This is a really great paper that is both complex and straightforward. This paper "present a robust, real-time video stabilization and rolling shutter correction technique based on gyroscopes". I think this is a great paper because it makes a clever use of a commodity technology (smartphones' gyroscopes) to make a state-of-the-art improvement to a central components of phones: video cameras by removing the shakes and rolling shutter artifacts of a video in real-time.

### Procedural modeling
* Both of these papers are great examples of a non-traditional
  application of grammar-driven generation:
  - [Procedural Modeling of Buildings](http://www.peterwonka.net/Publications/pdfs/2006.SG.Mueller.ProceduralModelingOfBuildings.final.pdf)

### Shape grammars

* [Shape Grammars and the Generative Specification of Painting and Sculpture](http://shapegrammar.org/ifip/SGBestPapers72.pdf)
  - A seminal paper that lead to many interesting applications in
    graphics as well as more broadly in design; see also the
    bibliography at [shapegrammar.org](http://shapegrammar.org/).
