    • Goniometric Diagram Mapping for Hemisphere 

      Havran, Vlastimil; Dmitriev, Kirill; Seidel, Hans-Peter (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      Describing the light intensity over the hemisphere using a goniometric diagram is a common practice in the lighting industry and is prescribed for instance by IESNA (Illuminating Engineering Society of North America) ...

    • High quality images from 2.5D video 

      Berretty, Robert-Paul; Ernst, Fabian (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      Given a 2D video stream with an accompanying depth channel, we render high quality images from viewpoints close to the original one. This is for instance required to generate a 3D impression on stereoscopic or multiview ...

    • Implicit Surface Reconstruction and uniform Sampling by Striped Marching Triangles 

      Leborán, Víctor; Pardo, Xose M. (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      The synthesis of computer models from real objects is a usual procedure in medical image processing and reverse engineering. In both cases, the main issues are to reach a topologically consistent and geometrically precise ...

      Szirmay-Kalos, Laszlo; Szecsi, Laszl (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      This paper offers a novel approach to the indirect photon mapping method. The placement of photons acting as virtual light sources is regarded as a cheap sampling scheme, allowing for the reuse of a complete shooting path ...

    • Inelastic Scattering and Participating Media.Application to the ocean 

      Cerezo, Eva; Seron, Francisco J. (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      A system, developed to treat general participating media, is generalized to make it capable of considering volumetric inelastic processes such as fluorescence. The system is based on the discrete ordinates method, and can ...

    • Information Visualization using Transparent Shape Impostors 

      Seipel, Stefan (Eurographics Association, 2003)
      Transparency is a graphical effect used in visualizations to present co-located graphical glyphs. Accomplishing a visually convincing transparency effect requires complex calculations of light absorption and refraction in ...
