We introduce an interactive technique for manipulating simple 3D shapes based on
extracting them from a single photograph. Such extraction requires understanding of the …

We present a general approach to shape deformation based on energy minimization, and
applications of this approach to the problems of image resizing and 2D shape deformation …

In this paper, we propose the first sketching system for interactively personalized and
photorealistic face caricaturing. Input an image of a human face, the users can create …

Animation techniques for controlling liquid simulation are challenging: they commonly
require carefully setting initial and boundary conditions or performing a costly numerical …

A transmogrifier is a novel interface that enables quick, on-the-fly graphic transformations. A
region of a graphic can be specified by a shape and transformed into a destination shape …

(57) ABSTRACT A facility for visual search on a mobile device takes advan tage of multi-
modal and multi-touch input on the mobile device. By extracting lexical entities from a …

We present new algorithms for the compatible embedding of 2D shapes. Such embeddings
offer a convenient way to interpolate shapes having complex, detailed features. Compared …

We present a novel sketch-based 2D animation technique, which allows the user to produce
2D character animations efficiently. It consists of two parts, sketch-based skeleton-driven 2D …

A method of obtaining a three-dimensional digital model of an artificial object, made up of a
plurality of geometric primitives, the artificial object being in a single two-dimensional …

Traditional user interfaces in modeling have followed the WIMP (Window, Icon, Menu,
Pointer) paradigm. While functional and powerful, they can also be cumbersome and …
