Stop motion animation evolved in the early days of cinema with the aim to create an illusion of movement with static puppets posed manually each frame. Current stop motion movies introduced 3D printing processes in order to acquire animations more ac... Read More about Props Alive: A Framework for Augmented Reality Stop Motion Animation.

Enhanced Shadow Retargeting with Light-Source Estimation Using Flat Fresnel Lenses (2019)
Journal Article

Shadow-retargeting maps depict the appearance of real shadows to virtual shadows given corresponding deformation of scene geometry, such that appearance is seamlessly maintained. By performing virtual shadow reconstruction from unoccluded real-shadow... Read More about Enhanced Shadow Retargeting with Light-Source Estimation Using Flat Fresnel Lenses.
