This paper proposes a new rendering approach for hair. The model we use incorporates semantics-related information directly in the appearance modeling function which we call a Semantics-Aware Texture Function (SATF). This ...

Smoke simulation on a large grid is quite time consuming and most of the computation time is spent on the projection step.We present a novel projection method which produces quite similar visual results as those produced ...

Hypergraphs are a more generalized concept of graphs where an edge typically connects multiple vertices. They are applicable to many different domains such as the representation of complex biochemical pathways or classification ...

We propose a novel tap method for a capacitive touch screen, which is called inverse tap (iTap). Because this is operated as follows: a finger is removed from a screen first, and then put on it, different from normal tap. ...

We propose a novel fully automatic method for novel-viewpoint synthesis. Our method robustly handles multicamera setups featuring wide-baselines in an uncontrolled environment. In a first step, robust and sparse point ...

Mathematical handwriting recognition is an important method of mathematics input for computers. While strides in recognition have been made in recent years, recognition is still at a level where mistakes are common and ...

Nature evolves structures like honeycombs at optimized performance with limited material. These efficient structures can be artificially created with the collaboration of structural topology optimization and additive ...

A surface parameterization is a smooth one-to-one mapping between the surface and a parametric domain. Typically, surfaces with disk topology are mapped onto the plane and genus-zero surfaces onto the sphere. As any ...

This paper relates an ongoing research carrying out at the Cyprus Institute -STARC, focusing on the mobilization of labour required for Santa Cristina sacred well construction, during the Bronze Age period of The Nuragic ...
