▪ Abstract This paper reviews literature, current concepts and approaches in computational
anatomy (CA). The model of CA is a Grenander deformable template, an orbit generated …

The utilization of computer-aided technologies in tissue engineering has evolved in the
development of a new field of computer-aided tissue engineering (CATE). This article …

In this paper, a new technique for modeling textured 3D faces is introduced. 3D faces can
either be generated automatically from one or more photographs, or modeled directly …

To look human, digital full-body avatars need to have soft-tissue deformations like those of
real people. We learn a model of soft-tissue deformations from examples using a high …

One example embodiment includes a method for creating an avatar from an image. The
method includes receiving an image including a face from a user. The method also includes …

We present a method to acquire the reflectance field of a human face and use these
measurements to render the face under arbitrary changes in lighting and viewpoint. We first …

Abstract “Blendshapes”, a simple linear model of facial expression, is the prevalent
approach to realistic facial animation. It has driven animated characters in Hollywood films …

A general automatic approach is presented for accommodating local shape variation when
mapping a two-dimensional (2-D) or three-dimensional (3-D) template image into alignment …

Since the first edition of this book in 2007, there has been a fast evolution in Virtual Reality.
Palmer Luckey designed a prototype for what would become the Oculus Rift Virtual Reality …

Physically based deformable models have been widely embraced by the Computer
Graphics community. Many problems outlined in a previous survey by Gibson and Mirtich …
