A Shape Grammar for Developing Glyph-based Visualizations
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)
In this paper we address the question of how to quickly model glyph-based Geographic Information System visualizations. Our solution is based on using shape grammars to set up the different aspects of a visualization, ...
GPU Rendering of Relief Mapped Conical Frusta
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)
This paper proposes to use relief-mapped conical frusta (cones cut by planes) to skin skeletal objects. Based on this representation, current programmable graphics hardware can perform the rendering with only minimal ...
A Comparison of Tabular PDF Inversion Methods
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)
The most common form of tabular inversion used in computer graphics is to compute the cumulative distribution table of a probability distribution (PDF) and then search within it to transform points, using an O(logA n) ...
Dart Throwing on Surfaces
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)
In this paper we present dart throwing algorithms to generate maximal Poisson disk point sets directly on 3D surfaces. We optimize dart throwing by efficiently excluding areas of the domain that are already covered by ...
