exploit basic technologies in order to create tangible reproductions of 3D digital models. Although current 3D printing pipelines still suffer from several restrictions, accuracy in reproduction has reached an... Read more »

Inversion Fractals and Iteration Processes in the Generation of Aesthetic Patterns

In this paper, we generalize the idea of star-shaped set inversion fractals using iterations known from fixed point theory. We also extend the iterations from real parameters to so-called q-system numbers and... Read more »

The State-of-the-Art of Set Visualization

Sets comprise a generic data model that has been used in a variety of data analysis problems. Such problems involve analysing and visualizing set relations between multiple sets defined over the same... Read more »

Visualizing Waypoints-Constrained Origin-Destination Patterns for Massive Transportation Data

Origin-destination (OD) pattern is a highly useful means for transportation research since it summarizes urban dynamics and human mobility. However, existing visual analytics are insufficient for certain OD analytical tasks needed in... Read more »

Recognition-Difficulty-Aware Hidden Images Based on Clue-Map

Hidden images contain one or several concealed foregrounds which can be recognized with the assistance of clues preserved by artists. Experienced artists are trained for years to be skilled enough to find... Read more »

Recent Trends, Applications, and Perspectives in 3D Shape Similarity Assessment

The recent introduction of 3D shape analysis frameworks able to quantify the deformation of a shape into another in terms of the variation of real functions yields a new interpretation of the... Read more »

Environmental Objects for Authoring Procedural Scenes

We propose a novel approach for authoring large scenes with automatic enhancement of objects to create geometric decoration details such as snow cover, icicles, fallen leaves, grass tufts or even trash. We... Read more »
