Robust Range Image Registration (2004)
Joachim Bauer, Konrad Karner, Andreas Klaus, Roland Perko
This paper presents a method for the registration of range image pairs that were captured from di#erent locations. The proposed approach assumes that a common 3D plane is least visible in both scans....
Hierarchical Disparity Estimation with Programmable 3D Hardware (2003)
Christopher Zach, Konrad Karner, Horst Bischof

Fast Event-Driven Refinement of Dynamic Levels of Detail (2003)
Christopher Zach, Konrad Karner
Dynamic levels of detail allow fine grained selection of actually rendered geometry suitable for the current viewing parameters. Therefore, the visual quality of interactive 3D applications is...
Optimized Stereo Reconstruction Using 3D Graphics Hardware (2003)
Christopher Zach, Andreas Klaus, Bernhard Reitinger, Konrad Karner
In this paper we describe significant enhancements of our recently developed stereo reconstruction software exploiting features of commodity 3D graphics hardware. The aim of our research is the...
Metropogis: A Semi-Automatic City Documentation System (2003)
Andreas Klaus, Joachim Bauer, Konrad Karner, Konrad Schindler
In this paper we report on a new system to augment a 3D block model of a real city with geo-referenced terrestrial images of the facades. The terrestrial images are taken by a hand-held digital...
Texture Mapping for View-Dependent Rendering Mario Sormann (2003)
Mario Sormann, Christopher Zach, Konrad Karner
View-dependent multiresolution meshes allow smooth interactive animation and optionally time-critical rendering of huge geometric data-sets and are therefore an important tool for large-model...
Progressive Compression Of Visibility Data For View-Dependent Multiresolution Meshes (2003)

Dam Flooding Simulation Using Advanced CFD Methods (2002)
Mohamed Gouda, Dr. Konrad Karner, Dr. Reinhard Tatschl
Flooding, be they natural or caused by dam breaking, are a threat to mankind civilization all over the world. Today, the need for more and more water storage and electricity as a modern sources of...
Modeling and Visualizing the Cultural Heritage Data Set of Graz (2002)
Christopher Zach, Andreas Klaus, Joachim Bauer, Konrad Karner, Markus Grabner
The inner city (Old Town) of Graz will be the European cultural capital in 2003. In this paper we present preliminary results on the reconstruction and visualization of this kind of cultural heritage...
Time-critical Rendering of Discrete and Continuous Levels of Detail (2002)
Paul Debevec, Simon Gibson (editors, Christopher Zach, Stephan Mantler, Konrad Karner
We present a novel level of detail selection method for real-time rendering, that works on hierarchies of discrete and continuous representations. We integrate point rendered objects with polygonal...
Prefetching Policies For Remote Walkthroughs (2002)
Christopher Zach, Konrad Karner
We present a 3D data streaming approach for remote walkthroughs, that integrates local optimization techniques for realtime rendering with prefetching techniques for remote scene graphs. Especially...
From Real Cities to Virtual Habitats (2002)
Christopher Zach, Andreas Klaus, Joachim Bauer, Konrad Karner
This paper outlines the workflow from terrestrial and aerial images of urban areas to the reconstructed virtual models and the corresponding visualization. We combine new ideas as well as known...
