In this paper we present an automatic algorithm to detect basic shapes in unorganized point
clouds. The algorithm decomposes the point cloud into a concise, hybrid structure of …

Thoroughly revised, this third edition focuses on modern techniques used to generate
synthetic three-dimensional images in a fraction of a second. With the advent of …

The tremendous evolution of programmable graphics hardware has made high-quality real-
time volume graphics a reality. In addition to the traditional application of rendering volume …

A method for concise, faithful approximation of complex 3D datasets is key to reducing the
computational cost of graphics applications. Despite numerous applications ranging from …

The amount of captured 3D data is continuously increasing, with the democratization of
consumer depth cameras, the development of modern multi‐view stereo capture setups and …

Driven by demand from the entertainment industry for better and more realistic animation,
technology continues to evolve and improve. The algorithms and techniques behind this …

We present a suite of techniques for jointly optimizing triangle meshes and shading models
to match the appearance of reference scenes. This capability has a number of uses …

Image-based rendering (IBR) refers to a collection of techniques and representations that
allow 3D scenes and objects to be visualized in a realistic way without full 3D model …

We quantify the degree of lopsidedness for a sample of 149 galaxies observed in the near-
infrared from the OSUBGS sample, and try to explain the physical origin of the observed disk …

We propose a computational design approach to generate 3D models composed of
interlocking planar pieces. We show how intricate 3D forms can be created by sliding the …
