    • A Survey of Ocean Simulation and Rendering Techniques in Computer Graphics 

      Darles, E.; Crespin, B.; Ghazanfarpour, D.; Gonzato, J.C. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)
      This paper presents a survey of ocean simulation and rendering methods in computer graphics. To model and animate the ocean’s surface, these methods mainly rely on two main approaches: on the one hand, those which approximate ...

    • A Survey of Real-Time Hard Shadow Mapping Methods 

      Scherzer, Daniel; Wimmer, Michael; Purgathofer, Werner (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)
      Because of its versatility, speed and robustness, shadow mapping has always been a popular algorithm for fast hard shadow generation since its introduction in 1978, first for offline film productions and later increasingly ...

    • Taylor Prediction for Mesh Geometry Compression 

      Courbet, Clément; Hudelot, Céline (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)
      In this paper, we introduce a new formalism for mesh geometry prediction. We derive a class of smooth linear predictors from a simple approach based on the Taylor expansion of the mesh geometry function. We use this method ...

    • Using VisTrails and Provenance for Teaching Scientific Visualization 

      Silva, Cláudio T.; Anderson, Erik; Santos, Emanuele; Freire, Juliana (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)
      Over the last 20 years, visualization courses have been developed and offered at universities around the world. Many of these courses use established visualization libraries and tools (e.g. VTK, ParaView, AVS, VisIt) as a ...
