One of the fundamental decisions during the development of any system is the representation of data. In computer graphics, objects are usually represented as sets of triangles. There are however many different variants with their own strengths and weaknesses. This thesis will explore distancefields as a representation for objects. Distancefields are functions, which map every point in space to the distance to the closest surface point. While this description is very simple, a number of interesting properties can be derived, allowing for a multitude of shapes, operations and effects. An overview of the necessary background and methods is given. Furthermore, some extended or new approaches are presented, such as displaying implicit surfaces, approximating indirect illumination or implementing a GPU tracer.
The present thesis covers the implementation and optimization of global illumination in three-dimensional scenes. Global illumination does not only consider direct illumination dependent on one or more light sources, but also indirect illumination which is emitted by surrounding objects in the scene. The thesis focuses on the implementation of a global illumination method and its improvement using OpenGL 4.4. This is done by a voxelization of the scene. By traversing the resulting voxel structure, additional information is taken from the scene, which contributes to a plausible global illumination.
Ist es möglich, allein mittels VR-Headset bei Nutzern Immersion zu
erzeugen? Zur Beantwortung dieser Frage werden zwei Simulationen einer
Achterbahnfahrt ohne haptisches Feedback mittels der Unreal Engine
4.20.3 für ein HTC-Vive VR Headset entwickelt und implementiert. Die
zweite Simulation unterscheidet sich von der ersten durch die Darbietung
außergewöhnlicher Ereignisse während der Fahrt, für die vermutet wird,
dass sie das Immersionserleben verstärken. Elf Probanden nahmen an der
Untersuchung teil. Die Auswertung eines Fragebogens zur Erfassung der
Intensität der Immersion und der Antworten auf offenen Fragen zeigt, dass
Immersion in beiden Simulation erfolgreich erzeugt werden konnte. Manche
Merkmale der Simulation vertieften bei einzelnen Probanden das immersive
Erleben, bei anderen dagegen nicht. Die Bedeutung der Ergebnisse
und Optimierungsmöglichkeiten für künftige Studien werden diskutiert.
Im Bereich Augmented Reality ist es von großer Bedeutung, dass virtuelle
Objekte möglichst realistisch in ein Kamerabild eingebettet werden. Nur
so ist es möglich, dem Nutzer eine immersive Erfahrung zu bieten. Dazu
gehört unter anderem, Verdeckung dieser Objekte korrekt zu behandeln.
Während schon verschiedene Ansätze existieren, dieses Verdeckungsproblem
zu beheben, wird in dieser Arbeit eine Lösung mittels Natural Image
Matting vorgestellt. Mit Hilfe einer Tiefenkamera wird das Kamerabild in
Vorder- und Hintergrund aufgeteilt und anschließend das virtuelle Objekt
im Bild platziert. Für Bereiche, in denen die Zugehörigkeit zu Vorder- oder
Hintergrund nicht eindeutig ist, wird anhand bekannter Pixel ein Transparenz-
Wert geschätzt. Es werden Methoden präsentiert, welche einen
Ablauf des Image Matting in Echtzeit ermöglichen. Zudem werden
Verbesserungsmöglichkeiten dieser Methoden präsentiert und gezeigt, dass
durch diese eine höhere Bildqualität für schwierige Szenen erreicht wird.
Today, augmented reality is becoming more and more important in several areas like industrial sectors, medicine, or tourism. This gain of importance can easily be explained by its powerful extension of real world content. Therefore, augmented realty became a way to explain and enhance the real world information. Yet, to create a system which can enhance a scene with additional information, the relation between the system and the real world must be known. In order to establish this relationship a commonly used method is optical tracking. The system calculates its relation to the real world from camera images. To do so, a reference which is known is needed in the scene to serve as an orientation. Today, this is mostly a 2D-marker or a 2D-texture. These are placed in the real world scenery to serve as a reference. But, this is an intrusion in the scene. That is why it is desirable that the system works without such an additional aid. An strategy without manipulating the scene is object-tracking. In this approach, any object from the scene can be used as a reference for the system. As an object is far more complex than a marker, it is harder for the system to establish its relationship with the real world. That is why most methods for 3D-object-tracking reduce the object by not using the whole object as reference. The focus of this thesis is to research how a whole object can be used as a reference in a way that either the system or the camera can be moved in any 360 degree angle around the object without loosing the relation to the real world. As a basis the augmented reality framework, the so called VisionLib, is used. Extensions to this system for 360 degree tracking are implemented in different ways and analyzed in the scope of this work. Also, the different extensions are compared. The best results were achieved by improving the reinitialization process. With this extension, current camera images of the scene are given to the system. With the hek of these images, the system can calculate the relation to the real world faster in case the relation went missing.
While Virtual Reality has been around for decades it gained new life in recent years. The release of the first consumer hardware devices allows fully immersive and affordable VR for the user at home. This availability lead to a new focus of research on technical problems as well as psychological effects. The concepts of presence, describing the feeling of being in the virtual place, body ownership and their impact are central topics in research for a long time and still not fully understood.
To enable further research in the area of Mixed Reality, we want to introduce a framework that integrates the users body and surroundings inside a visual coherent virtual environment. As one of two main aspects we want to merge real and virtual objects to a shared environment in a way such that they are no longer visually distinguishable. To achieve this the main focus is not supposed to be on a high graphical fidelity but on a simplified representation of reality. The essential question is, what level of visual realism is necessary to create a believable mixed reality environment that induces a sense of presence in the user? The second aspect considers the integration of virtual persons. Can characters be recorded and replayed in a way such that they are perceived as believable entities of the world and therefore act as a part of the users environment?
The purpose of this thesis was the development of a framework called Mixed Reality Embodiment Platform. This inital system implements fundamental functionalities to be used as a basis for future extensions to the framework. We also provide a first application that enables user studies to evaluate the framework and contribute to aforementioned research questions.
This thesis presents the analysis of gamebased touristic applications. In tourism, actions can only be motivated intrinsic. Thus, this thesis at first researches specific intrinsic motivation concepts. It shows how gamebased motivation can be produced on purpose and answers the question whether gamebased motivation can be transferred to non-gamebased applications.
Using these results, different touristic applications have been developed and evaluated.
All applications aimed to add value to the touristic experience. The applications are sorted by their mobility. There are completely mobile, completely stationary and hybrid systems in this work. There are different ways to add value which are presented in this work: Gamebased exploration, knowledge transfer and social interaction between tourists.
Finally, an authoring tool for gamebased touristic tours on smartphones is presented.
Augmented Reality ist eine neuartige, auf vielen Gebieten einsetzbare Technologie. Eines dieser Gebiete ist die Touristeninformation. Hier ermöglicht die AR dem Anwender eine schier endlose Fülle der verschiedensten Möglichkeiten. Mit Ihrer Hilfe kann der Benutzer nicht nur die Zeit bereisen, er kann auch Unsichtbares sehen. Doch stellt sich die Frage, ob die AR auch für weiterreichende Zwecke geeignet ist. Ist es möglich mit ihrer Hilfe Wissen nachhaltig zu vermitteln? Und wenn ja, wie kann dies geschehen? In althergebrachter Form von Texten und Bildern, oder auf interaktive und spielerische Weise? Was muß beachtet werden bei dem Versuch eine AR Anwendung für die Wissensübermittlung zu erstellen? Wie kann der Benutzer mit Ihr umgehen? Weiss der Benutzer später auch wirklich mehr? Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit geht diesen Fragen nach, indem sie zuerst der AR einen genaueren Blick widmet. Sie betrachtet die möglichen einsetzbaren Medien und gibt Vorschläge für interaktive Anwendungen, die mit Hilfe von AR ausgeführt werden. Zum Schluß untersucht sie anhand einer erstellten Beispielanwendung, ob der Benutzer mit Hilfe der AR etwas lernen und auch behalten kann.
The following bachelor thesis gives an overview of various approaches and techniques for procedural generation of three-dimensional city models. Especially the usage of generative grammars is being examined and later used for the implementation of an own application. Its focus was the embedding of predetermined primary street networks as well as the procedural generation of secondary street networks and different kinds of buildings. The application allows the efficient creation of extensive and variably structured city models. However, there are restrictions regarding the realism and variation of the results.
How does gameplay influence the fun in video games? This article will search for an answer to this question by using a self-made video game created from scratch. This video game will be programmed in two versions with differences only in gameplay. Several test persons are then to play this game. A survey will be answered afterwards. In order to gain values that are merely influenced by gameplay changes, thoughts on the game design and conception were made. Results suggest that gameplay has a big impact on fun in video games. But gameplay isn't the only responsible factor that makes a video game amusing. Psychological aspects are present when the gameplay of a video game changes.
In order to simulate realistic motion sequences, muscles must be able to be modelled anatomically correct. Yet it is only possible in SimPack to define muscles as a straight line between two points. This thesis presents an approach where ellipses can be defined through which a muscle must pass. The main problem is to calculate the length of this muscle through the ellipses. An algorithm is presented that calculates the shortest path of a muscle path through this ellipses. This algorithm is then implemented in Fortran 90 and integrated into an existing muscle model in SimPack.
Es wird ein Augmented-Reality Ansatz zur Erforschung modularer OSGi-Softwaresysteme präsentiert. Der Prototyp wird unter der Verwendung der Microsoft HoloLens implementiert. Module, wie Komponenten und Packages, werden in einer virtuellen Stadt dargestellt. Dieser Ansatz ermöglicht es dem Anwender, die Software-Architektur mittels intuitiver Navigation zu erkunden: Spracheingabe, Blickpunkt- und Gestenkontrolle. Eine multifunktionale Benutzeroberfläche wird vorgestellt, die für verschiedene Zielgruppen adaptiert werden kann. Viele veröffentlichte Visualisierungen weisen keine klare Zielgruppendefinition auf. Das Konzept kann leicht auf andere Darstellungsformen, wie beispielsweise der Inselmetapher übertragen werden. Erste Ergebnisse einer Evaluierung, die mittels kleiner strukturierter Interviews gewonnen werden konnten, werden präsentiert. Die Probanden mussten vier Programm-verständnis Aufgaben lösen und ihren Aufwand, sowie ihre Arbeitsbelastung einschätzen. Die Ergebnisse bilden eine gute Grundlage für weitere Forschung im Bereich der Software- Visualisierung in Augmented Reality.
Das Ziel der vorliegenden Masterarbeit ist es, einen Einführungskurs in die Computervisualistik mit dem Schwerpunkt Computergrafik zu konzeptionieren und zu prototypisieren. Der Kurs sollte Grundlagen der Computergrafik vermitteln und dabei Bezüge zu anderen Veranstaltungen des Studiums herstellen, um Motivation und Verständnis für die komplexen Zusammenhänge der Studieninhalte in der Computervisualistik zu schaffen. Der aktuelle Studiengangplan weist hier bislang ein erkennbares Defizit auf. Für den Einführungskurs wurden prototypische Lerneinheiten auf Grundlage der didaktischen Methode der Moderation und unter Verwendung von Unity entwickelt. Konzept und Prototypen wurden an Probanden ohne informationstechnischen Hintergrund evaluiert. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, dass Unity eine geeignete Oberfläche für die Vermittlung der Informationen bietet. Diese stieß auf Akzeptanz und konnte leichte Zugänglichkeit bei den Probanden aufweisen, obwohl die Lerneinheiten selbst kleinere Schwächen aufwiesen. Im Anschluss an die erste Evaluationsphase wurde eine qualitative Umfrage mit Alumini der Computervisualistik durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse bestätigten den Bedarf nach einer einführenden Veranstaltung zur Orientierung und zur Förderung von Motivation und Verständnis für die breiten Themengebiete der Computervisualistik.
The present work introduces a rigid-body physics engine, focusing on the collision detection by GPU. The increasing performance and accessibility of modern graphics cards ensures that they can be also used for algorithms that are meant not only for imaging. This advantage is used to implement an efficient collision detection based on particles. The performance differences between CPU and GPU are presented by using a test environment.

Im Bereich der Computergraphik bilden die Nicht-Photorealistischen Renderingverfahren einen Schwerpunkt in der technischen und wissenschaftlichen Visualisierung, vor allem aber in den künstlerischen Bereichen. Verschiedene Kunststile, sowie Zeichenmaterialien und ihre Eigenschaften stellen unterschiedliche Herausforderungen dar. Eine dieser Herausforderungen ist hierbei die Simulation flüssiger Zeichenmittel.
Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Erstellung eines interaktiven Zeichensystems für ein flüssiges Zeichenmittel, der Aquarellmalerei. Für die Simulation wird eine raue Zeichengrundlage generiert, sowie die Fluid Simulation und das optische Farbverhalten der Aquarellmalerei implementiert.
In recent years head mounted displays (HMD) and their abilities to create virtual realities comparable with the real world moved more into the focus of press coverage and consumers. The reason for this lies in constant improvements in available computing power, miniaturisation of components as well as the constantly shrinking power consumption. These trends originate in the general technical progress driven by advancements made in smartphone sector. This gives more people than ever access to the required components to create these virtual realities. However at the same time there is only limited research which uses the current generation of HMDs especially when comparing the virtual and real world against each other. The approach of this thesis is to look into the process of navigating both real and virtual spaces while using modern hardware and software. One of the key areas are the spatial and peripheral perception without which it would be difficult to navigate a given space. The influence of prior real and virtual experiences on these will be another key aspect. The final area of focus is the influence on the emotional state and how it compares to the real world. To research these influences a experiment using the Oculus Rift DK2 HMD will be held in which subjects will be guided through a real space as well as a virtual model of it. Data will be gather in a quantitative manner by using surveys. Finally, the findings will be discussed based on a statistical evaluation. During these tests the different perception of distances and room size will the compared and how they change based on the current reality. Furthermore, the influence of prior spatial activities both in the real and the virtual world will looked into. Lastly, it will be checked how real these virtual worlds are and if they are sufficiently sophisticated to trigger the same emotional responses as the real world.
The animation of models has become an important part in different areas of everyday life. It is a demanding task for computer graphics to generate
a natural deformation of organic models. Skinning is a common method to animate models without animating each vertex individually. The skin of the model deforms automatically by manipulating individual bones of a skeleton.
This bachelor thesis deals with the most common algorithm, linear blend skinning and aims to find some optimizations regarding the visual effect
and performance. Additionally it presents certain instancing methods which are combined with the skinning methods in the application to show the advantages and disadvantages of the latter.
Global-Illumination is an important part of the rendering of realistic images. However, the computational complexity of an accurate simulation of these effects is too high for the use in real time applications. In this paper Light-Propagation-Volumes, Screen-Space-Reflections and multiple variants of Screen-Space-Ambient-Occlusion are investigated as a solution for real time rendering. It is shown that they are fast enough for the use in real time applications. The various techniques approximate only a few aspects of the light transport, but complement each other.
This work covers techniques for interactive and physically - based rendering of hair for computer generated imagery (CGI). To this end techniques
for the simulation and approximation of the interaction of light with hair are derived and presented. Furthermore it is described how hair, despite such computationally expensive algorithms, can be rendered interactively.
Techniques for computing the shadowing in hair as well as approaches to render hair as transparent geometry are also presented. A main focus of
this work is the DBK-Buffer, which was conceived, implemented and evaluated. Using the DBK-Buffer, it is possible to render thousands of hairs as
transparent geometry without being dependent on either the newest GPU hardware generation or a great amount of video memory. Moreover, a comprehensive evaluation of all the techniques described was conducted with respect to the visual quality, performance and memory requirements. This
revealed that hair can be rendered physically - based at interactive or even at real - time frame rates.
Simulation of fractures
(2014)
Real-time computing often avoids the simulation of fractures due to its complexity. The field of engineering science provides methods to create these simulations to improve games and other applications. Steadily rising computer capacities allow suitable simulations on a real-time basis and make this aspect increasingly interesting. The topic and aim of this research is to simulate fractures of stiff bodies. The primary objective is the physical plausibility and performance of the application. This thesis analyses the potential of computer science to realize the simulation of fractures.
Three existing as well as one self-created were implemented and analysed. The works "Real time simulation of deformation and Fracture of stiff material" from Müller et al., "real time simulation of Brittle Fracture using Modal analysis" from Glondu et al. and "Fast and Controllable simulation of the Shattering of Brittle Objects" from Smith et al. form the basis of this thesis. The introduced methods use different computation of forces and fractures. The developed procedure uses the idea of generating secondary breaks. The approaches were implemented based on the Bullet physics-engine. The results of the work show that physically based breaks are realizable on a real-time basis.
The analysis of the physical methods demonstrates that their performance mainly depends on the constitution of the used objects. This thesis shows that the further investigation of this topic can discover new possibilities. The improvement of the realism in virtual worlds can be achieved by executing physically plausible methods.
In this bachelor thesis a tangible augmented reality game was developed, which should have a additional benefit compared to conventional computer or augmented reality games. The main part of the thesis explains the game concept, the development and the evaluation of the game. In the evaluation the flow-experience, as measurement for the games" amusement, was analysed with a user test and the developed game was compared with other smartphone games. Also augmented reality, tangible user interface and tangible augmented reality was introduced and the advantages and disadvantages was explained. The history of augmented reality was introduced too.
In no field of computer science has the hardware developed as rapidly as in the field of computer graphics. Today, we can display complex, geometric scenes in real time in immersive systems and also integrate elaborate simulations.
The aim of this work is to realize the simulation of paint splashes in a virtual world. For this purpose, an application will be implemented with the help of Unity, that uses three different techniques to color the environment with the help of paint splashes. Based on this application, the limits and possibilities of the techniques in virtual environments are examined more closely.
This examination shows that an inverse projection produces the best results.
Bildsynthese durch Raytracing gewinnt durch Hardware-Unterstützung in Verbraucher-Grafikkarten eine immer größer werdende Relevanz. Der Linespace dient dabei als eine neue, vielversprechende Beschleunigungsstruktur. Durch seine richtungsbasierte Natur ist es sinnvoll, ihn in andere Datenstrukturen zu integrieren. Bisher wurde er in ein Uniform-Grid integriert. Problematisch werden einheitlich große Voxel allerdings bei Szenen mit variierbarem Detailgrad. Diese Arbeit führt den adaptiven Linespace ein, eine Kombination aus Octree und Linespace. Die Struktur wird hinsichtlich ihrer Beschleunigungsfähigkeit untersucht und mit dem bisherigen Grid-Ansatz verglichen. Es wird gezeigt, dass der adaptive Linespace für hohe Grid-Auflösungen besser skaliert, durch eine ineffiziente GPU-Nutzung allerdings keine optimalen Werte erzielt.
Artificial neural networks is a popular field of research in artificial intelli-
gence. The increasing size and complexity of huge models entail certain
problems. The lack of transparency of the inner workings of a neural net-
work makes it difficult to choose efficient architectures for different tasks.
It proves to be challenging to solve these problems, and with a lack of in-
sightful representations of neural networks, this state of affairs becomes
entrenched. With these difficulties in mind a novel 3D visualization tech-
nique is introduced. Attributes for trained neural networks are estimated
by utilizing established methods from the area of neural network optimiza-
tion. Batch normalization is used with fine-tuning and feature extraction to
estimate the importance of different parts of the neural network. A combi-
nation of the importance values with various methods like edge bundling,
ray tracing, 3D impostor and a special transparency technique results in a
3D model representing a neural network. The validity of the extracted im-
portance estimations is demonstrated and the potential of the developed
visualization is explored.
