    • CHARACTERIZATION OF TOPOGRAPHIC SURFACES 

      Falcidieno, Bianca; Spagnuolo, Michela (Eurographics Association, 1990)
      This paper presents a method for extracting and representang features of a topographic surface approximated by triangular tales An algorithm as given which computes characteristic regions (a. e. regions having concave, ...

    • COLOR IMAGE RECONSTRUCTION FROM NONUNIFORM SPARSE SAMPLES USING A THIN PLATE MODEL 

      Metaxas, Dimitris; Milios, Evangelos (Eurographics Association, 1990)
      In this paper we solve the problem of reconstructing a color image from sparse, noisy, and nonuniformly distributed color measurements. We apply a method for reconstructing a surface from sparse depth measurements to each ...

    • COLOR SHADING IN 2D SYNTHESIS 

      Bourdin, J.J.; Braquelaire, J.P. (Eurographics Association, 1990)
      In interactive 2D synthesis applications, features for filling regions are generally elementary (uniform colouring, filling with a regular pattern.. .). Interactive design of 2D colour shadings raises two major problems: ...

    • Colour Illustrations

    • A Constraint-Based Figure-Maker 

      Kalra, Devendra; Barr, Alan H. (Eurographics Association, 1990)
      In this paper, we describe a new kind of constraint-based figure-maker for parametrically defined curves. Figures are made by defining objects and imposing constraints on their geometric behavior. We present a formulation ...

    • Cross Scanline Algorithm 

      Tanaka, Toshimitsu; Talcahashi, Tokiichiro (Eurographics Association, 1990)
      This paper proposes a new hidden surface removal algorithm which is based on the scanline algorithm but scans in two directions, horizontally and vertically. Named the cross scanline algorithm, it can efficiently detect ...

    • DaScript Plus A PostScript Extension supporting 3D Graphics with 2D Functionality 

      Samara, Veronika; Schaub, Jutta; Noll, Stefan (Eurographics Association, 1990)
      In the world of electronic publishing page description languages describe a very powerful interface between document creation software and raster output devices. 3D graphics systems offer the possibility to give a more or ...

    • EDEN - AN EDITOR ENVIRONMENT FOR OBJECT- ORIENTED GRAPHICS EDITING 

      Fellner, Dieter W.; Kappe, F. (Eurographics Association, 1990)
      Systems allowing the creation and manipulation of graphical information (so-called Graphic Editors) have become essential in various fields of applications. At the same time the typical user of such a system has changed. ...

    • END USER PROGRAMMING ENVIRONMENTS : INTERACTIVE PROGRAMMING-ON-EXAMPLE IN CAD PARAMETRIC DESIGN 

      Girard, P.; Pierra, G.; Guittet, L. (Eurographics Association, 1990)
      In recent years, the number of computer end-users who do not know programming has increased rapidly. This new phenomenon has spurred a great deal of research about program design using very different approaches from the ...

    • Factoring a Homogeneous Transformation for a more Efficient Graphics Pipeline 

      Abi-Ezzi, Salim S.; Wozny, Michael J. (Eurographics Association, 1990)
      We identify an intermediate coordinate system situated between world coordinates and display coordinates, which exhibits unique features for lighting calculations and for clipping in homogeneous coordinates. Our key ...

    • Fast Rendering of Arbitrary Distributed Volume Densities 

      Sakas, Georgios (Eurographics Association, 1990)
      In recent years a number of techniques have been developed for rendering volume effects (haze, fog, smoke, clouds, etc.). These techniques are either time consuming (ray-tracing, radiosity) or do not account for arbitrary ...

    • Hemi-Cube Ray-Tracing: A Method for Generating Soft Shadows 

      Meyer, Urs (Eurographics Association, 1990)
      This paper presents a new ray-tracing technique for generating soft shadows. The technique treats scenes consisting of light sources and opaque objects which are polygons or polyhedra of arbitrary shape and size. To determine ...

    • HYPERIMAGES - AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE CONVENTIONAL DIGITAL IMAGES 

      Bieri, Hanspeter (Eurographics Association, 1990)
      Hyperimages represent a variation of the conventional digital images which implies pixels of different dimensions within the same image. The extent of a hyperimage is the disjoint union of all pixel extents it contains, ...

    • AN INTERACTIVE DEBUGGER FOR PHIGS 

      Howard, T.L.J.; Hewitt, W.T.; Larkin, S. (Eurographics Association, 1990)
      The Programmer’s Hierarchical Interactive Graphics System (PHIGS) is an International Standard for integrating application modelling and interactive computer graphics. With PHIGS, application models are constructed from ...

    • INTERACTIVE RAY-TRACING FOR IMAGE PRODUCTION WITH INCREASING REALISM 

      Sousa, A. Augusto; Costa, Antonio M. C.; Ferreira, Fernando N. (Eurographics Association, 1990)
      The generation of highly realistic images using the conventional Ray-Tracing algorithm, in CAD environments, is totally out of the question if we consider the interactive requirements of most CAD systems. In this paper, ...

    • INTERPOLATING CURVE NETWORKS WITH NEW BLENDING PATCHES 

      Saitoh, Tsuyoshi; Hosaka, Mamoru (Eurographics Association, 1990)
