    • Image Registration in a Coarse Three-Dimensional Virtual Environment 

      Laycock, R. G.; Day, A. M. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2006)
      In recent years, the availability of off-the-shelf geometric data for an urban environment has increased. During rendering, ground level images are mapped onto the facades of the buildings to improve the visual quality of ...
    • In Memoriam: Juergen Schoenhut 

      Duce, David (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2006)
    • In Memoriam: Professor Dick Grimsdale 1929-2005 

      Willis, Phil (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2006)
    • Particle Oriented Collision Detection using Simplicial Coverings and Tetra-Trees 

      Jimenez, Juan Jose; Feito, Francisco R.; Segura, Rafael J.; Ogayar, Carlos J. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2006)
      Collision detection (CD) among complex objects in motion is an open question because of its algorithmic complexity. In this paper, we present a CD algorithm between a particle and a complex rigid solid. In order to represent ...
    • A PBL Experience in the Teaching of Computer Graphics 

      Marti, E.; Gil, D.; Julia, C. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2006)
      Project-Based Learning (PBL) is an educational strategy to improve student s learning capability that, in recent years, has had a progressive acceptance in undergraduate studies. This methodology is based on solving a ...
    • Principles and Applications of Computer Graphics in Medicine 

      Vidal, Franck; Bello, F.; Brodlie, K.W.; John, N.W.; Gould, D.; Phillips, R.; Avis, N.J. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2006)
      The medical domain provides excellent opportunities for the application of computer graphics, visualization and virtual environments, with the potential to help improve healthcare and bring benefits to patients. This survey ...
    • Rendering Soft Shadows using Multilayered Shadow Fins 

      Cai, Xiao-Hua; Jia, Yun-Tao; Wang, Xi; Hu, Shi-Min; Martin, Ralph R. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2006)
      Generating soft shadows in real time is difficult. Exact methods (such as ray tracing, and multiple light source simulation) are too slow, while approximate methods often overestimate the umbra regions. In this paper, we ...
    • Speed-up Technique for a Local Automatic Colour Equalization Model 

      Artusi, A.; Gatta, C.; Marini, D.; Purgathofer, W.; Rizzi, A. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2006)
      In this paper we propose a speed-up technique for a local automatic colour equalization operator derived from a model of the human vision system. This method is characterized by local and global filtering effects, that ...
    • VAST 2005 November 7-11, Pisa, Italy 

      Mudge, Mark; Ryan, Nick; Scopigno, Roberto (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2006)
    • Virtual Reality Course-A Natural Enrichment of Computer Graphics Classes 

      Zara, J. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2006)
      This paper shows how the Virtual Reality (VR) course can naturally extend and practice a wide range of Computer Graphics (CG) principles and programming techniques. Thanks to real-time processing requirements, attention ...
    • A Weighted Error Metric and Optimization Method for Antialiasing Patterns 

      Laine, S.; Aila, T. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2006)
      Displaying a synthetic image on a computer display requires determining the colors of individual pixels. To avoid aliasing, multiple samples of the image can be taken per pixel, after which the color of a pixel may be ...
