    Modeling Color Properties of Tiled Displays
    (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2005) Majumder, Aditi; Gopi, M.
    The concept of tiled displays can be successful only if such displays are made to look like a single display perceptually. The two issues that need to be solved to achieve this goal are geometric correction and color seamlessness of images spanning across tiles. Geometric correction algorithms borrow pin-hole camera models to model projector display geometry. In this paper, we introduce an abstract modeling function that describes the color seen by a viewer when displayed by a display device.Though this function can be used to model color displayed by any common display device, in this paper, we use it to model color in multiprojector display systems. We use the model to explain the reasons for different types of color variations in a multiprojector display, to compare different color correction algorithms, and to derive such algorithms directly from the model.

    Visual Supercomputing: Technologies, Applications and Challenges
    (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2005) Brodlie, Ken; Brooke, John; Chen, Min; Chisnall, David; Fewings, Ade; Hughes, Chris; John, Nigel W.; Jones, Mark W.; Riding, Mark; Roard, Nicolas
    If we were to have a Grid infrastructure for visualization, what technologies would be needed to build such an infrastructure, what kind of applications would benefit from it, and what challenges are we facing in order to accomplish this goal? In this survey paper, we make use of the term visual supercomputing to encapsulate a subject domain concerning the infrastructural technology for visualization. We consider a broad range of scientific and technological advances in computer graphics and visualization, which are relevant to visual supercomputing. We identify the state-of-the-art technologies that have prepared us for building such an infrastructure. We examine a collection of applications that would benefit enormously from such an infrastructure, and discuss their technical requirements. We propose a set of challenges that may guide our strategic efforts in the coming years.

    Dual Marching Cubes: Primal Contouring of Dual Grids
    (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2005) Schaefer, Scott; Warren, Joe
    We present a method for contouring an implicit function using a grid topologically dual to structured grids such as octrees. By aligning the vertices of the dual grid with the features of the implicit function, we are able to reproduce thin features of the extracted surface without excessive subdivision required by methods such as Marching Cubes or Dual Contouring. Dual Marching Cubes produces a crack-free, adaptive polygonalization of the surface that reproduces sharp features. Our approach maintains the advantage of using structured grids for operations such as CSG while being able to conform to the relevant features of the implicit function yielding much sparser polygonalizations than has been possible using structured grids.

    Kinematics, Dynamics, Biomechanics: Evolution of Autonomy in Game Animation
    (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2005) Collins, Steve
    The believeable portrayal of character performances is critical in engaging the immersed player in interactive entertainment. The story, the emotion and the relationship between the player and the world they are interacting within are hugely dependent on how appropriately the world s characters look, move and behave. We re concerned here with the character s motion; with next generation game consoles like Xbox360TM and Playstation the graphical representation of characters will take a major step forward which places even more emphasis on the motion of the character. The behavior of the character is driven by story and design which are adapted to game context by the game s AI system. The motion of the characters populating the game s world, however, is evolving to an interesting blend of kinematics, dynamics, biomechanics and AI drivenmotion planning.Our goal here is to present the technologies involved in creating what are essentially character automata, emotionless and largely brainless character shells that nevertheless exhibit enough "behavior" to move as directed while adapting to the environment through sensing and actuating responses. This abstracts the complexities of low level motion control, dynamics, collision detection etc. and allows the game s artificial intelligence system to direct these characters at a higher level.While much research has already been conducted in this area and some great results have been published, we will present the particular issues that face game developers working on current and next generation consoles, and how these technologies may be integrated into game production pipelines so to facilitate the creation of character performances in games. The challenges posed by the limited memory and CPU bandwidth (though this is changing somewhat with next generation) and the challenges of integrating these solutions with current game design approaches leads to some interesting problems, some of which the industry has solutions for and some others which still remain largely unsolved.

    A New Interpolatory Subdivision for Quadrilateral Meshes
    (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2005) Li, G.; Ma, W.; Bao, H.
    This paper presents a new interpolatory subdivision scheme for quadrilateral meshes based on a 1-4 splitting operator. The scheme generates surfaces coincident with those of the Kobbelt interpolatory subdivision scheme for regular meshes. A new group of rules are designed for computing newly inserted vertices around extraordinary vertices. As an extension of the regular masks,the new rules are derived based on a reinterpretation of the regular masks. Eigen-structure analysis demonstrates that subdivision surfaces generated using the new scheme are C1 continuous and, in addition, have bounded curvature.
