The State of the Art in HDR Deghosting: A Survey and Evaluation

Obtaining a high quality high dynamic range (HDR) image in the presence of camera and object movement has been a long-standing challenge. Many methods, known as HDR deghosting algorithms, have been developed... Read more »

Panoramic Video from Unstructured Camera Arrays

We describe an algorithm for generating panoramic video from unstructured camera arrays. Artifact-free panorama stitching is impeded by parallax between input views. Common strategies such as multi-level blending or minimum energy seams... Read more »

Paint and Click: Unified Interactions for Image Boundaries

Image boundaries are a fundamental component of many interactive digital photography techniques, enabling applications such as segmentation, panoramas, and seamless image composition. Interactions for image boundaries often rely on two complementary but... Read more »

Scalable Partitioning for Parallel Position Based Dynamics

We introduce a practical partitioning technique designed for parallelizing Position Based Dynamics, and exploiting the ubiquitous multi-core processors present in current commodity GPUs. The input is a set of particles whose dynamics... Read more »

T-SAH: Animation Optimized Bounding Volume Hierarchies

We propose a method for creating a bounding volume hierarchy (BVH) that is optimized for all frames of a given animated scene. The method is based on a novel extension of surface... Read more »

Self Tuning Texture Optimization

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... Read more »

Morse complexes for shape segmentation and homological analysis: discrete models and algorithms

Morse theory offers a natural and mathematically-sound tool for shape analysis and understanding. It allows studying the behavior of a scalar function defined on a manifold. Starting from a Morse function, we... Read more »

SmartAnnotator An Interactive Tool for Annotating Indoor RGBD Images

RGBD images with high quality annotations, both in the form of geometric (i.e., segmentation) and structural (i.e., how do the segments mutually relate in 3D) information, provide valuable priors for a diverse... Read more »

Template Assembly for Detailed Urban Reconstruction

We propose a new framework to reconstruct building details by automatically assembling 3D templates on coarse textured building models. In a preprocessing step, we generate an initial coarse model to approximate a... Read more »

A Dimension-reduced Pressure Solver for Liquid Simulations

This work presents a method for efficiently simplifying the pressure projection step in a liquid simulation. We first devise a straightforward dimension reduction technique that dramatically reduces the cost of solving the... Read more »
