About This Project

This interactive prototype showcases exploratory research in uncertainty-based edge detection fusion for game graphics. Developed as part of exploring potential thesis directions at Hochschule Darmstadt, this Unity-based application demonstrates how multiple edge detection algorithms can be intelligently combined using Dempster-Shafer Theory of Evidence.

Multiple Edge Detection Methods:

• Sobel Operator - Classic gradient-based detection
• Prewitt Detector - Alternative gradient approach with equal weighting
• Laplacian Method - Second-derivative edge detection for fine details
• Geometric Detection - Modern approach using surface normals, depth, and color information
• DST Fusion - Novel combination of all methods with uncertainty modeling

Interactive Controls:

• Switch between different edge detection algorithms in real-time
• Adjust sensitivity thresholds and parameters
• Modify confidence levels for the fusion system

Research Context: Potential thesis directions exploring robust outline generation for modern game development

Built with: Unity Engine 6, Universal Render Pipeline (URP), Custom Shader Graph implementations

Academic Institution: Hochschule Darmstadt - Animation and Games Program

Note: This is a research prototype demonstrating academic concepts. Some implementation details are adapted for Unity's shader system limitations.
