State of the Art in Ray Tracing Animated Scenes
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)Ray tracing has long been a method of choice for off-line rendering, but traditionally was too slow for interactive use. With faster hardware and algorithmic improvements this has recently changed, and real-time ray tracing ... -
A Time Model for Time-Varying Visualization
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)The analysis of unsteady phenomena is an important topic for scientific visualization. Several time-dependent visualization techniques exist, as well as solutions for dealing with the enormous size of time-varying data in ... -
Visualization of Multi-Variate Scientific Data
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)In this state-of-the-art report we discuss relevant research works related to the visualization of complex, multi-variate data. We discuss how different techniques take effect at specific stages of the visualization pipeline ...
