Addressing the uncertainty and variability in the quality of 3D printed metals can further the wide spread use of this technology. Process mapping for new alloys is crucial for determining optimal process parameters that consistently…
Japanese comics (called manga) are traditionally created in monochrome format. In recent years, in addition to monochrome comics, full color comics, a more attractive medium, have appeared. Unfortunately, color comics require manual…
In the last few years, artistic image-making with deep learning models has gained a considerable amount of traction. A large number of these models operate directly in the pixel space and generate raster images. This is however not how most…
Texture mapping is a common technology in the area of computer graphics, it maps the 3D surface space onto the 2D texture space. However, the loose texture space will reduce the efficiency of data storage and GPU memory addressing in the…
An algorithm to generate the locus of a circle using the intersection points of straight lines is proposed. The pixels on the circle are plotted independent of one another and the operations involved in finding the locus of the circle from…
Motion blur is commonly used in game cinematics to achieve photorealism by modelling the behaviour of the camera shutter and simulating its effect associated with the relative motion of scene objects. A common real-time post-process…
The colorful appearance of a physical painting is determined by the distribution of paint pigments across the canvas, which we model as a per-pixel mixture of a small number of pigments with multispectral absorption and scattering…
The game industry is challenged to cope with increasing growth in demand and game complexity while maintaining acceptable quality standards for released games. Classic approaches solely depending on human efforts for quality assurance and…
A technique is developed using patent information available online (at the US Patent and Trademark Office) for the generation of Google Maps. The overlays indicate both the quantity and quality of patents at the city level. This information…
Lighting effects such as shadows or reflections are key in making synthetic images realistic and visually appealing. To generate such effects, traditional computer graphics uses a physically-based renderer along with 3D geometry. To…
Maximalism in art refers to drawing on and combining multiple different sources for art creation, embracing the resulting collisions and heterogeneity. This paper discusses the use of maximalism in game design and particularly in data…
Design patterns are elegant and well-tested solutions to recurrent software development problems. They are the result of software developers dealing with problems that frequently occur, solving them in the same or a slightly adapted way. A…
Creating and updating pixel art character sprites with many frames spanning different animations and poses takes time and can quickly become repetitive. However, that can be partially automated to allow artists to focus on more creative…
Grasp detection in cluttered scenes is a very challenging task for robots. Generating synthetic grasping data is a popular way to train and test grasp methods, as is Dex-net and GraspNet; yet, these methods generate training grasps on 3D…
A fundamental prerequisite for safe and efficient navigation of mobile robots is the availability of reliable navigation maps upon which trajectories can be planned. With the increasing industrial interest in mobile robotics, especially in…
Coloring games are combinatorial games where the players alternate painting uncolored vertices of a graph one of $k > 0$ colors. Each different ruleset specifies that game's coloring constraints. This paper investigates six impartial…
Traditional map-making relies heavily on Geographic Information Systems (GIS), requiring domain expertise and being time-consuming, especially for repetitive tasks. Recent advances in generative AI (GenAI), particularly image diffusion…
Graph colorings are becoming an increasingly useful family of mathematical models for a broad range of applications, such as time tabling and scheduling, frequency assignment, register allocation, computer security and so on. Graph proper…
Affine transformation, layer blending, and artistic filters are popular processes that graphic designers employ to transform pixels of an image to create a desired effect. Here, we examine various approaches that synthesize new images:…
The diversity of painting styles represents a rich visual vocabulary for the construction of an image. The degree to which one may learn and parsimoniously capture this visual vocabulary measures our understanding of the higher level…
