Afterimage Toon Blur : procedural generation of cartoon blur for 3D models in real time
One of the notable distinctions of traditional animation techniques is the emphasis placed on motion. Objects in motion often make use of visual stylistic effects to visually enhance the motion, such as speed lines or afterimages. Unfortunately, at present, 2D animation makes much more use of these …

Visibility-Aware Navigation Among Movable Obstacles
We examine the problem of visibility-aware robot navigation among movable obstacles (VANAMO). A variant of the well-known NAMO robotic planning problem, VANAMO puts additional visibility constraints on robot motion and object movability. This new problem formulation lifts the restrictive assumption …
