DyNCA: Real-time Dynamic Texture Synthesis Using Neural Cellular Automata

Sabine Süsstrunk, Ehsan Pajouheshgar, Yitao Xu, Tong Zhang

Current Dynamic Texture Synthesis (DyTS) models can synthesize realistic videos. However, they require a slow iterative optimization process to synthesize a single fixed-size short video, and they do not offer any post-training control over the synthesis p ...

Meshing of Spiny Neuronal Morphologies using Union Operators

Felix Schürmann, Marwan Muhammad Ahmed Abdellah, Elvis Boci, Nadir Roman Guerrero, Juan José García Cantero, Alessandro Enrico Foni

Neurons are characterized by thin and long interleaving arborizations in which creating accurate mesh models of their cellular membranes is challenging. While union operators are central for CAD/CAM modeling and computer graphics applications, their applic ...

How daylight representation in architectural competitions images can lead to an erroneous interpretation of projects

Bernard Paule, Joshua Pereira

The digital world we are living in today offers viewers an experience of buildings before they even exist. This experience is no longer just geometric or descriptive, but also sensory. It generates emotions through fixed or animated images of 3 dimensional ...

Image-Based Acquisition and Modeling of Polarimetric Reflectance

Wenzel Alban Jakob, Tizian Lucien Zeltner, Xin Tong

Realistic modeling of the bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) of scene objects is a vital prerequisite for any type of physically based rendering. In the last decades, the availability of databases containing real-world material measurem ...

A Learned Shape-Adaptive Subsurface Scattering Model

Wenzel Alban Jakob, Delio Aleardo Vicini

Subsurface scattering, in which light refracts into a translucent material to interact with its interior, is the dominant mode of light transport in many types of organic materials. Accounting for this phenomenon is thus crucial for visual realism, but exp ...

The effects of visual realism, spatial abilities, and competition on performance in map-based route learning in men

John Christian Thoresen, Rebecca Francelet

We report on how visual realism might influence map-based route learning performance in a controlled laboratory experiment with 104 male participants in a competitive context. Using animations of a dot moving through routes of interest, we find that partic ...

Transverse mode coupling instability of colliding beams

Xavier Buffat, Tatiana Pieloni, Nicolas Frank Mounet

In high brightness circular colliders, coherent and incoherent beam dynamics are dominated by beam-beam interactions. It is generally assumed that the incoherent tune spread introduced by the beam-beam interactions is sufficiently large to cure any instabi ...

A Neuromuscular Model for Symbiotic Man-Machine Exoskeleton Control Accounting for Patient Impairment Specificity

Auke Ijspeert, Florin Dzeladini, Etienne Burdet

Millions of people worldwide live with impaired locomotion. The degree of impairment is highly variable and the causes are multiple. This variation necessitates the design of a new generation of exoskeleton controllers for personalised, symbiotic man-machi ...

Estimation of bid functions for location choice and price modeling with a latent variable approach

Michel Bierlaire, Ricardo Daniel Hurtubia González

A new approach for the estimation of bid-rent functions for residential location choice is proposed. The method is based on the bid-auction approach and considers that the expected maximum bid of the auction is a latent variable that can be related to obse ...

Sentiment analysis of informal textual communication in cyberspace

Daniel Thalmann, Stéphane Gobron

The ability to correctly identify the existence and polarity of emotion in informal, textual communication is a very important part of a realistic and immersive 3D environment where people communicate with one another through avatars or with an automated s ...

On inconsistent entities. A reply to Colyvan

Francesco Piazza

In a recent article M. Colyvan has argued that Quinean forms of scientific realism are faced with an unexpected upshot. Realism concerning a given class of entities, along with this route to realism, can be vindicated by running an indispensability argumen ...

Mammographic texture synthesis: second-generation clustered lumpy backgrounds using a genetic algorithm

François Bochud, Cyril Castella

Synthetic yet realistic images are valuable for many applications in visual sciences and medical imaging. Typically, investigators develop algorithms and adjust their parameters to generate images that are visually similar to real images. In this study, we ...

Augmented reality for non-rigid surfaces

Julien Pilet

Augmented Reality (AR) is the process of integrating virtual elements in reality, often by mixing computer graphics into a live video stream of a real scene. It requires registration of the target object with respect to the cameras. To this end, some appro ...

Mobile museum guide based on fast SIFT recognition

Effrosyni Kokiopoulou, Boris Ruf

This article explores the feasibility of a market-ready, mo- bile pattern recognition system based on the latest findings in the field of object recognition and currently available hardware and network technology. More precisely, an innovative, mobile muse ...

Virtual humans: thirty years of research, what next?

Daniel Thalmann

In this paper, we present research results and future challenges in creating realistic and believable virtual humans. To realize these modeling goals, real-time realistic representation is essential, but we also need interactive and perceptive virtual huma ...
