Efficient Geometry Compression for GPU-based Decoding in Realtime Terrain Rendering
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)We present a geometry compression scheme for restricted quadtree meshes and use this scheme for the compression of adaptively triangulated digital elevation models (DEMs). A compression factor of 8-9 is achieved by employing ... -
Exposure Fusion: A Simple and Practical Alternative to High Dynamic Range Photography
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)We propose a technique for fusing a bracketed exposure sequence into a high quality image, without converting to High dynamic range (HDR) first. Skipping the physically based HDR assembly step simplifies the acquisition ... -
Fast Ray Tracing of Arbitrary Implicit Surfaces with Interval and Affine Arithmetic
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)Existing techniques for rendering arbitrary-form implicit surfaces are limited, either in performance, correctness or flexibility. Ray tracing algorithms employing interval arithmetic (IA) or affine arithmetic (AA) for ... -
Out-of-Core and Dynamic Programming for Data Distribution on a Volume Visualization Cluster
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)Ray directed volume-rendering algorithms are well suited for parallel implementation in a distributed cluster environment. For distributed ray casting, the scene must be partitioned between nodes for good load balancing, ... -
Partial 3D Shape Retrieval by Reeb Pattern Unfolding
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009) -
A Psychophysical Evaluation of Inverse Tone Mapping Techniques
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)In recent years inverse tone mapping techniques have been proposed for enhancing low-dynamic range (LDR) content for a high-dynamic range (HDR) experience on HDR displays, and for image based lighting. In this paper, we ... -
Resolution Independent NPR-Style 3D Line Textures
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)This work introduces a technique for interactive walk-throughs of non-photorealistically rendered (NPR) scenes using three-dimensional (3D) line primitives to define architectural features of the model, as well as indicate ... -
Shape Context Preserving Deformation of 2D Anatomical Illustrations
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)In this paper, we present a novel two-dimensional (2D) shape context preserving image manipulation approach which constructs and manipulates a 2D mesh with a new differential mesh editing algorithm. We introduce a novel ... -
Tangential Distance Fields for Mesh Silhouette Problems
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)We consider a tangent-space representation of surfaces that maps each point on a surface to the tangent plane of the surface at that point. Such representations are known to facilitate the solution of several visibility ... -
Visual-Quality Optimizing Super Resolution
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)In this paper, we propose a robust image super-resolution (SR) algorithm that aims to maximize the overall visual quality of SR results. We consider a good SR algorithm to be fidelity preserving, image detail enhancing and ...
