"IntroductionThe area of computational geometry deals with the study of algorithms for problems concerning geometric objects like e.g. lines, polygons, circles, etc. in the plane and in higher dimensional space. Since its ...

The tools available for ASIC design now offer the features and functionality necessary to permit ideas to be realised in silicon In a relatively short period of lime, This paper introduces work undertaken at Sussex University ...

We describe some of our experiences with the implementation of a 3D reconstruction system for the visualization of the shapes and structural development of biological objects. We use a binary voxel model as volumetric ...

The voxblt Engine (vE) is a 3D frame-buffer processor which manipulates and processes ''3~ bitmaps"" (voxel maps) stored in a cubic frame buffer of voxels. The vE is the 3D counterpart of the 20 frame buffer processor, ...

Described is a display sub-system, designed for support of a very high speed rendering engine. It provides high-performance graphics to an enVironment that consists of a hierarchy of resizable windows. The concept of virtual ...

The Intel 180860 is a very powerful RISe processor, designed for applications that require a large amount of floating point and integer calculations. Additionally it supports graphics applications with a Graphics hardware ...

The computer-aided design of mechanical parts is supported by sophisticated geometric modelers and visualized by high-performance raster graphics systems allowing for a realistic display. The geometric modeler accepts the ...

A voxel-map based architecture which lays the foundations for a 3-D graphics workstation,called the CUBE Workstation, is presented. The architecture is centered around a largecubic frame-buffer of voxels, operated on by ...

An algorithm is presented for rapid traversal of octree data structures, in order to enhance the speed of ray tracing for scenes of high complexity. At each level of the octree, the algorithm generates the addresses of ...

The aim of this paper is to provide some refiexions and partial results about cellular architectures for image synthesis and graphics. As some steps of image synthesis involve a long processing time, quite incompatible ...
