This survey reviews the recent advances in linear variational mesh deformation techniques.
These methods were developed for editing detailed high-resolution meshes like those …

Creating photorealistic avatars of existing people currently requires extensive person-
specific data capture, which is usually only accessible to the VFX industry and not the …

Virtual reality (VR) offers an artificial, computer generated simulation of a real life
environment. It originated in the 1960s and has evolved to provide increasing immersion …

High-dimensional nonlinear state estimation is at the heart of inertial-aided navigation
systems (INS). Traditional methods usually rely on good initialization and find difficulty in …

Online reconstruction based on RGB-D sequences has thus far been restrained to relatively
slow camera motions (< 1m/s). Under very fast camera motion (eg, 3m/s), the reconstruction …

We present FaceWarehouse, a database of 3D facial expressions for visual computing
applications. We use Kinect, an off-the-shelf RGBD camera, to capture 150 individuals aged …

Modeling tasks, such as surface deformation and editing, can be analyzed by observing the
local behavior of the surface. We argue that defining a modeling operation by asking for …

We present an algorithm that generates natural and intuitive deformations via direct
manipulation for a wide range of shape representations and editing scenarios. Our method …

In this correspondence, we propose a novel method to extract illumination insensitive
features for face recognition under varying lighting called the Gradientfaces. Theoretical …

Direction fields and vector fields play an increasingly important role in computer graphics
and geometry processing. The synthesis of directional fields on surfaces, or other spatial …
