  • How crabs walk and what can robots learn from it?

    Creator:
    Shen, Nuocheng
    Abstract:
    Simulation has provided much design inspiration for the field of robotics. While many astute ideas can be computationally formulated, there are some good structures in animals that people call “biologically-inspired”. Many robots are designed based on natural creatures such as crabs, spiders, etc. Before we can take full advantage of...

  • Interactive visualization of Douglas fir forest growth using 3-PG

    Creator:
    Thompson, Allison
    Abstract:
    Forests are important to Oregon for their beauty as well as economic value, and Douglas fir trees are among the most common and important in the state. Managing and monitoring Oregon’s forests is imperative to ensure they can remain healthy and productive. One tool that helps forest scientists to understand...

  • Fast Exemplar-Based Style Transfer with Enhanced Artistic Control

    Creator:
    Appleton, Alexander
    Abstract:
    Exemplar-based style transfer techniques reimagine the content of a target image in the style of an exemplar image. Style transfer techniques that make use of patch-based synthesis copy sections of the exemplar to corresponding regions of the target, creating a new image in a patchwork manner. The artistic control one...

  • Creating Animal Hair Through Graphical Animation Fit for Video Game Simulation Rendering Times

    Creator:
    Parsons, Zach M.
    Abstract:
    Graphics of hair have been constantly improved since Kajiya’s famous teddy bear in 1989. By combining these concepts and real-world physics laws, I created a realistic representation of hair on a sphere-shaped head. OpenGL also provides a constantly updated display to continuously render the graphic. Using springs, the hair can...

  • On The Efficacy of Alternate Menu Configurations

    Creator:
    Zaworski, Jonathan
    Abstract:
    Extensive research has been conducted to improve the menus that allow navigation of digital world, most of it focused on the most common varieties of menu. Radial menus, a less common menu variety designed so that menu entries are aligned on a polar coordinate system, have largely been ignored. Early...

  • The Research and Development of a Multi-Resolution Geometry Modeler

    Creator:
    Lee, Anthony K.
    Abstract:
    With each generation of technology, computers become even more capable of rendering objects with an ever increasing number of polygons. As a result, the desire to add more details to a 3D model increases as well. Among the many tools provided by computer graphics software that an artist has at...

  • Development of a GPS-Based Transit Tracking System for Corvallis

    Creator:
    Urbanski, Daniel F.
    Abstract:
    Buses can be impractical for those who must adhere to a strict schedule or depend on them for emergencies. While variations from the official bus schedule are understandable and largely unavoidable, a lack of communication discourages adoption at a rate disproportionate with their actual likelihood. Even if a bus is...

  • A Study on Graphics Quality in Smartphone Games

    Creator:
    Glenn, Shady E.
    Abstract:
    As of February 2012, approximately 46% of American adults own a smartphone. The graphics quality of these devices gets better each year. However, they still have many more limitations in graphics processing and storage space than desktop computers. This means that applications on these devices should focus on optimizing their...

  • A Graphical Method of Computing Offset Curves

    Creator:
    Weiss, Benjamin M.
    Abstract:
    Computation of offset curves is an operation critical to many computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) applications. Though simple on the surface, differences between the straightforward mathematical definition and the demands of CAD/CAM environment in the formulation and expression of an offset curve create a problem for which only complicated, approximate...

  • Believable automotive flocking model

    Creator:
    McGregor, Jessica L.
    Abstract:
    The high cost of manually producing background characters creates a demand for a way to automatically generate plausible behaviors. These background extras need to behave in a manner that is believable such that they do not distract the focus of the audience from the primary action occurring in the scene....
