Towards Understanding the Impact of Guidance in Data Visualization Systems for Domain Experts Open
Guided data visualization systems are highly useful for domain experts to highlight important trends in their large-scale and complex datasets. However, more work is needed to understand the impact of guidance on interpreting data visualiz…
Perm: A Parametric Representation for Multi-Style 3D Hair Modeling Open
We present Perm, a learned parametric representation of human 3D hair designed to facilitate various hair-related applications. Unlike previous work that jointly models the global hair structure and local curl patterns, we propose to disen…
Remote Sensing and Machine Learning for Accurate Fire Severity Mapping in Northern Algeria Open
Forest fires pose a significant threat worldwide, with Algeria being no exception. In 2020 alone, Algeria witnessed devastating forest fires, affecting over 16,000 hectares of land, a phenomenon largely attributed to the impacts of climate…
Generating Procedural Materials from Text or Image Prompts Open
Node graph systems are used ubiquitously for material design in computer\ngraphics. They allow the use of visual programming to achieve desired effects\nwithout writing code. As high-level design tools they provide convenience and\nflexibi…
Node Graph Optimization Using Differentiable Proxies Open
Graph-based procedural materials are ubiquitous in content production industries. Procedural models allow the creation of photorealistic materials with parametric control for flexible editing of appearance. However, designing a specific ma…
Controlling Material Appearance by Examples Open
Despite the ubiquitousness of materials maps in modern rendering pipelines, their editing and control remains a challenge. In this paper, we present an example-based material control method to augment input material maps based on user-prov…
NeMF: Neural Motion Fields for Kinematic Animation Open
We present an implicit neural representation to learn the spatio-temporal space of kinematic motions. Unlike previous work that represents motion as discrete sequential samples, we propose to express the vast motion space as a continuous f…
An Inverse Procedural Modeling Pipeline for SVBRDF Maps Open
Procedural modeling is now the de facto standard of material modeling in industry. Procedural models can be edited and are easily extended, unlike pixel-based representations of captured materials. In this article, we present a semi-automa…
The Role of Subsurface Scattering in Glossiness Perception Open
This study investigates the potential impact of subsurface light transport on gloss perception for the purposes of broadening our understanding of visual appearance in computer graphics applications. Gloss is an important attribute for cha…

Countering Racial Bias in Computer Graphics Research Open
Current computer graphics research practices contain racial biases that have resulted in investigations into "skin" and "hair" that focus on the hegemonic visual features of Europeans and East Asians. To broaden our research horizons to en…
Reconstructing Dura-Europos From Sparse Photo Collections Using Deep Contour Extraction Open
In this short paper we present work in progress on creating tools to facilitate 3D reconstruction of cultural heritage. We propose three new types of tools to make reconstruction easier - first we fetch linked open data to help organize so…
A Low-Dimensional Perceptual Space for Intuitive BRDF Editing Open
Understanding and characterizing material appearance based on human perception is challenging because of the highdimensionality and nonlinearity of reflectance data. We refer to the process of identifying specific characteristics of materi…
Art and Cultural Heritage Open
Computer graphics has an application in virtually every area of human activity. In this Special Issue, we focus on applications in art and cultural heritage. For decades now graphics has played a role in the digitization, restoration, cons…
Content Generation for Workforce Training Open
Efficient workforce training is needed in today's world in which technology is continually changing the nature of work. Students need to be prepared to enter the workforce. Employees need to become lifelong learners to stay up-to-date in t…
A novel framework for inverse procedural texture modeling Open
Procedural textures are powerful tools that have been used in graphics for decades. In contrast to the alternative exemplar-based texture synthesis techniques, procedural textures provide user control and fast texture generation with low-s…
Automatic Algorithms For Medieval Manuscript Analysis Open
Massive digital acquisition and preservation of deteriorating historical and artistic documents is of particular importance due to their value and fragile condition. The study and browsing of such digital libraries is invaluable for schola…
New Haven Building Archive: A Database for the Collection, Study, and Communication of Local Built Heritage Open
The New Haven Building Archive (NHBA) is a digital, mobile, and interactive field guide to New Haven, Connecticut's built heritage. As an interactive digital guide and database for local buildings, the NHBA harnesses digital mapping techno…
