    • A New Approach for Direct Manipulation of Free-Form Curve 

      Zheng, J.M.; Chan, K.W.; Gibson, I. (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1998)
      There is an increasing demand for more intuitive methods for creating and modifying free-form curves and surfaces in CAD modeling systems. The methods should be based not only on the change of the mathematical parameters, ...

    • Ninth Eurographics Workshop on Visualization in Scientific Computing, Blaubeuren, Germany, April 20-22 1998 

      Duce, D. A. (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1998)

    • Optical Flow Rendering 

      Park, Tae-Joon; Shin, Sung Yong; Lee, Seungyong (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1998)
      This paper proposes a new approach to image-based rendering that generates an image viewed from an arbitrary camera position and orientation by rendering optical flows extracted from reference images. To derive valid optical ...

    • Perception Based Color Image Difference 

      Neumann, Laszlo; Matkovic, Kresimir; Purgathofer, Werner (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1998)
      A good image metric is often needed in digital image synthesis. It can be used to check the convergence behavior in progressive methods, to compare images rendered using various rendering methods etc. Since images are ...

    • Preface 

      Ferreira, F.; Goebel, Martin (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1998)

    • The Priority Face Determination Tree for Hidden Surface Removal 

      James, A.; Day, A. M. (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1998)
      Many virtual environments are built from a set of polygons that form the basis of objects in the scene. Using priority-list algorithms, the sequence in which these polygons are drawn is dependent upon the location of an ...

    • Programming Paradigms in an Object-Oriented Multimedia Standard 

      Duke, D. J.; Herman, I. (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1998)
      Of the various programming paradigms in use today, object-orientation is probably the most successful in terms of industrial take-up and application, particularly in the field of multimedia. It is therefore unsurprising ...

    • Progressive Iso-Surface Extraction from Hierarchical 3D Meshes 

      Grosso, Roberto; Ertl, Thomas (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1998)
      A multiresolution data decomposition offers a fundamental framework supporting compression, progressive transmission, and level-of-detail (LOD) control for large two or three dimensional data sets discretized on complex ...

    • Rapid and Accurate Contact Determination between Spline Models using ShellTrees 

      Krishnan, S.; Gopi, M.; Lin, M.; Manocha, D.; Pattekar, A. (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1998)
      In this paper, we present an efficient algorithm for contact determination between spline models. We make use of a new hierarchy, called ShellTree, that comprises of spherical shells and oriented bounding boxes. Each ...

    • Real-time Biomechanically-based Muscle Volume Deformation using FEM 

      Zhu, Qing-hong; Chen, Yan; Kaufman, Arie (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1998)
      This paper presents a voxel-based biomechanical model for muscle deformation using finite element method (FEM) and volume graphics. Hierarchical voxel meshes are reconstructed from filtered segmented muscle images followed ...

    • Reference Models for Distributed Cooperative Visualization 

      Duce, D. A.; Giorgetti, D.; Cooper, C. S.; Gallop, J. R.; Johnson, I. J.; Robinson, K.; Seelig, C. D. (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1998)
      In this paper reference models for visualization systems that have appeared in the literature are surveyed and a new reference model for distributed cooperative visualization developed in the MANICORAL project (funded by ...

    • Screen-Space Constraints for Camera Movements: the Virtual Cameraman 

      Jardillier, Frank; Languenou, Eric (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1998)
      This article presents a virtual cameraman which allows us to obtain the whole set of camera movements satisfying user defined constraints specified in the image space and/or constraints on the objects of the scene. This ...

    • Siggraph/Eurographics Workshop on Graphics Hardware 

      Schneider, Bengt-Olaf (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1998)

    • Simulating Wood Using a Voxel Approach 

      Buchanan, John W. (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1998)
      In this paper we present a technique for generating three-dimensional wood textures using a regular texture array. Currently three-dimensional wood textures are generated using procedural textures. Procedural textures are ...

    • Sixth Eurographics Workshop on Programming Paradigms in Graphics (WPPG97) 

      Arbab, Farhad; Slusallek, Philipp (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1998)

    • Space Discretization for Efficient Human Navigation 

      Bandi, Srikanth; Thalmann, Daniel (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1998)
      There is a large body of research on motion control of legs in human models. However, they require specification of global paths in which to move. A method for automatically computing a global motion path for a human in ...

    • Subdivision Schemes for Thin Plate Splines 

      Weimer, Henrik; Warren, Joe (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1998)
      Thin plate splines are a well known entity of geometric design. They are defined as the minimizer of a variational problem whose differential operators approximate a simple notion of bending energy. Therefore, thin plate ...
