1. Transfusive Image Manipulation:

We present a method for consistent automatic transfer of edits applied to one image to many other images of the same object or scene. By introducing novel, content-adaptive weight functions we enhance the non-rigid alignment framework of Lucas-Kanade to robustly handle changes of view point, illumination and non-rigid deformations of the subjects.

2. Elasticity-Inspired Deformers for Character Articulation:

We present a new automatic skinning technique which mimics the quality of nonlinear elastic simulation. Our method achieves higher-quality results than both linear blend (LBS) and dual quaternion skinning (DQS) with minimal additional costs

3.Structure Recovery by Part Assembly:

Given single-view scans by the Kinect system, containing highly noisy and incomplete 3D scans (upper left) and corresponding RGB images (lower left), our approach is able to faithfully recover their underlying structures (yellow) by assembling suitable parts (red) in the repository models (blue).
