Large 3D asset databases are critical for designing virtual worlds, and using them effectively requires techniques for efficient querying and navigation. One important form of query is search by style compatibility: given ...

The analysis of behavioral city dynamics, such as temporal patterns of visited places and citizens' mobility routines, is an essential task for urban and transportation planning. Social media applications such as Foursquare ...

We present a novel interactive learning-based method for curating datasets using user-defined criteria for training and refining Generative Adversarial Networks. We employ a novel batch-mode active learning strategy to ...

The goal of visual analytics is to create a symbiosis between human and computer by leveraging their unique strengths. While this model has demonstrated immense success, we are yet to realize the full potential of such a ...

While analysing and synthesising 2D distributions of points has been applied both to the generation of textures with discrete elements and for populating virtual worlds with 3D objects, the results are often inaccurate ...

Image- and data-parallel rendering across multiple nodes on high-performance computing systems is widely used in visualization to provide higher frame rates, support large data sets, and render data in situ. Specifically ...

In this paper, we introduce the CPatch, a curved primitive that can be used to construct arbitrary vector graphics. A CPatch is a generalization of a 2D polygon: Any number of curves up to a cubic degree bound a primitive. ...

Physically based rendering is a well‐understood technique to produce realistic‐looking images. However, different algorithms exist for efficiency reasons, which work well in certain cases but fail or produce rendering ...

We identify a novel parameterization for the group of finite rotations (SO), consisting of an atlas of exponential maps defined over local tangent planes, for the purpose of computing isometric transformations in registration ...
