Implicit volumes are known for their ability to represent smooth shapes of arbitrary topology
thanks to hierarchical combinations of primitives using a structure called a blobtree. We …

We propose a novel way to efficiently calculate soft shadows in real-time applications by
overcoming the high computational effort involved with the complex corresponding visibility …

We present an algorithm for realtime rendering of large‐scale city models with procedurally
generated facades. By using highly detailed assets like windows, doors, and decoration …

In this paper, we present a particle-based fluid simulation method with deforming obstacles.
For defining the geometric information of time-varying obstacles, we employ the implicit …

Driven by the need for faster and more efficient workflows in the digitization of urban
environments, the availability of affordable 3D data-acquisition systems for buildings has …

In this paper, we propose a novel, full-body, real-time 3D reconstruction framework that
makes use of pre-scanned body parts (more precisely pre-scanned 3D heads) so as to …

There are several approaches to representing shapes in computer graphics. One of the
ways to describe objects and operations is Function Representation (FRep). In FRep, a …

The main question explored in this thesis is how to define novel parallel random-access
data structures for surface and image spatial data with efficient construction, storage, and …
