| dc.description.abstract | 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 three processors: a 9-D Geometry Processorwhich scan-converts geometric objects into their voxel representation, a 9-D Frame-BufferProcessor which manipulates the voxel-based images and controls interaction, and a 9-DViewing Processor which projects the images on a 2-D monitor. Two other supportingprocessors, the 2-D Frame-Buffer Processor which manipulates the 2-D images and theColor Transform Processor which handles color transformations, are also introduced. | en_US |
