< keynote lecture > Y.Z. Yu, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Visualization of Hierarchical Information on Mobile Screens Many hard problems become tractable with the availability of large datasets. This is Kang Zhang also true for digital photo editing and enhancement. In this talk, I present two pieces of Director of Visual Computing Lab, University of Texas at Dallas , USA work in this category. The first one is on data-driven image color theme editing, and the second one on example-based color and tone enhancement based on learned styles. Visualizing and exploring a hierarchical structure on small screen devices, such as It is often important for designers and photographers to convey or enhance mobile phones, is a challenge. On the screens of desktop PCs and laptops, such desired color themes in their work. I present a data-driven method for enhancing hierarchical structures are often shown in a tabular view. Due to the size particularly the a desired color theme in a digital photo. We formulate our goal as a unified optimization width restriction, a tabular view is not suited for mobile screens. This talk discusses a that simultaneously considers a desired color theme, texture-color relationships as well visualization technique that displays multiple levels of a hierarchy on a single view and as automatic or user-specified color constraints. Quantifying the difference between an allows users to explore the hierarchical structure rapidly through touch input. The image and a color theme is made possible by color emotion spaces. We incorporate visualization technique makes full use of the available space and flexibly allocates the prior knowledge, such as texture-color relationships, extracted from a database of space for individual nodes according to the application criteria. The approach adapts photographs to maintain a natural look of the edited photos. Experiments and a user the selection and display of relevant information based on the user’s query habit, by study have confirmed the effectiveness of our method. hiding less important information to maximize the utilization of the space. We have conducted a user study to compare our visualization and navigation approach with the Color and tone adjustments are among the most frequent image enhancement list-based approach on most of the current mobile phones, and will report our findings. operations. In the second piece of work, our goal was to learn implicit color and tone adjustment rules from examples. We define tone and color adjustment rules as mappings, and propose to approximate complicated spatially varying nonlinear Short Biography mappings in a piecewise manner.

We assign different weights for color and grey-level features according to the characteristics of the input texture. The results show that the proposed approach performs well in terms of the synthesis quality.
Iterated Graph Cut Integrating Texture Characterization for Interactive Image Session cgiv2013_1.2: Computer Graphic, Visualisation and Segmentation Imaging Application Ning-Yu AN, Chi Man PUN Chair: Sarah Kenderdine, Visiting Assoc. Prof. CityU, Hong Kong, Director of Centre for Innovation in Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums Graph cuts based interactive segmentation has drawn a lot of attention in recent years. In original graph cuts, the extraction of foreground object from its background often (iGLAM) and Director of Research for Applied Laboratory of Interactive leads to many mistakes and the histogram distribution for energy function is not Visualization and Embodiment (ALiVE) Special Projects: Museum Victoria enough. In this paper, an iterated graph cut algorithm integrating texture Adjunct Professor: RMIT University characterization is proposed. We utilize user intervention to cycle the object approximately in the beginning, and the image is divided into superpixels by “SLIC” Real-time rendering of rough refraction under dynamically varying environmental method. After initialization Gaussian mixture model (GMM) by RGB colors, we use a lighting vector which combines color model and texture description for the estimation of GMM Tianchao Lu, Jie Guo, Jingui Pan parameters. Then min-cut algorithm is applied in the graph for energy minimization, so GMM adjust their clusters and re-compute the parameters. The process iterates until The illumination of rough refraction is challenging due to the complex integrations of min-cut algorithm converges. Finally, we give a comparison between our method and scattered lights from multiple directions. Prefiltered environment map is able to “GrabCut”. The experiments show that our have good results. eliminate the comprehensive integrations, but the precomputation stage protects it from being adapted into dynamically varying environmental lighting. We propose a real-time method for rendering rough refraction, supporting dynamically changing lighting, geometries and materials.

The results prove that simulating posture and walking pattern deterioration Pai-Feng Lee in older characters does significantly improve biomechanical diversity within a virtual 3D animations have been widely used in the movie and gaming industries. However, human crowd. the huge storage re-quirements of dynamic mesh data make it difficult for a number of applications such as rendering, transmitting over a network, etc. This study proposes a multiresolution representation for 3D animation. The results Session cgiv2013_1.4: Imaging show that the coarse animation appears by using only 10% of the original faces. More Chair: Mao Lin Huang, The University of Technology, Sydney (UTS), detailed animation appears by using 80% of original faces, but only requires 3% of Australia original storage space. Consequently, this approach enables a continuous level of detail for dynamic 3D mesh sequences. Interactive Segmentation based on Initial Segmentation and Region Merging Guoheng Huang, Chi Man PUN A Combined Linear and Circular-Arc Approximation of Curves for Feedrate Smoothing of CNC Machining Interactive segmentation is one of the most popular and challenging segmentation methods for computer vision. For the purpose to accurately extract objects from different images, this PONGRAPEE KAEWSAIHA, NATASHA DEJDUMRONG paper presents an interactive image segmentation method based on initial segmentation and This paper presents an estimation technique used to represent a parametric curve by a region merging that the users only need to roughly mark the regions of the object and sequence of lines and circular arcs in CNC toolpath generation. The advantage of this background by using markers. First, a Super-pixel based initial segmentation is applied to algorithm is that it can decrease the number of segments required for approximating the the original image. After that, the original image will be divided into some regions. Second, a curve with the pre-defined tolerance value when compared to the common linearization novel region feature based on color histogram and Contourlet transform is computed for process. A new combined algorithm also reduces a complexity of existing circular-arc each region. Third, merge the regions which are similar to marked object region and merge approximation algorithms and can decrease computational time. The main contribution of the regions similar to marked background region, until there are only two kinds of regions - this paper is a new algorithm provides with smoother feedrate of CNC machining controller object and background. Compared with other algorithms, experiment shows that the due to the corner reduction.

Wavelets-Based Smoothness Metric for Volume Data Simulating Gait and Structural Effects of Aging for Improved Diversity in Virtual Mong-Shu Lee, Shyh-Kuang Ueng, Jhih-Jhong Lin Crowds In this paper we describe an objective smoothness assessment method for volume data. The Chathika Gunaratne, Prasad Wimalaratne metric can predict the extent of the difference in smoothness between a reference model, In real human crowds, diversification is caused by many factors such as gender, age, which may not be of perfect quality, and a distorted version. The proposed metric is based skin color, clothing, walking style, psychology etc., yet most crowd simulation systems on the wavelet characterization of Besov function spaces.

Growing Grid-Evolutionary Algorithm for Surface Reconstruction Siti Mariyam Shamsuddin, Priza Pandunata, Fadni Forkan This work primarily aims at introducing an algorithm for surface construction in conjunction with hybrid Growing Grid network and Evolutionary Algorithm, called Growing Grid- Evolutionary network. The process of surface construction primarily consists of two main steps namely: parameterization and surface fitting. The application of growing grid network is implemented at the parameterization phase; meanwhile the evolutionary algorithm has been used to optimally fit the surfaces through the Non Uniform Relational B-Spline (NURBS) method. Various graphical data are used in the experiment including the free-form objects, parabola, and mask. In order to validate the proposed algorithm, we conduct an error analysis for each step of parameterization and surface fitting by comparing the surface images generated with the original surfaces. Experimental results show that the proposed growing grid-evolutionary network has successfully generated surfaces that resemble the original surfaces and enhance its performance
Approximating Handwritten Curve by Using Progressive-Iterative Approximation Taweechai Nuntawisuttiwong, Natasha Dejdumrong In this paper, the handwritten curves are sampled to some points which are more enough to reconstruct their curves without loss characteristic of curve. These points are sampling points which are acted as control points for interpolation. The Progressive-Iterative Approximation (PIA) is adopted for construct the interpolating curve.

Using the proposed method, a series of points are first sampled from the input rational Generally, there are many method in converting Thai painting pattern (or Lai Thai in Thai) Bézier curve. Then a Progressive Iterative Approximation algorithm is used to calculate for a from “Raster “ to “Vector”. However, this paper aims to present about using “Algorithm PIA” non-rational Bézier curve that fits the sampling points. Demonstration of using the proposed (Progressive Interactive Approximation) which is an automatic program in converting data algorithm to approximate input rational Bézier curves is illustrated. Experimental results show from “Raster “to “Vector” as the result of Bézier curve. that using more sampling points provides better approximation. However, rendering a Bézier curve with too many control points is time-consuming. The optimal result should provide Moreover, the process in selecting any points in any pictures that can bring the best result good approximation using as less sampling points as possible. Quality of the approximation which matches to the purpose as well as time management are concerned. This research will also depend on positions of sampling points. present the appropriate method in using Algorithm PIA that is selecting some points in the picture while considering its main structure which the practitioner can control both of quality and time in the result. A Survey on Visualization Techniques for Categorical Data

< keynote lecture > Simulation of Various Interactions in Fluid Dynamics Enhua Wu, Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Macau & State Key Lab of Computer Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China Fluid phenomena and fluid interactions are common in our daily life. As a challenging topic, the interactions on fluid dynamics are involved with highly comprehensive behavior simulation. We will in the talk classify the interactions into 2 categories, the internal and external ones. For the internal interaction, simulation to the mixture of multiple fluids in different features, both immiscible and miserable, will be introduced, and solutions based on Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) and conventional NSE solutions will be given. For the external interaction, the behavior simulation of fluid dynamics with solid objects including granular and fixed shapes, will be introduced. All the interactive behavior will be demonstrated by testing result of dynamics, and the techniques for real time simulation in some situations will be also analyzed. Short Biography
