Simulation and skinning of heterogeneous texture detail deformation (2016)
Patent
Koniaris, C., Mitchell, K., & Cosker, D. (2016). Simulation and skinning of heterogeneous texture detail deformation. US2016133040

A method is disclosed for reducing distortions introduced by deformation of a surface with an existing parameterization. In an exemplary embodiment, the method comprises receiving a rest pose mesh comprising a plurality of faces, a rigidity map corre...

Real-time variable rigidity texture mapping (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Koniaris, C., Mitchell, K., & Cosker, D. (2015, November). Real-time variable rigidity texture mapping. Presented at Proceedings of the 12th European Conference on Visual Media Production - CVMP '15

Parameterisation of models is typically generated for a single pose, the rest pose. When a model deforms, its parameterisation characteristics change, leading to distortions in the appearance of texture-mapped mesostructure. Such distortions are unde...

Guided ecological simulation for artistic editing of plant distributions in natural scenes (2015)
Journal Article
Bradbury, G. A., Subr, K., Koniaris, C., Mitchell, K., & Weyrich, T. (2015). Guided ecological simulation for artistic editing of plant distributions in natural scenes. The Journal of Computer Graphics Techniques, 4(4), 28-53

In this paper we present a novel approach to author vegetation cover of large natural scenes. Unlike stochastic scatter-instancing tools for plant placement (such as multi-class blue noise generators), we use a simulation based on ecological processe...

Content aware texture mapping on deformable surfaces (2014)
Patent
Koniaris, C., Cosker, D., Yang, X., Mitchell, K., & Matthews, I. (2014). Content aware texture mapping on deformable surfaces. US2014267306

A method is disclosed for reducing distortions introduced by deformation of a surface with an existing parameterization. In one embodiment, the distortions are reduced over a user-specified convex region in texture space ensuring optimization is loca...

Survey of texture mapping techniques for representing and rendering volumetric mesostructure (2014)
Journal Article
Koniaris, B., Cosker, D., Yang, X., & Mitchell, K. (2014). Survey of texture mapping techniques for representing and rendering volumetric mesostructure. The Journal of Computer Graphics Techniques, 3(2), 18-60

Representation and rendering of volumetric mesostructure using texture mapping can potentially allow the display of highly detailed, animated surfaces at a low performance cost. Given the need for consistently more detailed and dynamic worlds rendere... Read More about Survey of texture mapping techniques for representing and rendering volumetric mesostructure.
