Autonomous surface reconstruction of 3D scenes has been intensely studied in recent years, however, it is still difficult to accurately reconstruct all the surface details of complex scenes with complicated object relations and severe occlusions, which ...

We present a geometric optimisation framework that can recover fold-over free maps from non-injective initial states using popular flip-preventing distortion energies. Since flip-preventing energies are infinite for folded configurations, we propose a new ...

Reconstruction of high-fidelity 3D objects or scenes is a fundamental research problem. Recent advances in RGB-D fusion have demonstrated the potential of producing 3D models from consumer-level RGB-D cameras. However, due to the discrete nature and ...

Establishing high-quality correspondence maps between geometric shapes has been shown to be the fundamental problem in managing geometric shape collections. Prior work has focused on computing efficient maps between pairs of shapes, and has shown a ...

Many applications in rendering rely on integrating functions over spherical polygons. We present a new numerical solution for computing the integral of spherical harmonics (SH) expansions clipped to polygonal domains. Our solution, based on zonal ...

We present RF-Capture, a system that captures the human figure -- i.e., a coarse skeleton -- through a wall. RF-Capture tracks the 3D positions of a person's limbs and body parts even when the person is fully occluded from its sensor, and does so ...

In this article, we propose an error-resilient transmission method for progressively compressed 3D models. The proposed method is scalable with respect to both channel bandwidth and channel packet-loss rate. We jointly design source and channel coders ...

We describe Chromium, a system for manipulating streams of graphics API commands on clusters of workstations. Chromium's stream filters can be arranged to create sort-first and sort-last parallel graphics architectures that, in many cases, support the ...

The weighted bicubic spline that is a C¹ piecewise bicubic interpolant to three-dimensional gridded data is introduced. This is a generalization of the univariate weighted spline, developed by Salkauskas, in that a weighted minimization problem is ...

A direct-manipulation user interface presents a set of visual representations on a display and a repertoire of manipulations that can be performed on any of them. Such representations might include screen buttons, scroll bars, spreadsheet cells, or ...

Ray tracing, ray casting, and other forms of point sampling are important techniques in computer graphics, but their usefulness has been undermined by aliasing artifacts. In this paper it is shown that these artifacts are not an inherent part of point ...
