While 3D object representations are being revived in the context of multi-view object class
detection and scene understanding, they have not yet attained wide-spread use in fine …

This paper deals with the problem of taking random samples over the surface of a 3D mesh
describing and evaluating efficient algorithms for generating different distributions. We …

Inspection of ship hulls and marine structures using autonomous underwater vehicles has
emerged as a unique and challenging application of robotics. The problem poses rich …

Digitalization is revolutionizing our way of life and catalyzing the transformation into smart
city. Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) being an indispensable component of smart city …

In this paper we describe sample elimination for generating Poisson disk sample sets with a
desired size. We introduce a greedy sample elimination algorithm that assigns a weight to …

We present a system for producing 3D animations using physical objects (ie, puppets) as
input. Puppeteers can load 3D models of familiar rigid objects, including toys, into our …

The ability to place surface samples with Poisson disk distribution can benefit a variety of
graphics applications. Such a distribution satisfies the blue noise property, ie lack of low …

In this paper, we survey recent approaches to blue-noise sampling and discuss their
beneficial applications. We discuss the sampling algorithms that use points as sampling …

Sampling is a core process for a variety of graphics applications. Among existing sampling
methods, blue noise sampling remains popular thanks to its spatial uniformity and absence …

We propose a novel smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) formulation for deformable
solids. Key aspects of our method are implicit elastic forces and an adapted SPH formulation …
