A 2D visual language for rapid 3D scene design

چکیده
Automatic recognition and digitization of the features found in raster images of 2D topographic maps has a long research history. Very little such work has focused on creating and working with alternatives to the classic isoline-based topographic map.This thesis presents a system that generates 3D scenes from a 2D diagram format designed for user friendliness; with more geometric expressiveness and lower ink usage than classic topographic maps. This thesis explains the rationale for and the structure of the system, and the difficulties encountered in constructing it. It then describes a user study to evaluate the language and the usability of its various features, and draws future research directions from it.

Visual Programming of User Interfaces for Distributed Graphics Applications
This thesis presents a novel software system called Thekla that facilitates the integration of 2D and 3D user interfaces (UI) employed in interactive, multi-display/multi-user, distributed graphics applications. Combining heterogenous display and interaction devices refers to the idea of providing the most appropriate environment to accomplish diverse interaction tasks to users. Thekla acts as ...

This paper presents a novel software system called Thekla that facilitates the integration of 2D and 3D user interfaces into hybrid, distributed mixed reality applications. Combining heterogenous display and interaction devices allows mixing and matching of interaction styles for a convenient user experience that is often absent from pure virtual reality applications. To this aim, Thekla enable...
متن کاملSpatial Visual Attention for Novelty Detection: A Space-based Saliency Model in 3D Using Spatial Memory
Saliency maps as visual attention computational models can reveal novel regions within a scene (as in the human visual system), which can decrease the amount of data to be processed in task specific computer vision applications. Most of the saliency computation models do not take advantage of prior spatial memory by giving priority to spatial or object based features to obtain bottom-up or top-...
متن کاملNon-commercial Object-Base Scene Description
This paper investigates the development of a non-commercial object-based scene description language, for the effective capture of twoand three-dimensional scenes. Design science research techniques were applied to determine the factors involved in effective scene capture. The solution facilitates the description of 2D and 3D environments via interpretation of object relationships; the implement...
متن کاملCarSim: An Automatic 3D Text-to-Scene Conversion System Applied to Road Accident Reports
CarSim is an automatic text-to-scene conversion system. It analyzes written descriptions of car accidents and synthesizes 3D scenes of them. The conversion process consists of two stages. An information extraction module creates a tabular description of the accident and a visual simulator generates and animates the scene. We implemented a first version of CarSim that considered a corpus of text...
