SIGGRAPH 2007: The 34th International Conference on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques

6 Papers Contributed by HKUST Fellows

SIGGRAPH is the most prestigious conference in the field of Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques in the world. This year, the conference will be held from August 5 - 9 in San Diego, California, USA. The SIGGRAPH Papers program is the premier international forum for disseminating new scholarly work in computer graphics. This year the Papers Committee accepted 108 papers. These papers span the core areas of modeling, animation, rendering, and imaging, but they also touch on related areas such as visualization, computer vision, human-computer interaction, and applications of computer graphics.

Getting a research paper published in SIGGRAPH is the dream of every computer graphics graduate student. In recent years, the group of Computer Vision and Graphics of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering has been consistently publishing in this annual gathering. We are most delighted that 6 papers from the HKUST team are going to be published in SIGGRAPGH 2007. As far as we know, HKUST is the only tertiary institution from Hong Kong with more than one paper published this year.

Handle-Aware Isolines for Scalable Shape Editing

An introduction to handle-aware rigidity and an isoline-based, reduced model that respects rigidity and geometry for deformation applications, achieving resolution-independent per-iteration cost and fast convergence.

Solid Texture Synthesis From 2D Exemplars

A novel method for synthesizing solid textures from 2D exemplars. In addition to producing compelling texture-mapped surfaces, this method models the material in the interior of solid objects.
