The material here has been organized under two broad sections:
A) Experimental results in support of the thesis (Experiments
and Result Highlights)
B) Additional material on functional components of the MAFI framework
(General Overview)
Section A has been further decomposed into the following threads:
1) Detailed set of results from the 20 chosen test interpolation
blocks + transition chaining + metadata
2) A concise presentation of results, summarizing inferences and
a select set of rendered results.
The three threads shown in the navigation bar above are navigable from the combo-boxes. Pls. ensure that Javascript is enabled in your browser, and follow the hints for a smooth ride through all the results. It will be easier to cope with the large amount of results presented in the transition cases, by browsing the Result Highlights-->Transition Highlights section first, which groups the results of the Transition Cases semantically and then provides a summary presented in perspective of the thesis.
The experimental cases have been demonstrated in wireframe, from a perspective
that presents strong silhouettes of the result. Both telescopic and wide-angle
views are provided for each animation, unless there is very little horizontal
motion to justify a wide angle perspective. In some cases, real life examples
are provided for comparison. In the spirit of true research,
none of
the results have been massaged in order to accurately evaluate the limitations
of the framework. Some of the artifacts evident in section two can
be easily removed by tweaking the transition function, but even this has
been avoided. All animations are encoded in the Cinepac Codec by Radius
AVI format for portability. Almost all images are linked to animations,
so please click them to view the results. The presentation format in the
experiments section is as shown below. See hint for
irritation-free browsing of clips.
