We present a novel physics-based approach to facial animation. Contrary to commonly used generative methods, our solution computes facial expressions by minimizing a set of non-linear potential energies that model the physical interaction of passive flesh, ...
Lighting simulation plays a significant role in the architectural design and evaluation of performance parameters of buildings. The general method of assuming a virtual sky in lighting simulation may lead to mismatch with the real situation, which conventi ...
Popularization of online photo sharing brings people great convenience, but has also raised concerns for privacy. Researchers proposed various approaches to enable image privacy, most of which focus on encrypting or distorting image visual content. In this ...
In this thesis, we present a novel generic and unifying framework for data-adaptive shape modeling. Our work is motivated by the raising need for powerful geometric modeling kernels that are required for shape characterization in biomedical imaging. The on ...
This thesis addresses the problem of recovering the 3-D shape of a deformable object in single images, or image sequences acquired by a monocular video camera, given that a 3-D template shape and a template image of the object are available. While being a ...
Embodiments relate to a method for real-time facial animation, and a processing device for real-time facial animation. The method includes providing a dynamic expression model, receiving tracking data corresponding to a facial expression of a user, estimat ...
Capturing and processing human geometry, appearance, and motion is at the core of computer graphics, computer vision, and human-computer interaction. The high complexity of human geometry and motion dynamics, and the high sensitivity of the human visual sy ...
Currently, the two main approaches to realistic facial animation are 1) blendshape models and 2) physics-based simulation. Blendshapes are fast and directly controllable, but it is not easy to incorporate features such as dynamics, collision resolution, or ...
Imaging modalities such as Electron Microscopy (EM) and Light Microscopy (LM) can now deliver high-quality, high-resolution image stacks of neural structures. Though these imaging modalities can be used to analyze a variety of components that are critical ...
Manual software testing is laborious and prone to human error. Yet, among practitioners, it is the most popular method for quality assurance. Automating the test case generation promises better effectiveness, especially for exposing corner-case bugs. Symbo ...
The presence of vegetation can significantly affect the solar irradiation received on building surfaces. Due to the complex shape and seasonal variability of vegetation geometry, this topic has gained much attention from researchers. However, existing meth ...
