    • Memory Access Patterns of Occlusion-Compatible 3D Image Warping 

      Murk, William R.; Bishop, Gary (The Eurographics Association, 1997)
      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 ...

    • PixelFlow: The Realization 

      Eyles, John; Molnar, Steven; Poulton, John; Greer, Trey; Lastra, Anselmo; England, Nick; Westover, Lee (The Eurographics Association, 1997)
      PixelFlow is an architecture for high-speed, highly realistic image generation, based on the techniques of object-parallelism and image composition. Its initial architecture was described in [MOLN92]. After development by ...

    • A Ray-Slice-Sweep Volume Rendering Engine 

      Bitter, Ingmar; Kaufman, Arie (The Eurographics Association, 1997)
      Ray-slice-sweeping is a plane sweep algorithm for volume rendering, The compositing buffer sweeps through the volume and combines the accumulated image with the new slice of just-projected voxels. The image combination is ...

    • Realizing OpenGL: Two Implementations of One Architecture 

      Kilgard, Mark J. (The Eurographics Association, 1997)
      The OpenGL Graphics System provides a well-specified, widely accepted dataflow for 3D graphics and imaging. OpenGL is an architecture; an OpenGL-capable computer is a hardware manifestation or implementaion of that ...

    • Towards Real-Time Photorealistic Rendering: Challenges and Solutions 

      Schilling, Andreas (The Eurographics Association, 1997)
      A growing number of real-time applications need graphics with photorealistic quality, especially in the field of training (virtual operation, driving and flightsimulation), but also in the areas of design or ergonomic ...

    • Triangle Scan Conversion using 2D Homogeneous Coordinates 

      Olano, Marc; Greer, Trey (The Eurographics Association, 1997)
      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 ...

    • VIZARD - Visualization Accelerator for Realtime Display 

      Knittel, Günter; Straßer, Wolfgang (The Eurographics Association, 1997)
      Volume rendering has traditionally been an application for supercomputers, workstation networks or expensive special-purpose hardware. In contrast, this report shows how far we have reached using the other extreme: the ...
