McMillan and Bishop s 3D image warp can be efficiently implemented by exploiting the coherency of its memory accesses. We analyze this coherency, and present algorithms that take advantage of it. These algorithms traverse ...

Advanced diffusion imaging enables the reconstruction of complex fiber configurations such as crossings or fannings. However, resulting visualizations often suffer from visual clutter which makes exploration challenging. ...

We present a new triangle scan conversion algorithm that works entirely in homogeneous coordinates. By using homogeneous coordinates, the algorithm avoids costly clipping tests which make pipelining or hardware implementations ...

We present two methods which connect today s polygon graphics hardware accelerators to Cube-5 volume rendering hardware, the successor to Cube4 The proposed methods allow mixing of both opaque and translucent polygons with ...

The only surface primitives that are supported by common graphics hardware are triangles and more complex shapes have to be triangulated before being sent to the rasterizer. Even quadrilaterals, which are frequently used ...

Panoramic capture devices in Cultural Heritage are becoming widely available to consumer market, also due to comfortable interactive online dissemination and to the growth of VR segment. VR fruition through an HMD although, ...

While the modeling of sub-surface translucency using homogeneous BSSRDFs is an established industry standard, applying the same approach to heterogeneous materials is predominantly heuristical. We propose a more principled ...

While working on a method for supporting real-time procedural solid texturing, we developed a general purpose multipass pixel shader to generate the Perlin noise function. We implemented this algorithm on SGI workstations ...

A novel image-based rendering system is proposed for documenting cultural heritage artifacts. The system utilizes backscattering photography to acquire the initial pictures and derives estimates for the object's diffuse ...

Particle-based simulation techniques, like the discrete element method or molecular dynamics, are widely used in many research fields. In real-time explorative visualization it is common to render the resulting data using ...
