Reviving the Roman Odeon of Aphrodisias: Dynamic Animation and Variety Control of Crowds in Virtual Heritage
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we propose a new method for rendering crowds of virtual humans with dynamically deformed skeletons with levels of detail using two simple caching schemes for animations and geometry. We show how the virtual heritage project ERATO pushed for these innovations as we did not find any off-theshelf products for the purpose. We also show how to create a large variety in appearance using graphics algorithm techniques that run on graphics cards with a fixed function pipeline support like the one of OpenGL 1.1.

Real-time Shader Rendering for Crowds in Virtual Heritage
We present a method of fully dynamically rendered virtual humans with variety in color, animation and appearance. This is achieved by using vertex and fragment shaders programmed in the OpenGL shading language (GLSL). We then compare our results with a fixed function pipeline based approach. We also show a color variety creation GUI using HSB color space restriction. An improved version of the ...
متن کاملReal Time Animation and Illumination in Ancient Roman Sites
The present article discusses and details the methodological approaches and the reconstruction strategies that have been employed to realize the 3D real-time virtual simulations of the populated ancient sites of Aspendos and Pompeii, respectively visualized using a virtual and an augmented reality setup. More specifically, the two case studies to which we refer concern the VR restitution of the...
متن کاملReal-time navigating crowds: scalable simulation and rendering
This paper introduces a framework for real-time simulation and rendering of crowds navigating in a virtual environment. The solution first consists in a specific environment preprocessing technique giving rise to navigation graphs, which are then used by the navigation and simulation tasks. Second, navigation planning interactively provides various solutions to the user queries, allowing to spr...
متن کاملAI and Virtual Crowds: Populating the Colosseum
Computer technologies and digital recreations have been widely used in the field of Cultural Heritage in the past decade. However, most of the effort has concentrated in accurate data gathering and geometrical representation of buildings and sites. Only very recently, works are starting to go beyond that approach by including digital people. The impressive development of computer graphics techn...
متن کاملTowards Interactive Real-Time Crowd Behavior Simulation
While virtual crowds are becoming common in non-real-time applications, the real-time domain is still relatively unexplored. In this paper we discuss the challenges involved in creating such simulations, especially the need to efficiently manage variety. We introduce the concept of levels of variety. Then we present our work on crowd behaviour simulation aimed at interactive real-time applicati...
