Visual Computing

In this article, we present a novel display that is created using a group of mobile robots.

This paper presents a fully automated method to display objects and animations in 3D with a group of aerial vehicles.

In this work, we analyze and compare spatially-varying image warping techniques in terms of quality and computational performance.

In this paper, we describe an efficient ASIC core that is able to detect up to 25 k interest points in real time on a 720p video stream using the recently proposed Semantic Kernels Binarized (SKB) algorithm.

Computation of bending forces on triangle meshes is required for numerous simulation and geometry processing applications.

We present a new algorithm for near-interactive simulation of skeleton driven, high resolution elasticity models.

We show that physically based shading models fail to provide Intuitive artist controls and we introduce a novel approach for creating an art-directable hair shading model from existing physically based models.

We extend the Asynchronous Contact Mechanics algorithm [Harmon et al. 2009] and improve its performance by two orders of magnitude, using only optimizations that do not compromise ACM’s three guarantees of safety, progress, and correctness.

We present a fail-safe that cancels impact but not sliding motion, considerably reducing artificial dissipation.

Discriminative, or (structured) prediction, methods have proved effective for variety of problems in computer vision; a notable example is 3D monocular pose estimation.
