Chapter and Conference Paper
We propose an effective and efficient way to automatically predict clothes size for users to buy clothes online. We take human height and dressed-human silhouettes in front and side views as input, and estimat...
Chapter and Conference Paper
It is interesting to edit facial appearance in images to create a desirable facial shape of persons. In this paper, we propose a novel method to modify facial appearance by replacing facial parts between arbit...
Article
Vector graphic gives us a new solution to the representation of raster images. Among many types of vectorized representations, the most popular is mesh representation, which inherits the benefits of vector gra...
Article
We present an efficient and robust method which performs well for both strain limiting and treatment of simultaneous collisions. Our method formulates strain constraints and collision constraints as a serial o...
Article
In order to copy arbitrary irregular mesh between two models continuously, this paper presents an interactive mesh cloning approach based on pyramid spherical coordinates driven by boundary loop. The approach ...
Article
Detecting salient objects in challenging images attracts increasing attention as many applications require more robust method to deal with complex images from the Internet. Prior methods produce poor saliency ...
Article
As an important autumn feature, scenes with large numbers of falling leaves are common in movies and games. However, it is a challenge for computer graphics to simulate such scenes in an authentic and efficien...
Article
Using dark channel prior—a kind of statistics of the haze-free outdoor images—to remove haze from a single image input is simple and effective. However, due to the use of soft matting algorithm, the method suf...
Article
This paper presents a robust algorithm to recover high-frequency information from compressed low-resolution (LR) video sequences. Previous super-resolution (SR) approaches have succeeded in resolution enhancem...
Article
The generation of hexahedral meshes is an open problem that has undergone significant research. This paper deals with a novel inside-out advancing front method to generate unstructured all-hexahedral meshes fo...
Chapter and Conference Paper
We present a novel algorithm to partition large 3D meshes for GPU-based decompression. Our formulation focuses on minimizing the replicated vertices between patches, and balancing the numbers of faces of patch...
Article
We present an Environment-Sensitive image cloning technique which improves the previous gradient-based methods by taking into account the content of target scene. We create a reference image to represent the g...
Article
We present a novel and convenient method for producing selective stylized simplification of images. The user uses a brush to interactively mark certain areas of the input image which are to be left unaltered. ...
Article
This paper presents a variant of Haar-like feature used in Viola and Jones detection framework, called scattered rectangle feature, based on the common-component analysis of local region feature. Three common ...
Article
Assembly planning plays a major role in the manufacturing industry. In order to reduce computational complexity, this paper presents a knowledge-based approach to the assembly sequence planning problem. The CS...
Article
An important aspect of design for the life cycle is assessing the disassemblability of products. This paper presents a novel approach to automatic generation of disassembly sequence from hierarchical attribute...
