The MADE Help System
(Blackwell Science Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1995)
MADE is the acronym for the ESPRIT project 6307, whose aim is to develop an object oriented multimedia application development environment. As part of this project the MADE help system is designed to be a distributed ...
Distributed Augmented Reality for Collaborative Design Applications
(Blackwell Science Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1995)
This paper presents a system for constructing collaborative design applications based on distributed augmented reality. Augmented reality interfaces are a natural method for presenting computer-based design by merging ...
Rendering of Surface and Volume Details in Volume Data*
(Blackwell Science Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1995)
Aiming at the detail rendering in volume data, a new volume illumination model, called Composed Scattering Model (CSM), is presented. In order to enhance different details in volume data, scattering intensity is decomposed ...
Using Procedural RenderMan Shaders for Global Illurnination
(Blackwell Science Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1995)
Global illumination techniques like radiosity or Monte-Carlo ray-tracing are becoming standard features of rendering systems. However, there is currently no accepted interface format which supports an appropriate ...
Three Architectures for Volume Rendering
(Blackwell Science Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1995)
Volume rendering is a key technique in scientific visualization that lends itself to significant exploitable parallelism. The high computational demands of real-time volume rendering and continued technological advances ...
Algorithms for Extracting Correct Critical Points and Constructing Topological Graphs from Discrete Geographical Elevation Data
(Blackwell Science Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1995)
Researchers in the fields of computer graphics and geographical information systems (GISs) have extensively studied the methods of extracting terrain features such as peaks, pits, passes, ridges, and ravines from discrete ...
An Incremental Alignment Algorithm for Parallel Volume Rendering
(Blackwell Science Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1995)
This paper introduces a data distribution scheme and an alignment algorithm for parallel volume rendering. The algorithm performs a single wrap-around shear transformation which requires only a regular inter-processor ...
An Adaptive Spatial Subdivision of the Object Space for Fast Collision Detection of Animated Rigid Bodies
(Blackwell Science Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1995)
Collision detection tests between objects dominate run time simulation of rigid body animation. Traditionally, hierarchical bounding box tests are used to minimize collision detection time. But the bounding boxes do not ...
Synthetic Vision and Audition for Digital Actors
(Blackwell Science Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1995)
We present an overview of some principles of synthetic vision and audition for digital autonomous actors in virtual worlds. After a short review of the state-of-the-art we focus on some aspects of synthetic vision and ...
Morphological Operations for Color-Coded Images
(Blackwell Science Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1995)
The subject of this paper is the semantically based postprocessing of color-coded images such as classification results. We outline why the classical definition of mathematical morphology suffers if it is used for processing ...
