It provides both an application programming interface (API) for creating new processing filters and a graphical user interface (GUI) that facilitates the integration of new filters as plugins. Static and dynamic 3D meshes and point clouds with appearance-related attributes (color, texture information, normal) are supported. The strength of the platform is to be generic programming oriented. It offers an abstraction layer, based on C++ Concepts, that provides interoperability over several third party mesh and point cloud data structures, such as OpenMesh, CGAL, and PCL. Generic code can be run on all data structures implementing the required concepts, which allows for performance and memory footprint comparison. Our platform also permits to create complex processing pipelines gathering idiosyncratic functionalities of the different libraries. We provide examples of such applications. MEPP2 runs on Windows, Linux & Mac OS X and is intended for engineers, researchers, but also students thanks to simple use, facilitated by the proposed architecture and extensive documentation.","PeriodicalId":72958,"journal":{"name":"Eurographics ...

In this paper we significantly extend the STB method to make it possible to deal with heterogeneous objects, which are volumetric objects with attributes representing their physical properties. The STB method, used for geometry transformation, is naturally combined with space-time transfinite interpolation, used for attribute (e.g. colour) transformation. Geometry and attribute transformations are interconnected and happen simultaneously in an higher dimensional specific STB space. We use hybrid function representation, unifying function representation with signed distance fields and with adaptively sampled distance fields. We show how the new method works by applying it to 4D animated Cubism.","PeriodicalId":72958,"journal":{"name":"Eurographics ... Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval : EG 3DOR.

The main objective is to minimize user intervention and make interaction as natural as with the flood-fill algorithm while extending coloring to regions with open contours. In particular, we want to save the user from worrying about parameters such as stroke weight and size. Our solution works in two steps, 1) a segmentation step in which the input sketch is automatically divided into regions based on the underlying Delaunay structure and 2) the interactive grouping of neighboring regions based on user input. More precisely, a region adjacency graph is computed from the segmentation result, and is interactively partitioned based on user input to generate the final colored sketch. Results show that our method is as natural as a bucket fill tool and powerful enough to color minimalist sketches.","PeriodicalId":72958,"journal":{"name":"Eurographics ...

This makes PCF applicable to new problems such as the inpainting of missing parts in an input distribution, or the decomposition of complex, non-homogeneous distributions into a set of coherent classes, in which each category of points can be studied together with their intra and inter-class correlations.","PeriodicalId":72958,"journal":{"name":"Eurographics ...

For the last 30 years, numerous strategies have been developed to address this problem but choosing the best one is really scene-dependent. Multiple Importance Sampling (MIS) emerges as a potential generic solution by combining different weighted strategies, to take advantage of the best ones. Most recent work have focused on defining the best weighting scheme. Among them, two paper have shown that it is possible, in the context of direct illumination, to estimate the best way to balance the number of samples between two strategies, on a per-pixel basis. In this paper, we extend this previous approach to Global Illumination and to three strategies.","PeriodicalId":72958,"journal":{"name":"Eurographics ... Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval : EG 3DOR.

His drawings include many stylistic elements that are not covered by existing storyline visualizations, like links between entities, splits and merges of streams, and tags or labels to describe the individual elements. We present a visualization method that provides a visual mapping for the complex relationships in the data, creates a layout for their display, and adopts a similar styling of elements to imitate the artistic appeal of such illustrations.
