    A Course on the Digital Humanities for the Premodern World
    (The Eurographics Association, 2022) Rushmeier, Holly; Chen, Anne; Ponchio, Federico; Pintus, Ruggero
    With the roots of digital humanities in text-centric disciplines, coursework has traditionally focused on instruction in skills of relevance for text-based resources, while digital methods for non-textual sources have remained in the minority. We describe a digital humanities course targeted at undergraduate computer science majors and graduate students in cultural heritage adjacent fields. The course foregrounds a specific blend of text-based and visual methods of relevance to practitioners in cultural heritage fields. Acknowledging that digital projects in the humanities are more often than not cross-disciplinary and collaborative, the course is designed to emphasize visual computing techniques while helping students develop experience in cross-disciplinary communication. The requirements for the two groups are different to ensure that all students are challenged. The course includes a substantial group project. Each group is composed of both humanities and computer science students and the project goal is defined by the humanities students. The purpose of the project is both to apply methods learned in the course and to learn collaboration in a team with individuals with different levels and types of expertise.

    A Low-Dimensional Perceptual Space for Intuitive BRDF Editing
    (The Eurographics Association, 2021) Shi, Weiqi; Wang, Zeyu; Soler, Cyril; Rushmeier, Holly; Bousseau, Adrien and McGuire, Morgan
    Understanding and characterizing material appearance based on human perception is challenging because of the highdimensionality and nonlinearity of reflectance data. We refer to the process of identifying specific characteristics of material appearance within the same category as material estimation, in contrast to material categorization which focuses on identifying inter-category differences [FNG15]. In this paper, we present a method to simulate the material estimation process based on human perception. We create a continuous perceptual space for measured tabulated data based on its underlying low-dimensional manifold. Unlike many previous works that only address individual perceptual attributes (such as gloss), we focus on extracting all possible dimensions that can explain the perceived differences between appearances. Additionally, we propose a new material editing interface that combines image navigation and sliders to visualize each perceptual dimension and facilitate the editing of tabulated BRDFs. We conduct a user study to evaluate the efficacy of the perceptual space and the interface in terms of appearance matching.

    New Haven Building Archive: A Database for the Collection, Study, and Communication of Local Built Heritage
    (The Eurographics Association, 2018) Rubin, Elihu; Akhtar, Saima; Brown, Benedict; Rushmeier, Holly; Sablatnig, Robert and Wimmer, Michael
    The New Haven Building Archive (NHBA) is a digital, mobile, and interactive field guide to New Haven, Connecticut's built heritage. As an interactive digital guide and database for local buildings, the NHBA harnesses digital mapping technologies, place-based storytelling and community-based research. Ultimately, the development of the NHBA will aid in the co-production of knowledge about the city by students, academic researchers and local citizens in a way that will facilitate conversations about the historical patterns and future development of New Haven while suggesting a model for engaged teaching and research for urban studies more broadly.
