This paper presents a novel fuzzy logic based approach for the interpretation of texture queries. Tamura feature extraction technique is used to extract each texture feature of an image in the database. A term set on each ...

The mediation of social presence is one of the most interesting challenges of modern communication technology. The proposed metaphor of Interactive Social Displays describes new ways of interactions with multi-/crossmodal ...

We present a fluid solver for the real-time interactive simulation of inviscid, ideal fluid flow. The simulation is based on the evolution of discrete vortex filaments, which allow a dramatic increase of detail and performance ...

The most popular approaches for the simulation of dynamic systems in computer graphics are force based. Internal and external forces are accumulated from which accelerations are computed based on Newton's second law of ...

We present a new real-time hydraulic erosion simulation for Computer Graphics. In our system water runs over the surface and disintegrates the underlying layer of soil. The grit is simulated as a fluid with higher viscosity ...

I propose criteria for collaborative vision applications where a camera user/operator and a computer work together to analyse a scene. An example of how these may be fulfilled is provided in IMP - an interactive mosaicing ...

CAD has been traditionally used to assist in engineering design and modeling for representation, analysis and manufacturing. Advances in Information Technology and in Biomedicine have created new uses for CAD with many ...

Several ownership management techniques have been proposed for maintaining consistency, one of the main factors in Collaborative Virtual Environments. However, few studies address the effect that network latency has on ...

Abstractly, machining a shape is rather a simple task, that is, one is merely asked to subtractively metamorphose a superset of stock material into the ultimate shape of a given geometric model. In practice, however, there ...

To render complex scenes on tiled displays efficiently modifications to the Chromium framework have been proposed that lead to significant lower processor and memory load on the client and a very effective utilization of ...
