We introduce a physically plausible mathematical model for a large class of BRDFs. The new model is as simple as the well-known Phong model, but eliminates its disadvantages. It gives a good visual approximation for many ...

This paper proposes to study a spline model, called HB-splines, that is in fact a B-spline representation of Hermite splines, combined with some restriction on the differential values at segment boundaries. Although this ...

This paper presents a method for constructing composite surfaces based on a collection of quadrilateral patches. A global parameterization using bilinear quadrilateral meshes and FEM like minimization procedure are introduced. ...

In this paper we propose a SPMD parallel hierarchical radiosity algorithm relying on a novel partitioning method which may apply to any kind of architectural scene. This algorithm is based on MPI (Message Passing Interface), ...

By employment of a footprint table in conducting intensity integration, splatting method has been very successful in rendering regular data volumes. Recently, the method has also been extended to render irregular data ...
