Long Term Analysis of a Trajectory to Investigate the Impact of a Metropolis on Its Waterbodies From the Ecological and Historical Point of View

Winklhöfer, Karin, Dr. rer. nat. (Evolution of Organismic Systems)

Duration of project: 10/2011 - 06/2012

Investigation and comparisson of the impact of metropolian areas on rivers with low discharge. Compared were the cities of Milan, Berlin, Paris and Brussels during the time period 1860 to 2010. We focussed on ecological impact, administrative and pol ...

Image-Based Representation of Clothes for Realistic Virtual Try-On

Eisert, Peter, Prof. Dr.-Ing. (Visual Computing)

Duration of project: 08/2011 - 07/2015

This research addresses the issue of realistic visualization of garments in real-time augmented reality environments, where virtual clothes are rendered into real video material. From a scientific point of view this scenario presents numerous challen ...

Image-based Representation of Clothes for Realistic Virtual Try-On

Eisert, Peter, Prof. Dr.-Ing. (Visual Computing)

Duration of project: 08/2014 - 07/2015

The project addresses the photo-realistic rendering of faces. Faces show, similar to clothing, very complex appearance properties, and it is very difficult to photorealistically render human faces. Even more, as the human eye is very sensitive to see ...
