Best Paper Award

2017-10-09

Our paper "Visual Computing for Archaeological Artifacts with Integral Invariant Filters in 3D" was awarded as best paper at the 15th EuroGraphics Workshop on Graphics and Cultural Heritage (GCH) in Graz, Austria.

DOI: 10.2312/gch.20171290.

New fine prints of 3D-Visualizations:

2017-09-21

The of the first of the prints is based on the German CAA'17 poster rendered with GigaMesh. They will be on display on the 5th floor in the Mathematikon as soon as we have adapted the mounting. In total there will be five or six of these prints in 80x80 cm representing the work of all three Computer graphics groups at IWR.
