Interactive Computer Graphics: The Arms Race

Computer Vision for Interactive Computer Graphics

Computers looking through a camera at people is a potentially powerful technique to facilitate human-computer interaction. The computer can interpret the userś movements, gestures, and glances. Fundamental visual algorithms include tracking, shape recognition, and motion analysis. We describe several vision algorithms for interactive graphics, and present various vision controlled graphics appl...

The Computer "Scientist" as Toolsmith-Studies in Interactive Computer Graphics

THE DESIGN, MODELING AND EVALUATION OF POTENTIAL HIV PROTEASE INHIBITORS USING BLITZ, AN INTERACTIVE COMPUTER GRAPHICS WORKING TOOL

Several nonpeptide small molecules were designed as potential inhibitors of HIV protease and their structures were constructed by computer-aided molecular modeling and docked iwo the active site of HIV protease. Models of the complexes of inhibitors and the HIV protease were refined using nonbonded and H-bonding terms. The refined energy of selected complexes showed that the designed inhib...

Interactive Spacetime Reconstruction in Computer Graphics

High-quality dense spatial and/or temporal reconstructions and correspondence maps from camera images, be it optical flow, stereo or scene flow, are an essential prerequisite for a multitude of computer vision and graphics tasks, e.g. scene editing or view interpolation in visual media production. Due to the ill-posed nature of the estimation problem in typical setups (i.e. limited amount of ca...

Interactive Graphics for Computer Adaptive Testing

Interactive graphics are commonly used in games and have been shown to be successful in attracting the general audience. Instead of computer games, animations, cartoons, and videos being used only for entertainment, there is now an interest in using interactive graphics for “innovative testing.” Rather than traditional pen-and-paper tests, audio, video and graphics are being conceived as altern...
