This paper presents an automatic algorithm to construct smooth parametric surfaces using T-splines from z-map data. The algorithm begins with a rough surface approximation and then progressively refines it in the regions where the approximation accuracy does not meet the requirement. The topology of the resulting T-spline surface is determined adaptively based on the local geometric character of the input data and the geometry of the control points is obtained by a least squares procedure. The advantage of the approach is that the resulting surface is C2 continuous and the refinement is essentially local, resulting in a small number of control points for the surface.","PeriodicalId":286067,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd international conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques in Australasia and South East Asia","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115308453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We have introduced a velocity driven LOD, a new concept in using LOD in haptics. The aim of this approach differs from using LOD techniques in graphics. Our method simplifies the model according to the speed of the user's fingertip. The users fly quickly through the scene and get a rough overview of it. As they slow down, they obtain more and more details. We have enhanced this basic idea by smooth switching between two successive LODs and by mechanisms leading to a more natural perception of dynamically changing surfaces.","PeriodicalId":286067,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd international conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques in Australasia and South East Asia","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132348260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multi resolution representations are an important tool to adapt the tetrahedral mesh complexity to the current viewing parameters in real time rendering environments.We present a meshing framework that builds a compact multi resolution representation for large tetrahedral meshes. A preprocessing step simplifies the mesh into a binary vertex hierarchy which is used at run time to adapt the mesh to viewing parameters. Exploiting the redundancy in the connectivity information of the mesh enables us to store the vertex hierarchy compactly such that a vertex split or edge collapse can be performed by knowing incremental updates only.We integrated this multiresolution representation into a volume rendering environment that supports direct volume rendering as well as a new point based rendering approach.","PeriodicalId":286067,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd international conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques in Australasia and South East Asia","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134410375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We combine a hybrid geometric and image-based representation of a given 3D object to speed-up rendering at the cost of a little loss of visual accuracy.During a precomputation step, we store an image-based version of the original mesh by simply and quickly computing textures from viewpoints positionned around it by the user. During the rendering step, we use these textures in order to map on the fly colors and geometric details onto the surface of a low-polygon-count version of the mesh.Real-time rendering is achieved while combining up to three viewpoints at a time, using pixel shaders. No parameterization of the mesh is needed and occlusion effects are taken into account while computing on the fly the best viewpoints for a given pixel. Moreover, the integration of this method in common real-time rendering systems is straightforward and allows applying self-shadowing as well as other z-buffer effects.","PeriodicalId":286067,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd international conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques in Australasia and South East Asia","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121064719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there exist very few databases on which researchers can test iris recognition technology. We present a novel method to augment existing databases through iris image synthesis. A multiresolution technique known as reverse subdivision is used to capture the necessary characteristics from existing irises, which are then combined to form a new iris image. In order to improve the results, a set of heuristics to classify iris images is proposed. We analyze the performance of these heuristics and provide preliminary results of the iris synthesis method.","PeriodicalId":286067,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd international conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques in Australasia and South East Asia","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130579109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this reason, color transformation is one of the most important features in photo-editing or video post-production tools because even slight modifications of colors in an image can strongly increase its visual appeal. However, conventional color editing tools require user's manual operation for detailed color manipulation. Such manual operation becomes burden especially when editing video frame sequences. To avoid this problem, we previously suggested a method [Chang et al. 2004] that performs an example-based color stylization of images using perceptual color categories. In this paper, we extend this method to make the algorithm more robust and to stylize the colors of video frame sequences. The main extension is the following 5 points: applicable to images taken under a variety of light conditions; speeding up the color naming step; improving the mapping between source and reference colors when there is a disparity in size of the chromatic categories; separate handling of achromatic categories from chromatic categories; and extending the algorithm along the temporal axis to allow video processing. We present a variety of results, arguing that these images and videos convey a different, but coherent mood.","PeriodicalId":286067,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd international conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques in Australasia and South East Asia","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115995121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
