In particular, there is a need of new technologies (often referred to as Web3D) to create and manipulate interactive three-dimensional (3D) environments on the Web. A major problem in this subject is the lack of specialized 3D graphics libraries for Internet, with similar functionalities to those of OpenGL for standalone applications. Although several APIs (Java3D, GJ4JAVA, JOGL, LWJGL, jGL) have been proposed to tackle this issue, none of them has become an official part of core Java package so far. Consequently, it is still hard to build reliable Internet-oriented 3D graphics programs providing the web users with the same realism and interactivity usually found on standalone applications. This paper proposes a based-on-Java framework to develop interactive 3D graphics applications embedded in web pages. Our approach is not based on the development of new programming tools, the emphasis being placed upon the careful selection of already existing technologies (also described in this paper) that provide the best results for our goals along with the optimized design of the workflow. Some applications aimed at showing the potential of our approach are also briefly reported.","PeriodicalId":433577,"journal":{"name":"Computer Graphics, Imaging and Visualisation (CGIV 2007)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134311769","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}

To save the storage space and to reduce the bandwidth for communication; the image is to be compressed. Recently the multi-resolution technique by wavelet transform has emerged as a cutting edge technology within the field of image analysis and compression. Relatively new class of wavelets called multiwavelet; are new addition to the body of wavelet theory. Realizable as matrix-valued filter banks leading to wavelet basis, were introduced and which are able to posses all desirable properties like orthogonality, symmetry, and short support etc. simultaneously, which are needed for better performance compression. In this paper we have proposed a heterogeneous wavelet filter approach for MRI image compression. The performance of the proposed method is compared and analyzed in detail and the promising results and findings are presented.","PeriodicalId":433577,"journal":{"name":"Computer Graphics, Imaging and Visualisation (CGIV 2007)","volume":"136 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131412784","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}

An upper facial action units recognition method based on KPCA and SVM is presented in this paper. In this method, KPCA algorithm which is formed by choosing and designing kernel function in terms of visual features of upper facial action units is used to extract the upper facial action unit feature and the two features associated with illumination effect are removed. Then the optimal kernel function and chastisement factor in SVM algorithm are determined by experiments. Finally the SVM is used to classify and recognize action units. This method is tested on the Cohn-Kanade 's facial expression image database. The average recognition rate achieves 90.6% and the recognition speed is also fast. The experiments show that this method is not sensitive to illumination and individual difference and can be used to real time recognition.","PeriodicalId":433577,"journal":{"name":"Computer Graphics, Imaging and Visualisation (CGIV 2007)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123686796","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}

This method is based on the geometry image which is created by the parameterization and sampling of the model. The geometry image except the boundary is partitioned into several sub-images of equal size. Every sub-image is normalized and decomposed with two-dimensional Haar wavelet. The watermark is embedded into the low components of the wavelet coefficients with the LSB method. Other conventional 2D image watermarking methods could also be applied. The watermarked model is reconstructed from the embedded geometry image. For the extraction of the watermark, the original model is not required. Experimental results show the proposed algorithm is robust against the attacks such as translation, scaling, rotation, local deformation and certain amplitude of noise disturbance.","PeriodicalId":433577,"journal":{"name":"Computer Graphics, Imaging and Visualisation (CGIV 2007)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125357612","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}

Adaptive sampling is an appealing tool to eliminate noise, which is one of the main problems of Monte Carlo based global illumination algorithms. In this paper, we investigate the use of entropy in the domain of information theory to measure pixel quality and to do adaptive sampling. Especially we explore the nonextensive Tsallis entropy, in which a real number q is introduced as the entropic index that presents the degree of nonextensivity, to evaluate pixel quality. By utilizing the least-squares design, an entropic index q can be obtained systematically to run adaptive sampling effectively. Implementation results show that the Tsallis entropy driven adaptive sampling significantly outperforms the existing methods.","PeriodicalId":433577,"journal":{"name":"Computer Graphics, Imaging and Visualisation (CGIV 2007)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125174957","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}

During retrieval, the same profile could be extracted from the user specified word and can be matched with the word images in the document. This yields a faster result even in a quality-degraded document. This kind of Information Retrieval (Keyword Based Search) can be adapted in Digital Libraries, which employs digitized documents instead of text processing.
