    • Techniques for Realistic Visualization of Fluids: A Survey 

      Adabala, Neeharika; Manohar, Swami (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 2002)
      Visualization of fluids has wide applications in science, engineering and entertainment. Various methodologies of visualizing fluids have evolved which emphasize on capturing different aspects of the fluids accurately. In ...

    • Texture Particles 

      Dischler, J.-M.; Maritaud, K.; Levy, B.; Ghazanfarpour, D. (Blackwell Publishers, Inc and the Eurographics Association, 2002)
      This paper presents an analytical extension of texture synthesis techniques based on the distribution of elementary texture components. Our approach is similar to the bombing, cellular, macrostructured and lapped textures ...

    • Towards Interactive Real-Time Crowd Behavior Simulation 

      Ulicny, Branislav; Thalmann, Daniel (Blackwell Publishers, Inc and the Eurographics Association, 2002)
      While virtual crowds are becoming common in non-real-time applications, the real-time domain is still relativelyunexplored. In this paper we discuss the challenges involved in creating such simulations, especially the ...

    • Transparency in Interactive Technical Illustrations 

      Diepstraten, J.; Weiskopf, D.; Ertl, T. (Blackwell Publishers, Inc and the Eurographics Association, 2002)
      This paper describes how technical illustrations containing opaque and non-opaque objects can be automatically generated. Traditional methods to show transparency in manual drawings are evaluated to extract a small and ...

    • Universal Rendering Sequences for Transparent Vertex Caching of Progressive Meshes 

      Bogomjakov, A.; Gotsman, C. (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 2002)
      We present methods to generate rendering sequences for triangle meshes which preserve mesh locality as much as possible. This is useful for maximizing vertex reuse when rendering the mesh using a FIFO vertex buffer, such ...

    • Using Perceptual Texture Masking for Efficient Image Synthesis 

      Walter, Bruce; Pattanaik, Sumanta N.; Greenberg, Donald P. (Blackwell Publishers, Inc and the Eurographics Association, 2002)
      Texture mapping has become indispensable in image synthesis as an inexpensive source of rich visual detail. Less obvious, but just as useful, is its ability to mask image errors due to inaccuracies in geometry or lighting. ...

    • Virtual Visual Servoing: a framework for real-time augmented reality 

      Marchand, Eric; Chaumette, Francois (Blackwell Publishers, Inc and the Eurographics Association, 2002)
      This paper presents a framework to achieve real-time augmented reality applications. We propose a framework based on the visual servoing approach well known in robotics. We consider pose or viewpoint computation as a similar ...

    • Visualizing Crowds in Real-Time 

      Tecchia, Franco; Loscos, Celine; Chrysanthou, Yiorgos (Blackwell Publishers, Inc and the Eurographics Association, 2002)
      Real-time crowd visualization has recently attracted quite an interest from the graphics community and, asinteractive applications become even more complex, there is a natural demand for new and unexplored applicationscenarios. ...

    • Vortex Tracking and Visualisation in a Flow Past a Tapered Cylinder 

      Reinders, Freek; Sadarjoen, I. Ari; Vrolijk, Benjamin; Post, Frits H. (Blackwell Publishers, Inc and the Eurographics Association, 2002)
      In this paper we explore a novel combined application of two of our existing visualisation techniques to thetracking of 3D vortex tubes in an unsteady flow. The applied techniques are the winding-angle vortex extractiontechnique ...

    • Web 2D Graphics File Formats 

      Duce, David; Herman, Ivan; Hopgood, Bob (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 2002)
      The earliest Web browsers focussed on the display of textual information. When graphics were added, essentially only image graphics and image file formats were supported. For a significant range of applications, image ...
