We present algorithms for fully automatic volume filtering, boundary segmentation and skeletonization, and demonstrate their applications in cell and molecular tomographic imaging. We also introduce an interactive volumetric exploration tool (Volume Rover), which encapsulates implementations of the above filtering, and curve/surface feature extraction algorithms, and additionally uses multi-res...

Implicit surface generation based on the interpolation of points is one well-known modeling methods in area computer graphics. Several for implicit reconstruction from have been proposed basis radial functions, a weighted sum local splines, wavelets, and combinations them. However, if contain errors or are sparsely distributed, irregular components, such as curvature-shaped redundant bulges une...

This paper presents a rapid method to render dynamic water surfaces with penetrating obstacles in real-time. Taking the surface boundary into account, our method allows the rendering of single reflections and single refractions of objects even intersecting the water surface, including a physically approximative perspective refraction mapping. Thereby, water surfaces are represented as 2.5D heig...

The “Interactive Documents” system augments printed documents that are placed upon a planar surface (e.g., a desk or a table) with multimedia content and interactive applications. Using a projector above the surface, augmented content is dynamically displayed around and upon the printed document, aligned in real-time with its 2D location and posture. The system was developed in the context of t...

The present project is an interactive audiovisual creation, a sound and vision installation where the user interactively activates sound in its analog form. The sound is used to influence a physical medium (in this case a tank full of water) producing an image through the turbulences on its surface. This image, properly illuminated, is reflected and visualised in space. The installation is desi...

The number of ”interactive surface” systems, especially tabletop interfaces, in public is increasing. As more and more casual users interact with such systems, they may wish to use existing computing infrastructure, such as their mobile phone, in conjunction with the new interface. In this paper, we present a method to reliably detect and track unmodified mobile phones that are placed upon an i...

This chapter focuses on the surface of a smart garment as a dynamic interface. The use of the garment’s surface as an interactive display opens up an array of new applications. Novel developments in interactive and wearable textile surfaces for garments display data from input sources like sensors and cell phones. The integration of these surfaces into the garments is evaluated regarding wearab...
