Efficient Bounding of Displaced Bézier Patches
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)
In this paper, we present a new approach to conservative bounding of displaced Bézier patches. These surfaces are expected to be a common use case for tessellation in interactive and real-time rendering. Our algorithm ...
High Quality Normal Map Compression
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)
Normal mapping is a widely used technique in real-time graphics, but so far little research has focused on compressing normal maps. Therefore, we present several simple techniques that improve the quality of ATI s 3Dc ...
Tight Frame Normal Map Compression
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)
We present a new powerful and flexible fixed-rate normal map compression algorithm with higher quality than existing schemes on a test suite of normal maps. Our algorithm encodes a tight box with uniform normals inside the ...
Design and Novel Uses of Higher-Dimensional Rasterization
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)
This paper assumes the availability of a very fast higher-dimensional rasterizer in future graphics processors. Working in up to five dimensions, i.e., adding time and lens parameters, it is well-known that this can be ...
Non-Uniform Fractional Tessellation
(The Eurographics Association, 2008)
We present a technique that modifies the tessellator in current graphics hardware so that the result is a more uniformly distributed tessellation in screen space. For increased flexibility, vertex tessellation weights are ...
Stochastic Rasterization using Time-Continuous Triangles
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)
We present a novel algorithm for stochastic rasterization which can rasterize triangles with attributes depending on a parameter, t, varying continuously from t
Coarse Pixel Shading
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)
We present a novel architecture for flexible control of shading rates in a GPU pipeline, and demonstrate substantially reduced shading costs for various applications. We decouple shading and visibility by restricting and ...
Local Shading Coherence Extraction for SIMD-Efficient Path Tracing on CPUs
(The Eurographics Association, 2016)
Accelerating ray traversal on data-parallel hardware architectures has received widespread attention over the last few years, but much less research has focused on efficient shading for ray tracing. This is unfortunate ...
Theory and Analysis of Higher-Order Motion Blur Rasterization
(ACM, 2013)
A common assumption in motion blur rendering is that the triangle vertices move in straight lines. In this paper, we focus on scenarios where this assumption is no longer valid, such as motion due to fast rotation and other ...
Hierarchical Stochastic Motion Blur Rasterization
(ACM, 2011)
We present a hierarchical traversal algorithm for stochastic rasterization of motion blur, which efficiently reduces the number of inside tests needed to resolve spatio-temporal visibility. Our method is based on novel ...
