From finger animation to full-body embodiment of avatars with different morphologies and proportions

Mathias Guy Delahaye

VR (Virtual Reality) is a real-time simulation that creates the subjective illusion of being in a virtual world. This thesis explores how integrating the user's body and fingers can be achieved and beneficial for the user to experience VR. At the advent of ...

Real-time Self-contact Retargeting of Avatars down to Finger Level

Ronan Boulic, Bruno Herbelin, Mathias Guy Delahaye

We interact with the world through a body that includes hands and fingers. Likewise, providing an avatar allowing the control of a virtual body with fingers is an important step to improve the user experience in VR. When the user and their avatar skeleton ...

Differentiable Physically Based Rendering: Algorithms, Systems and Applications

Merlin Eléazar Nimier-David

Physically based rendering methods can create photorealistic images by simulating the propagation and interaction of light in a virtual scene. Given a scene description including the shape of objects, participating media, material properties, etc., the sim ...

HybridSDF: Combining Deep Implicit Shapes and Geometric Primitives for 3D Shape Representation and Manipulation

Pascal Fua, Pierre Bruno Baqué, Subeesh Vasu, Nicolas Talabot

Deep implicit surfaces excel at modeling generic shapes but do not always capture the regularities present in manufactured objects, which is something simple geometric primitives are particularly good at. In this paper, we propose a representation combinin ...

Robust Isometric Non-Rigid Structure-From-Motion

Shaifali Parashar

Non-Rigid Structure-from-Motion (NRSfM) reconstructs a deformable 3D object from keypoint correspondences established between monocular 2D images. Current NRSfM methods lack statistical robustness, which is the ability to cope with correspondence errors. T ...

Statistical Emulation of Neural Simulators: Application to Neocortical L2/3 Large Basket Cells

Idan Segev, Werner Alfons Hilda Van Geit

Many scientific systems are studied using computer codes that simulate the phenomena of interest. Computer simulation enables scientists to study a broad range of possible conditions, generating large quantities of data at a faster rate than the laboratory ...

Generating Smooth Pose Sequences for Diverse Human Motion Prediction

Mathieu Salzmann

Recent progress in stochastic motion prediction, i.e., predicting multiple possible future human motions given a single past pose sequence, has led to producing truly diverse future motions and even providing control over the motion of some body parts. How ...

Simultaneous 3D acquisition of H-1 MRF and Na-23 MRI

Tom Hilbert

Purpose To develop a 3D MR technique to simultaneously acquire proton multiparametric maps (T-1, T-2, and proton density) and sodium density weighted images over the whole brain. Methods We implemented a 3D stack-of-stars MR pulse sequence which consists o ...

DeepSVG: A Hierarchical Generative Network for Vector Graphics Animation

Alexandre Massoud Alahi

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) are ubiquitous in modern 2D interfaces due to their ability to scale to different resolutions. However, despite the success of deep learning-based models applied to rasterized images, the problem of vector graphics representa ...

Practical Product Path Guiding Using Linearly Transformed Cosines

Wenzel Alban Jakob

Path tracing is now the standard method used to generate realistic imagery in many domains, e.g., film, special effects, architecture etc. Path guiding has recently emerged as a powerful strategy to counter the notoriously long computation times required t ...

Flight of mind: Sensorimotor and multisensory embodiment with aviation robotics, flight simulator, and virtual reality

Myeong Seop Song

Normally, humans experience an 'I' as residing in one's body and as the agent of one's actions. In other words, the self is experienced as being inside the body (self-location), as having a body (self-identification), and as being able to control the perso ...

Attribute-Guided Sketch Generation

Yan Yan, Wei Wang

Facial attributes are important since they provide a detailed description and determine the visual appearance of human faces. In this paper, we aim at converting a face image to a sketch while simultaneously generating facial attributes. To this end, we pr ...

Reconciling Being in-Control vs. Being Helped for the Execution of Complex Movements in VR

Ronan Boulic, Bruno Herbelin, Thibault Serge Mario Porssut

Performing motor tasks in virtual environments is best achieved with motion capture and animation of a 3D character that participants control in real time and perceive as being their avatar in the virtual environment. A strong Sense of Embodiment (SoE) for ...

Learn to synthesize and synthesize to learn

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Seyedbehzad Bozorgtabar, Hazim Kemal Ekenel, Mohammad Saeed Rad

Attribute guided face image synthesis aims to manipulate attributes on a face image. Most existing methods for image-to-image translation can either perform a fixed translation between any two image domains using a single attribute or require training data ...
