Soziale Netzwerke spielen im Alltagsleben der Schülerinnen und Schüler eine entscheidende Rolle. Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Masterarbeit wurde ein Konzept für die Anzeige von Profilvorschlägen innerhalb des sozialen Netzwerks „InstaHub“, welches ein speziell für den Informatikunterricht programmiertes Werkzeug zum Thema „Datenbanken“ darstellt, entwickelt. Als Hürde stellte sich dabei dar, dass von den etablierten sozialen Netzwerken nur wenig bis gar keine Informationen über die Berechnung von Profil- oder Freundschaftsvorschlägen preisgegeben werden. Daher wurde zunächst das Wesen von Beziehungen zwischen Menschen in nicht-internetbasierten und in internetbasierten sozialen Netzwerken sowie die Gründe für Beziehungen zwischen Menschen in diesen Netzwerken dargelegt. Anhand der Beobachtung von Vorschlägen in anderen sozialen Netzwerken sowie der in InstaHub gespeicherten Nutzerdaten wurde ein Algorithmus für Profilvorschläge in InstaHub entworfen und mitsamt einer passenden Visualisierung entsprechend implementiert. Den zweiten Teil der Arbeit bildete eine Unterrichtseinheit für die Sekundarstufe II mit dem Thema Gefahren der Erzeugung und Verarbeitung von personenbezogenen Daten. In der Unterrichtseinheit dienen die Profilvorschläge in InstaHub, die auf von InstaHub über dessen Nutzer gesammelten Daten aufbauen, als Einstieg in die Thematik. Anschließend wird der Fokus von sozialen Netzwerken auf andere Online-Dienste erweitert und auf die Verarbeitung und Weitergabe dieser Daten eingegangen.
Ray tracing acceleration through dedicated data structures has long been an important topic in computer graphics. In general, two different approaches are proposed: spatial and directional acceleration structures. The thesis at hand presents an innovative combined approach of these two areas, which enables a further acceleration of the tracing process of rays. State-of-the-art spatial data structures are used as base structures and enhanced by precomputed directional visibility information based on a sophisticated abstraction concept of shafts within an original structure, the Line Space.
In the course of the work, novel approaches for the precomputed visibility information are proposed: a binary value that indicates whether a shaft is empty or non-empty as well as a single candidate approximating the actual surface as a representative candidate. It is shown how the binary value is used in a simple but effective empty space skipping technique, which allows a performance gain in ray tracing of up to 40% compared to the pure base data structure, regardless of the spatial structure that is actually used. In addition, it is shown that this binary visibility information provides a fast technique for calculating soft shadows and ambient occlusion based on blocker approximations. Although the results contain a certain inaccuracy error, which is also presented and discussed, it is shown that a further tracing acceleration of up to 300% compared to the base structure is achieved. As an extension of this approach, the representative candidate precomputation is demonstrated, which is used to accelerate the indirect lighting computation, resulting in a significant performance gain at the expense of image errors. Finally, techniques based on two-stage structures and a usage heuristic are proposed and evaluated. These reduce memory consumption and approximation errors while maintaining the performance gain and also enabling further possibilities with object instancing and rigid transformations.
All performance and memory values as well as the approximation errors are measured, presented and discussed. Overall, the Line Space is shown to result in a considerate improvement in ray tracing performance at the cost of higher memory consumption and possible approximation errors. The presented findings thus demonstrate the capability of the combined approach and enable further possibilities for future work.
Das Hauptziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist die Absicherung der Qualität eines pharmazeutischen Produktionsprozesses durch die Überprüfung des Volumens mikroskopischer Polymerstäbchen mit einem hochgenauen 3D Messverfahren. Die Polymerstäbchen werden für pharmazeutische Anwendungen hergestellt. Aus Gründen der Qualitätssicherung muss das Istgewicht überprüft werden. Derzeit werden die Polymerstäbchen stichprobenartig mit einer hochpräzisen Waage gewogen. Für die nächste Generation von Polymeren wird angenommen, dass die Produktabmessungen weiter reduziert werden sollen und die Produktionstoleranzen auf 2,5% gesenkt werden. Die daraus resultierenden Genauigkeitsanforderungen übersteigen jedoch die Möglichkeiten der Wiegetechnik. Bei homogenen Materialien ist die Masse proportional zum Volumen. Aus diesem Grund kommt dessen Bestimmung als Alternative in Frage. Dies verschafft Zugang zu optischen Messverfahren und deren Flexibilität und Genauigkeitpotenzial. Für den Entwurf eines auf die Fragestellung angepassten Messkonzeptes sind weiterhin von Bedeutung, dass das Objekt kontaktlos, mit einer Taktzeit von maximal fünf Sekunden vermessen und das Volumen approximiert wird. Die Querschnitte der Polymerstäbchen sind etwa kreisförmig. Aufgrund der Herstellung der Fragmente kann nicht davon ausgegangen werden, dass die Anlageflächen orthogonal zur Symmetrieachse des Objektes sind. Daher muss analysiert werden, wie sich kleine Abweichungen von kreisförmigen Querschnitten sowie die nicht idealen Anlageflächen auswirken. Die maximale Standardabweichung für das Volumen, die nicht überschritten werden sollte, beträgt 2,5%. Dies entspricht einer maximalen Abweichung der Querschnittsfläche um 1106 µm² (Fehlerfortpfanzung). Als Bewertungskriterium wird der Korrelationskoeffzient zwischen den gemessenen Volumina und den Massen bestimmt. Ein ideales Ergebnis wäre 100%. Die Messung zielt auf einen Koeffzienten von 98% ab. Um dies zu erreichen, ist ein präzises Messverfahren für Volumen erforderlich. Basierend auf dem aktuellen Stand der Technik können die vorhandenen optischen Messverfahren nicht verwendet werden. Das Polymerstäbchen wird von einer Kamera im Durchlicht beobachtet. Daher sind der Durchmesser und die Länge sichtbar. Das Objekt wird mittels einer mechanischen Vorrichtung um die Längsachse gedreht. So können Bilder von allen Seiten aufgenommen werden. Der Durchmesser und die Länge werden mit der Bildverarbeitung berechnet. Das neue Konzept vereint die Vorteile der Verfahren: Es ist unempfindlich gegen Farb-/Helligkeitsänderungen und die Bilder können in beliebiger Anzahl aufgenommen werden. Außerdem sind die Erfassung und Auswertung wesentlich schneller. Es wird ein Entwurf und die Umsetzung einer Lösung zur hochpräzisen Volumenmessung von Polymerstäbchen mit optischer Messtechnik und Bildverarbeitung ausgearbeitet. Diese spezielle Prozesslösung in der Prozesslinie (inline) sollte eine 100%ige Qualitätskontrolle während der Produktion garantieren. Die Zykluszeiten des Systems sollte fünf Sekunden pro Polymerstäbchen nicht überschreiten. Die Rahmenbedienungen für den Prozess sind durch die Materialeigenschaften des Objekts, die geringe Objektgröße (Breite = 199 µm, Länge = 935 µm bis 1683 µm) und die undeffinierte Querschnittsform (durch den Trocknungsprozess) vorgegeben. Darüber hinaus sollten die Kosten für den Prozess nicht zu hoch sein. Der Messaufbau sollte klein sein und ohne Sicherheitsvorkehrungen oder Abschirmungen arbeiten. Das entstandene System nimmt die Objekte in verschiedenen Winkelschritten auf, wertet mit Hilfe der Bildverarbeitung die Aufnahmen aus und approximiert das Volumen. Der Korrelationskoffizient zwischen Volumen und Gewicht beträgt für 77 Polymerstäbchen mit einem Gewicht von 37 µg bis 80 µg 99; 87%. Mit Hilfe eines Referenzsystems kann die Genauigkeit der Messung bestimmt werden. Die Standardabweichung sollte maximal 2,5% betragen. Das entstandene System erzielt eine maximale Volumenabweichung von 1,7%. Die Volumenvermessung erfüllt alle Anforderungen und kann somit als Alternative für die Waage verwendet werden.
The Material Point Method (MPM) has proven to be a very capable simulation method in computer graphics that is able to model materials that were previously very challenging to animate [1, 2]. Apart from simulating singular materials, the simulation of multiple materials that interact with each other introduces new challenges. This is the focus of this thesis. It will be shown that the self-collision capabilities of the MPM can naturally handle multiple materials interacting in the same scene on a collision basis, even if the materials use distinct constitutive models. This is then extended by porous interaction of materials as in[3], which also integrates easily with MPM.It will furthermore be shown that regular single-grid MPM can be viewed as a subset of this multi-grid approach, meaning that its behavior can also be achieved if multiple grids are used. The porous interaction is generalized to arbitrary materials and freely changeable material interaction terms, yielding a flexible, user-controllable framework that is independent of specific constitutive models. The framework is implemented on the GPU in a straightforward and simple way and takes advantage of the rasterization pipeline to resolve write-conflicts, resulting in a portable implementation with wide hardware support, unlike other approaches such as [4].
In the context of augmented reality we define tracking as a collection of methods to obtain the position and orientation (pose) of a user. By means of various displaying techniques, this ensures a correct visual overlay of graphical information onto the reality perceived. Precise results for calculation of the camera pose are gained by methods of image processing, usually analyzing the pixels of an image and extracing features, which can be recognized over the image sequence. However, these methods do not regard the process of image synthesis or at least in a very simplyfied way. In contrast, the class of model-based methods assumes a given 3D model of the observed scene. Based on the model data features can be identified to establish correspondences in the camera image. From these feature correspondences the camera pose is calculated. An interesting approach is the strategy of analysis-by-synthesis, regarding the computer graphics rendering process for extending the knowledge about the model by information from image synthesis and other environment variables.
In this thesis the components of a tracking system are identified and further it is analyzed, to what extend information about the model, the rendering process and the environment can contribute to the components for improvement of the tracking process using analysis-by-synthesis. In particular, by using knowledge as topological information, lighting or perspective, the feature synthesis and correspondence finding should lead to visually unambiguous features that can be predicted and evaluated to be suitable for stable tracking of the camera pose.
Studies in recent years have demonstrate adolescents and young adults to have a deficient data protection competence, however children and adolescents between the ages of ten and 13 were mostly not focus of these studies. Therefore, the guiding question of the work is how data protection competence is developed in children and adolescents at a young age in order to be able to infer suitable, educational concepts for this age group. At the beginning of the work, a data protection competence model is derived from a media competence model, which serves as the basis for the further field investigation. A survey was carried out at general secondary schools in Rhineland-Palatinate, which shows that the respondents still have sufficiently developed Risk Assessment Competence, but were insufficiently developed in terms of knowledge, Selection and Usage Competence and the Implementation Competence. Recommendations for actions are given in the last part of the work – containing learning goal descriptions to be possibly implemented in an educational framework – in order to address this issue.
In dieser Arbeit wird die Konzeption, Implementierung und Evaluierung einer Augmented Reality-App beschrieben. Diese wurde mit dem Ziel entwickelt, Objekte im realen Raum mit virtuellen Hilfsmitteln auszumessen, sodass diese Anwendung einen Holzgliedermaßstab ersetzen kann. Hinzu kommt die praktische Speicherung der Messwerte. Angefertigt wurde die App mit der Unity Engine und programmiert in C#.
Schwerpunkte dieser Arbeit sind die Benutzerfreundlichkeit der App, sowie die Eignung von AR Foundation für das Ausmessungstool.
Die Anwendung wird auf die genannten Kriterien im Rahmen eines Nutzertests in einer abschließenden Evaluation bewertet.
Als Ergebnis ließ sich festhalten, dass sich die AR-App noch im Prototyp-Stadium befindet, aber im Allgemeinen schon als benutzerfreundlich gilt. Kleinere Änderungen sollen und müssen noch vorgenommen werden, um auch den Umgang mit dem AR-Tool zu vereinfachen.
Bio-medical data comes in various shapes and with different representations.
Domain experts use such data for analysis or diagnosis,
during research or clinical applications. As the opportunities to obtain
or to simulate bio-medical data become more complex and productive,
the experts face the problem of data overflow. Providing a
reduced, uncluttered representation of data, that maintains the data’s
features of interest falls into the area of Data Abstraction. Via abstraction,
undesired features are filtered out to give space - concerning the
cognitive and visual load of the viewer - to more interesting features,
which are therefore accentuated. To address this challenge, the dissertation
at hand will investigate methods that deal with Data Abstraction
in the fields of liver vasculature, molecular and cardiac visualization.
Advanced visualization techniques will be applied for this purpose.
This usually requires some pre-processing of the data, which will also
be covered by this work. Data Abstraction itself can be implemented
in various ways. The morphology of a surface may be maintained,
while abstracting its visual cues. Alternatively, the morphology may
be changed to a more comprehensive and tangible representation.
Further, spatial or temporal dimensions of a complex data set may
be projected to a lower space in order to facilitate processing of the
data. This thesis will tackle these challenges and therefore provide an
overview of Data Abstraction in the bio-medical field, and associated
challenges, opportunities and solutions.
Molecular dynamics (MD) as a field of molecular modelling has great potential to revolutionize our knowledge and understanding of complex macromolecular structures. Its field of application is huge, reaching from computational chemistry and biology over material sciences to computer-aided drug design. This thesis on one hand provides insights into the underlying physical concepts of molecular dynamics simulations and how they are applied in the MD algorithm, and also briefly illustrates different approaches, as for instance the molecular mechanics and molecular quantum mechanics approaches.
On the other hand an own all-atom MD algorithm is implemented utilizing and simplifying a version of the molecular mechanics based AMBER force field published by \big[\cite{cornell1995second}\big]. This simulation algorithm is then used to show by the example of oxytocin how individual energy terms of a force field function. As a result it has been observed, that applying the bond stretch forces alone caused the molecule to be compacted first in certain regions and then as a whole, and that with adding more energy terms the molecule got to move with increasing flexibility.
In der Computergrafik stellte die Berechnung von Reflexionen lange ein
Problem dar. Doch mit der ständigen Weiterentwicklung der Hardware
und Vorstellung neuer Verfahren ist eine realitätsnahe,
echtzeitfähige(durchschnittlich 60 FPS) Berechnung von Reflexionen möglich. In der folgenden Ausarbeitung werden verschiedene Reflexionsverfahren vorgestellt. Alle mathematischen und physikalischen Grundlagen werden gegeben, um die Algorithmen nachvollziehen zu können. Da eine Reflexion immer das Abtasten eines reflektierten Vektors bedeutet, werden zwei verschiedene Abtastungsverfahren für blickabhängige Reflexionen vorgestellt und anschließend implementiert. Zuletzt werden die Verfahren auf Basis von Qualität und Performance gegenübergestellt.
Since the invention of U-net architecture in 2015, convolutional networks based on its encoder-decoder approach significantly improved results in image analysis challenges. It has been proven that such architectures can also be successfully applied in different domains by winning numerous championships in recent years. Also, the transfer learning technique created an opportunity to push state-of-the-art benchmarks to a higher level. Using this approach is beneficial for the medical domain, as collecting datasets is generally a difficult and expensive process.
In this thesis, we address the task of semantic segmentation with Deep Learning and make three main contributions and release experimental results that have practical value for medical imaging.
First, we evaluate the performance of four neural network architectures on the dataset of the cervical spine MRI scans. Second, we use transfer learning from models trained on the Imagenet dataset and compare it to randomly initialized networks. Third, we evaluate models trained on the bias field corrected and raw MRI data. All code to reproduce results is publicly available online.
Constituent parsing attempts to extract syntactic structure from a sentence. These parsing systems are helpful in many NLP applications such as grammar checking, question answering, and information extraction. This thesis work is about implementing a constituent parser for German language using neural networks. Over the past, recurrent neural networks have been used in building a parser and also many NLP applications. In this, self-attention neural network modules are used intensively to understand sentences effectively. With multilayered self-attention networks, constituent parsing achieves 93.68% F1 score. This is improved even further by using both character and word embeddings as a representation of the input. An F1 score of 94.10% was the best achieved by constituent parser using only the dataset provided. With the help of external datasets such as German Wikipedia, pre-trained ELMo models are used along with self-attention networks achieving 95.87% F1 score.

This bachelor thesis deals with the conception, implementation and evaluation of a Jump'n'Run game and the consideration of the influence of achievment systems on players. In the game Age of Tunes you play Bardur, the beardless bard and have to try to free the cursed magical creatures in the world Harmonica. The emphasis of the thesis was the clean conception and gradual development of the game, appealing graphic quality, integration of opponents, a mini-game and the consideration of effects of an achievment system on players. In a final evaluation the game and the behavior could be evaluated regarding the achievments.
The following bachelor thesis gives an overview of various approaches and techniques for procedural generation of three-dimensional city models. Especially the usage of generative grammars is being examined and later used for the implementation of an own application. Its focus was the embedding of predetermined primary street networks as well as the procedural generation of secondary street networks and different kinds of buildings. The application allows the efficient creation of extensive and variably structured city models. However, there are restrictions regarding the realism and variation of the results.
In dieser Arbeit wird das Echtzeitrendering von Wolken von der Theorie bis hin zur Entwicklung derselben behandelt. Dabei sollen die visuellen Eigenschaften der Wolken sowie die unterschiedliche Wolkentypen simuliert werden. Dabei ist die Berechnung der Beleuchtung essentiell für ein glaubwürdiges Ergebnis. Die Rendertechniken nutzen dabei unterschiedliche Noise-Texturen; für die Modulierung der Wolken sind es hauptsächlich Perlin- und Perlin-Worley-Texturen. Das Rendern der Wolken wird per Compute-Shader durchgeführt um die Echtzeitfähigkeit zu gewährleisten. Um die Performance zu steigern, werden Temporal Reprojektion und andere Optimierungstechniken angewendet.
This Bachelor thesis describes the conception, implementation and evaluation of a playful augmented reality application for mobile devices. Building on the ARCore SDK, the game pARcours was developed, where the player can place virtual objects in the real environment to build their own parcours. This must be flown through with a likewise virtual aircraft. The main focus in the implementation of the game was on the interaction with the virtual objects and the collision detection of these with real surfaces. Furthermore, various input methods for building the parcours and controlling the aircrafts were examined. In a final evaluation both the game and the various input methods could be evaluated, as well as ARCore with regard to the development of augmented reality applications.
This thesis deals with the conception and implementation of an action role-playing game using the game engine Unity. Within the context of an evaluation, the game was supposed to be evaluated with regard to the usability of the integrated control modes, the visual conviction of the animations and the user-friendliness of the tools and visualizations provided. In addition, weaknesses and problems in the game were to be identified through open feedback. The results of the evaluation showed that the game is still expandable in terms of usability and user-friendliness, but has left a good impression on the test persons.
Simulation von Rauch
(2019)
This bachelor thesis deals with the simulation of smoke in a particle
system. Here the possibilities are investigated to implement smoke as
realistically as possible in a particle system and to calculate it in real time.
The physical simulation is based on the work of Müller and
Ren, who deal with the physical properties of fluids and gases.
The simulation was implemented on the GPU using C++, OpenGL and
the compute shaders available in OpenGL. Special attention was paid
to the performance of the simulation. Hoetzlein techniques are
used to accelerate the particle system. Two acceleration methods were
then implemented and compared. The runtime, but also the used memory
space of the GPU is discussed.
In this thesis, the theory of video seethrough is fundamentally presented on the basis of a panoramic view from several camera frames of
different perspectives. Based on this, a system was designed and implemented in which video streams are put together into a panoramic image by
perspective distortion. This is then projected onto the inside of a cylinder
with the virtual position of the viewer in the middle. Finally, the resulting
video panoramas will be displayed in VR glasses. Within the implementation some optimizations are also presented, among others those that make
the system real-time capable beyond the task. Furthermore, the developed
system will be evaluated and compared with two other methods.
This thesis is about the design and the implementation of a virtual reality experience. The goal is to answer two questions: Is it possible to create an immersive virtual reality experience which is mainly using impulses and triggers to scare and frighten users? Secondly, is this immersion strong enough to create an illusion in which the user can't separate the real world from the virtual world? To realise this project the design program Unity3D as well as Visual Studios 2017 were used. Furthermore, in order to verify that the experience is indeed immersive for the user, an experiment with a sample size of seven people was created. Afterwards the candidates were interviewed via a questionnaire how they felt during the virtual reality application. As a result the study showed that the application has tendencies to be immersive but the users were still aware of the situation. It can be concluded that the immersion was not strong enough to fool users regarding the separation of virtual and real world.
Clubs, such as Scouts, rely on the work of their volunteer members, who have a variety of tasks to accomplish. Often there are sudden changes in their organization teams and offices, whereby planning steps are lost and inexperience in planning occurs. Since the special requirements are not covered by already existing tools, ScOuT, a planning tool for the organization administration, is designed and developed in this work to support clubs with regard to the mentioned problems. The focus was on identifying and using various suitable guidelines and heuristic methods to create a usable interface. The developed product was evaluated empirically by a user survey in terms of usability.
The result of this study shows that already a high degree of the desired goal could be reached by the inclusion of the guidelines and methods. From this it can be concluded that with the help of user-specific concept ideas and the application of suitable guidelines and methods, a suitable basis for a usable application to support clubs can be created.
Global-Illumination is an important part of the rendering of realistic images. However, the computational complexity of an accurate simulation of these effects is too high for the use in real time applications. In this paper Light-Propagation-Volumes, Screen-Space-Reflections and multiple variants of Screen-Space-Ambient-Occlusion are investigated as a solution for real time rendering. It is shown that they are fast enough for the use in real time applications. The various techniques approximate only a few aspects of the light transport, but complement each other.
The goal of simulations in computergraphics is the simulation of realistic phenomena of materials. Therefore, internal and external acting forces are accumulated in each timestep. From those, new velocities get calculated that ultimately change the positions of geometry or particles. Position Based Dynamics omits thie velocity layer and directly works on the positions. Constraints are a set of rules defining the simulated material. Those rules must not be violated throughout the simulation. If this happens, the violating positions get changed so that the constraints get fullfilled once again. In this work a PBD-framework gets implemented, that allows simulations of solids and fluids. Constraints get solved using GPU implementations of Gauss-Seidel and Gauss-Jakobi solvers. Results are physically plausible simulations that are real-time capable.
The development of a game engine is considered a non-trivial problem. [3] The architecture of such simulation software must be able to manage large amounts of simulation objects in real-time while dealing with “crosscutting concerns” [3,p. 36] between subsystems. The use of object oriented paradigms to model simulation objects in class hierarchies has been reported as incompatible with constantly changing demands during game development [2, p. 9], resulting in anti-patterns and eventual, messy refactoring.[13]
Alternative architectures using data oriented paradigms revolving around object composition and aggregation have been proposed as a result. [13, 9, 1, 11]
This thesis describes the development of such an architecture with the explicit goals to be simple, inherently compatible with data oriented design, and to make reasoning about performance characteristics possible. Concepts are formally defined to help analyze the problem and evaluate results. A functional implementation of the architecture is presented together with use cases common to simulation software.
This bachelor thesis investigates the utilization of the Wii Balance Board
in virtual reality applications. For the investigation a snowboard game is
implemented, in which the virtual avatar can be controlled with the pressure
sensors of the Wii Balance Board. The user should be able to move
playfully and intuitively through the virtual environment by balancing his
body. The immersiveness and the influence on motion sickness and cybersickness
will be investigated. In Addition, the Wii Balance Board will be
compared with the Xbox Controller. The aim of the work is to evaluate
whether the Wii Balance Board is able to allow free movement in virtual
environments and whether it is more advantageous to use it rather than
a conventional controller. The results of the survey indicate that the Wii
Balance Board has a positive influence on the immersivness of the game,
despite better game results by using a conventional controller. The survey
also reveals that the use of the Wii Balance Board is responsible for more
motion-sickness/cybersickness cases.
Deformable Snow Rendering
(2019)
Accurate snow simulation is key to capture snow's iconic visuals. Intricate
methods exist that attempt to grasp snow behaviour in a holistic manner. Computational complexity prevents them from reaching real-time performance. This thesis presents three techniques making use of the GPU that focus on the deformation of a snow surface in real-time. The approaches are examined by their ability to scale with an increasing number of deformation actors and their visual portrayal of snow deformation. The findings indicate that the approaches maintain real-time performance well into several hundred individual deformation actors. However, these approaches each have their individual restrictions handicapping the visual results. An experimental approach is to combine the techniques at reduced deformation actor count to benefit from the detailed, merged deformation pattern.
With the appearance of modern virtual reality (VR) headsets on the consumer market, there has been the biggest boom in the history of VR technology. Naturally, this was accompanied by an increasing focus on the problems of current VR hardware. Especially the control in VR has always been a complex topic.
One possible solution is the Leap Motion, a hand tracking device that was initially developed for desktop use, but with the last major software update it can be attached to standard VR headsets. This device allows very precise tracking of the user’s hands and fingers and their replication in the virtual world.
The aim of this work is to design virtual user interfaces that can be operated with the Leap Motion to provide a natural method of interaction between the user and the VR environment. After that, subject tests are performed to evaluate their performance and compare them to traditional VR controllers.
In dieser Arbeit wird eine Unterrichtsreihe beschrieben, welche aus den drei Bereichen „mathematische Relationen“, „Datenbanken in Sozialen Netzwerken“ und „Datenschutz“ zusammengesetzt ist. Zu jedem Bereich wird ein eigener Unterrichtsentwurf präsentiert.
Außerdem wurde im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit ein Programm zur Visualisierung der Relationen des Sozialen Netzwerks Instahub entworfen, welches im Anschluss an die Beschreibung der Unterrichtsreihe aufgeführt wird.
Diese Arbeit soll das von Dietz und Oppermann entwickelte Planspiel „Datenschutz 2.0“ an den heutigen Alltag der Schüler anpassen, die Benutzung in der Sekundarstufe II ermöglichen und die technischen und gesetzlichen Problematiken des Planspiels beheben. Das mit dem Planspiel aufgegriffene Thema Datenschutz ist im rheinland-pfälzischen Informatik-Lehrplan für die Sekundarstufe II verankert. Hier wird der Begriff Datenschutz in der Reihe „Datenerhebung unter dem Aspekt Datenschutz beurteilen“ genannt. Jedoch werden in dem Planspiel keine Daten erhoben, sondern die selbst hinterlassenen Datenspuren untersucht. Diese Form des Datenschutzes ist im Grundkurs in der vorgeschlagenen Reihe „Datensicherheit unter der Berücksichtigung kryptologischer Verfahren erklären und beachten“ unter dem Thema Kommunikation in Rechnernetzen zu finden. Im Leistungskurs steht die Datensicherheit in gleichbenannter Reihe und Thema und in der Reihe „Datenerhebung unter dem Aspekt Datenschutz beurteilen“ im Thema Wechselwirkung zwischen Informatiksysteme, Individuum und Gesellschaft.
Stylized image triangulation
(2019)
Stylized image triangulation is a popular tool of image processing. Results can be found on magazine covers or bought as a piece of art. Common use cases are filters by mobile apps or programs dedicated to automated triangulation. This thesis is based upon a paper that achieves new results formulating the adaptive dynamic triangulation as optimization problem. With this approach, new results concerning visual and technical quality are accomplished. One aim of this thesis is to make this approach accessible to as many users as possible. To reach users, a mobile app called Mesh is designed and implemented. A client-host-system is presented which relieves the app from computing the result requiring a lot of resources. Therefore, transferring the approach to a CPU based solution is part of the thesis. Also, a webserver is implemented that handles the communication between app and algorithm. “Mesh” enables the user to send a arbitrary image to the server whose result can be downloaded.
Part of the research deals with optimizing the method. As the main step, the gradient descent method, which minimizes an approximation error, is examined with three different approaches re-defining the movement of a point: The limitation of the directions of movement in a meaningful manner, diagonal directions and a dynamically repositioning of points are analyzed. Results show no improvement of visual quality using diagonal instead of horizontal and vertical steps. Disallowing a point to take its last position, the limitation of step opportunities results in a loss of visual quality but reaches an intended global error earlier. The dynamically repositioning rests upon a vectorbased solution that weights the directions and applies a factor to each of them. This results in a longer computational time but also in a higher visual quality.
Inspired by the work of Josh Bryan, another part of research aims at imitating an artists style. With the use of pseudo-random events combined with a geometryshader, a more natural look shall be achieved. This method illustrates a way of adding minor details to a rendering. To imitate an artist's work, a more complex and more precise triangulation is needed. As the last aspect, a renderstyle is presented. The style uses a center for its effect moving the triangles of a triangulation apart. The arbitrary choice of placing the centrum enables the renderstyle to be used in animations.
In order to plan the interior of a room, various programs for computers,
smart phones or head-mounted displays are available. The transfer to the
real environment is a difficult task. Therefore an augmented reality approach
is developed to illustrate the planning in the real room. If several
people want to contribute their ideas, conventional systems require to
work on one device together. The aim of this master thesis is to design and
develop a collaborative spatial planning application in augmented reality.
The application is developed in Unity with ARCore and C#.
In this master's thesis the principle of hybrid ray tracing, consisting of a rasterization pipeline which includes ray tracing techniques for certain effects, is explained and the implementation of an application which uses a hybrid approach in which ray tracing is used to calculate shadows, ambient occlusion, and reflections and combines those with direct lighting is documented and explained. Hybrid ray tracing is based on the idea of combining the performance and flexibility of rasterization-based approaches with ray tracing to overcome the limitation of not being able to access the complete surrounding geometry at any point in the scene.
While describing the implementation of said application, the RTX API which is being used for ray tracing is explained as well Vulkan, the graphics API used.
Based on the results and the insights gained while using the RTX API, it is assessed in regards of its usage scenarios and technical sophistication.
A gonioreflectometer is a device to measure the reflection properties of arbitrary materials. In this work, such an apparatus is being built from easily obtainable parts. Therefore three stepper-motors and 809 light-emitting diodes are controlled by an Arduino microcontroller. RGB-images are captured with an industrial camera which serve as refelction data. Furthermore, a control software with several capture programs and a renderer for displaying the measured materials are implemented. These allow capturing and rendering entire bidirectional reflection distribution functions (BRDFs) by which also complex anisotropic material properties can be represented. Although the quality of the results has some artifacts due to shadows of the camera, these artifacts can be largely removed by using special algorithms like inpainting. In addition, the goniorefelctometer is applied to other use cases. One can perform 3D scans, light field capturing and light staging without altering the construction. The quality of these processes also meet the expectations in a positive way. Thus, the gonioreflectometer built in this work can be seen as a widely applicable and economical alternative to other publications.
Raytracing von NURBS
(2019)
NURBS sind eine Art von Splines, die besondere Eigenschaften besitzen.
Das ray tracen von NURBS ist eine der Darstellungsmöglichkeiten von NURBS.
Dies ist durch das konkrete berechnen von Schnittpunkten mit Strahlen
möglich. Durch die vielseitige Möglichkeiten der Modellierung mittels NURBS
sind diese beliebt in Anwendungen die im Maschinenbau verwendet werden
und auch anderen CAD-Programmen. Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit der
Berechnung von NURBS-Kurven und -Oberflächen, dem direkten rendern
von diesen und wägt ab ob sich der Aufwand dafür im Vergleich zu Tesselierung
lohnt.
This bachelor thesis implements a system for camera tracking based on a particle filter. For this purpose, a marker tracking is realized and the camera position is calculated based on the marker position. The marker is to be found with a particle filter and in order to accomplish this possible marker positions are simulated, also called particles, and weighted with Likelyhood-Functions. The focus lies on the evaluation of different Likelihood-Functions of the particle filter. The Likelyhood functions were implemented in CUDA as part of the implementation.
Bildsynthese durch Raytracing gewinnt durch Hardware-Unterstützung in Verbraucher-Grafikkarten eine immer größer werdende Relevanz. Der Linespace dient dabei als eine neue, vielversprechende Beschleunigungsstruktur. Durch seine richtungsbasierte Natur ist es sinnvoll, ihn in andere Datenstrukturen zu integrieren. Bisher wurde er in ein Uniform-Grid integriert. Problematisch werden einheitlich große Voxel allerdings bei Szenen mit variierbarem Detailgrad. Diese Arbeit führt den adaptiven Linespace ein, eine Kombination aus Octree und Linespace. Die Struktur wird hinsichtlich ihrer Beschleunigungsfähigkeit untersucht und mit dem bisherigen Grid-Ansatz verglichen. Es wird gezeigt, dass der adaptive Linespace für hohe Grid-Auflösungen besser skaliert, durch eine ineffiziente GPU-Nutzung allerdings keine optimalen Werte erzielt.
The goal of this bachelor thesis was to add an image processing step to the music recognition software AudiVeris, in order to extract data even from faulty music sheet images. The procedure starts with a binarization using a regional version of Otsu's method. Following this the music sheet is searched for possible bendings, similar to those a hardcover book would cause. To achieve this the Hough transform is used for line detection and the k-means algorithm for cluster detection. Thereafter the music image is straightened using the discovered curvature.
Tracking is an integral part of many modern applications, especially in areas like autonomous systems and Augmented Reality. For performing tracking there are a wide array of approaches. One that has become a subject of research just recently is the utilization of Neural Networks. In the scope of this master thesis an application will be developed which uses such a Neural Network for the tracking process. This also requires the creation of training data as well as the creation and training of a Neural Network. Subsequently the usage of Neural Networks for tracking will be analyzed and evaluated. This includes several aspects. The quality of the tracking for different degrees of freedom will be checked as well as the the impact of the Neural Network on the applications performance. Additionally the amount of required training data is investigated, the influence of the network architecture and the importance of providing depth data as part of the networks input. This should provide an insight into how relevant this approach could be for its adoption in future products.
In order to simulate realistic motion sequences, muscles must be able to be modelled anatomically correct. Yet it is only possible in SimPack to define muscles as a straight line between two points. This thesis presents an approach where ellipses can be defined through which a muscle must pass. The main problem is to calculate the length of this muscle through the ellipses. An algorithm is presented that calculates the shortest path of a muscle path through this ellipses. This algorithm is then implemented in Fortran 90 and integrated into an existing muscle model in SimPack.
In no field of computer science has the hardware developed as rapidly as in the field of computer graphics. Today, we can display complex, geometric scenes in real time in immersive systems and also integrate elaborate simulations.
The aim of this work is to realize the simulation of paint splashes in a virtual world. For this purpose, an application will be implemented with the help of Unity, that uses three different techniques to color the environment with the help of paint splashes. Based on this application, the limits and possibilities of the techniques in virtual environments are examined more closely.
This examination shows that an inverse projection produces the best results.
Ist es möglich, allein mittels VR-Headset bei Nutzern Immersion zu
erzeugen? Zur Beantwortung dieser Frage werden zwei Simulationen einer
Achterbahnfahrt ohne haptisches Feedback mittels der Unreal Engine
4.20.3 für ein HTC-Vive VR Headset entwickelt und implementiert. Die
zweite Simulation unterscheidet sich von der ersten durch die Darbietung
außergewöhnlicher Ereignisse während der Fahrt, für die vermutet wird,
dass sie das Immersionserleben verstärken. Elf Probanden nahmen an der
Untersuchung teil. Die Auswertung eines Fragebogens zur Erfassung der
Intensität der Immersion und der Antworten auf offenen Fragen zeigt, dass
Immersion in beiden Simulation erfolgreich erzeugt werden konnte. Manche
Merkmale der Simulation vertieften bei einzelnen Probanden das immersive
Erleben, bei anderen dagegen nicht. Die Bedeutung der Ergebnisse
und Optimierungsmöglichkeiten für künftige Studien werden diskutiert.
Simulation von Schnee
(2019)
Using physics simulations natural phenomena can be replicated
with the computer. The aim is to calculate a physical feature as correclty as
possible in order to draw conclusions for the real world. Fields of Application
are, for example, medicine, industry, but also games or films.
Snow is a very complex natural phenomenon due to its physical structure
and properties. To simulate snow, different material properties have to be
considered.
The most important method that deals with the simulation of snow and its
dynamics is the material point method. It combines the Lagrangian particles
based on continuum mechanics with a Cartesian grid. The grid enables
communication between the snow particles, which are not actually connected.
For calculation of particles data is transferred from these particles to
the grid nodes. There, calculations are carried out with information about
neighboring particles. The results are then transferred back to the original
particles. Using GPGPU techniques, physical simulations can be implemented
on the graphics card. Procedures like the material point method
can be parallelized well with these techniques.
This paper deals with the physical basics of the material point method and
implements them on the graphics card using compute shaders. Then performance
and quality are evaluated.
Unterschiedliche Quellen (Print-Medien, Fernsehberichte u. Ä.) berichten immer wieder davon, dass es mit der Datenschutzkompetenz bei Kindern und Jugendlichen schlecht bestellt ist. Daher ist dem Thema Datenschutz im Informatikunterricht eine besondere Bedeutung zuzuschreiben.
Im Rahmen der Dissertation von Herrn Hug wird ein Datenschutzkompetenzmodell [Quelle INFOS17] entwickelt, anhand dessen die Datenschutzkompetenz von Schülerinnen und Schülern im Altern von 10 bis 13 Jahren gemessen werden kann.
Im Rahmen dieser Masterarbeit werden existierende Unterrichtsmaterialien zum Thema Datenschutz gesammelt und dazu eine Unterrichtsreihe entwickelt. Hierbei werden auch eigene Zugänge aufzeigt, um ein kohärentes und abgeschlossenes Projekt zu entwerfen, bei dem aktuelle Gefahren für Schülerinnen und Schüler aufgezeigt werden. Ziel ist es, dass die Schülerinnen und Schüler dazu befähigt werden, ihr Verhalten bezüglich Datenschutz besser einzuschätzen und verantwortungsvoller mit ihren persönlichen Daten umzugehen. Im Rahmen eines Feldversuches in einer 6. Klasse eines Gymnasiums wurde die Unterrichtsreihe erprobt.
This work describes a novel software tool for visualizing anatomical segmentations of medical images. It was developed as part of a bachelor's thesis project, with a view to supporting research into automatic anatomical brain image segmentation. The tool builds on a widely-used visualization approach for 3D image volumes, where sections in orthogonal directions are rendered on screen as 2D images. It implements novel display modes that solve common problems with conventional viewer programs. In particular, it features a double-contour display mode to aid the user's spatial orientation in the image, as well as modes for comparing two competing segmentation labels pertaining to one and the same anatomical region. The tool was developed as an extension to an existing open-source software suite for medical image processing. The visualization modes are, however, suitable for implementation in the context of other viewer programs that follow a similar rendering approach.

The mitral valve is one of four human heart valves. It is located in the left heart and acts as a unidirectional passageway for blood between the left atrium and the left ventricle. A correctly functioning mitral valve prevents a backflow of blood into the pulmonary circulation (lungs) and thus constitutes a vital part of the cardiac cycle. Pathologies of the mitral valve can manifest in a variety of symptoms with severity ranging from chest pain and fatigue to pulmonary edema (fluid accumulation in the tissue and air space of lungs), which may ultimately cause respiratory failure.
Malfunctioning mitral valves can be restored through complex surgical interventions, which greatly benefit from intensive planning and pre-operative analysis. Visualization techniques provide a possibility to enhance such preparation processes and can also facilitate post-operative evaluation. The work at hand extends current research in this field, building upon patient-specific mitral valve segmentations developed at the German Cancer Research Center, which result in triangulated 3D models of the valve surface. The core of this work will be the construction of a 2D-view of these models through global parameterization, a method that can be used to establish a bijective mapping between a planar parameter domain and a surface embedded in higher dimensions.
A flat representation of the mitral valve provides physicians with a view of the whole surface at once, similar to a map. This allows assessment of the valve's area and shape without the need for different viewing angles. Parts of the valve that are occluded by geometry in 3D become visible in 2D.
An additional contribution of this work will be the exploration of different visualizations of the 3D and 2D mitral valve representations. Features of the valve can be highlighted by associating them with specified colors, which can for instance directly convey pathology indicators.
Quality and effectiveness of the proposed methods were evaluated through a survey conducted at the Heidelberg University Hospital.
Im Bereich der Computergraphik bilden die Nicht-Photorealistischen Renderingverfahren einen Schwerpunkt in der technischen und wissenschaftlichen Visualisierung, vor allem aber in den künstlerischen Bereichen. Verschiedene Kunststile, sowie Zeichenmaterialien und ihre Eigenschaften stellen unterschiedliche Herausforderungen dar. Eine dieser Herausforderungen ist hierbei die Simulation flüssiger Zeichenmittel.
Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Erstellung eines interaktiven Zeichensystems für ein flüssiges Zeichenmittel, der Aquarellmalerei. Für die Simulation wird eine raue Zeichengrundlage generiert, sowie die Fluid Simulation und das optische Farbverhalten der Aquarellmalerei implementiert.
The aim of this work is to develop a simple concept for monitoring dogs that are alone at home for several hours. The prototypical implementation of such a "DogCam" can be considered as proof of concept. The basis for the prototype‘s implementation are the requirements identified within a conducted requirement analysis. Furthermore, the present work shows which improvements and extensions of the prototypical "DogCam" are possible and which similar projects already exist.
