Journalists need visual interfaces that cater to the exploratory nature of their investigative activities. In this paper, we report on a four-year design study with data journalists. The main result is netflower, a visual ...

Fused deposition modeling based 3D-printing is becoming increasingly popular due to it's low-cost and simple operation and maintenance. While it produces rugged prints made from a wide range of materials, it suffers from ...

Random Sample Consensus is a powerful paradigm that was successfully applied in various contexts, including Location Determination Problem, fundamental matrix estimation and global 3D surface registration, where many ...

We present a novel example-based material appearance modeling method suitable for rapid digital content creation. Our method only requires a single HDR photograph of a homogeneous isotropic dielectric exemplar object under ...

This paper proposes optimal quadrature rules over the hemisphere for the shading integral. We leverage recent work regarding the theory of quadrature rules over the sphere in order to derive a new theoretical framework for ...

We generalize N-rooks, jittered, and (correlated) multi-jittered sampling to higher dimensions by importing and improving upon a class of techniques called orthogonal arrays from the statistics literature. Renderers typically ...

A mandatory component for many point set algorithms is the availability of consistently oriented vertex-normals (e.g. for surface reconstruction, feature detection, visualization). Previous orientation methods on meshes ...

Traditional pencil drawing rendering algorithms when applied to video may suffer from temporal inconsistency and showerdoor effect due to the stochastic noise models employed. This paper attempts to resolve these problems ...

There are many methods proposed for generating polycube polyhedrons, but it lacks the study about the possibility of generating polycube polyhedrons. In this paper, we prove a theorem for characterizing the necessary ...
