3D acquisition of archaeological artefacts has become an essential part of cultural heritage research for preservation or restoration purpose. Statues, in particular, have been at the center of many projects. In this paper, we introduce a…
This paper introduces a new approach for the automated reconstruction - reassembly of fragmented objects having one surface near to plane, on the basis of the 3D representation of their constituent fragments. The whole process starts by 3D…
Google Earth (GE) has become a powerful tool for geological modeling and visualization. An interesting and useful feature of GE, Google Street View, can allow the GE users to view geological structure such as layers of rock masses at a…
Direct Volume Rendering is a popular and powerful visualization method for voxel data and other volumetric scalar data sets. Particularly, in medical applications volume rendering is very commonly used, and has become one of the state of…
The paper concerns clustering with respect to the shape and size of 2D contours that are boundaries of cross-sections of 3D objects of revolution. We propose a number of similarity measures based on combined disparate Procrustes analysis…
We study a three-dimensional analogue to the well-known graph visualization approach known as arc diagrams. We provide several algorithms that achieve good angular resolution for 3D arc diagrams, even for cases when the arcs must project to…
In this work, the artistic style of the sixteenth century Portuguese artist Ant\'onio Campelo in Alegoria \`a Prud\^encia is analyzed in order to create a computational tool that allows one to transform any 3D digital sculpture model into…
Clustering artworks based on style can have many potential real-world applications like art recommendations, style-based search and retrieval, and the study of artistic style evolution of an artist or in an artwork corpus. We introduce and…
Inspired by the success of volumetric 3D pose estimation, some recent human mesh estimators propose to estimate 3D skeletons as intermediate representations, from which, the dense 3D meshes are regressed by exploiting the mesh topology.…
This paper presents a new technique for the virtual reality (VR) visu-alization of complex volume images obtained from computer tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) by combining three-dimensional (3D) mesh processing and…
The ability to estimate the 3D human shape and pose from images can be useful in many contexts. Recent approaches have explored using graph convolutional networks and achieved promising results. The fact that the 3D shape is represented by…
We present a comparison review that evaluates popular techniques for garment draping for 3D fashion design, virtual try-ons, and animations. A comparative study is performed between various methods for garment draping of clothing over the…
This paper describes a simulator of ultrasound-guided prostate biopsies for cancer diagnosis. When performing biopsy series, the clinician has to move the ultrasound probe and to mentally integrate the real-time bi-dimensional images into a…
3D modeling of articulated objects is a research problem within computer vision, graphics, and robotics. Its objective is to understand the shape and motion of the articulated components, represent the geometry and mobility of object parts,…
Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) is a carefully planned systematic process with the purpose of acquiring physical evidences to shed light upon the physical reality of the crime and eventually detect the identity of the criminal. Capturing…
Puzzle solving is a difficult problem in its own right, even when the pieces are all square and build up a natural image. But what if these ideal conditions do not hold? One such application domain is archaeology, where restoring an…
Objective The 3D printed medical models can come from virtual digital resources, like CT scanning. Nevertheless, the accuracy of CT scanning technology is limited, which is 1mm. In this situation, the collected data is not exactly the same…
We introduce Artifact-Based Rendering (ABR), a framework of tools, algorithms, and processes that makes it possible to produce real, data-driven 3D scientific visualizations with a visual language derived entirely from colors, lines,…
In this paper, we propose using curvatures in digital space for 3D object analysis and recognition. Since direct adjacency has only six types of digital surface points in local configurations, it is easy to determine and classify the…
It is human to want to touch artworks, to feel their surface curvature and texture, their shapes and structures, and to feel the hand of the artist. Museum guards need to be constantly vigilant to protect art objects from adoring and…
