Advanced Application of Volume Visualization Methods in Medicine
(Eurographics Association, 1998)Tomographic medical imaging techniques have become more popular in recent years. The wide availability of CT, MRI and Ultrasound in most large hospitals results in a rapidly increasing number of examinations with these ... -
Agents in multi-user virtual environments
(Eurographics Association, 1998)In this paper,we introduce the use of agents in combinationwith virtual realities as one possibility to enhancefuture communication systems.These agents support the user and his/her interactionwith objects within the virtual ... -
Behavior Authoring for VRML Applications in Industry
(Eurographics Association, 1998)As VRML offers behavior definition on different levels (animation behavior, interaction behavior, hypermedia behavior, application behavior) an authoring tool for VRML content creation has to comprise a dedicated behavior ... -
Comparison between two Three-Dimensional Edge Operators applied in a 3D Navigation Approach
(Eurographics Association, 1998)This paper will compare two 3D surface detection and normal estimation operators applied on a rough voxel database. These approaches can be applied as virtual endoscopy for the exploriation of 3D medical image volumes. The ... -
Distributed Cooperative Visualization
(Eurographics Association, 1998)Visualization is essentially a collaborative activity, widely used in many scientific and engineering disciplines. Visualization may be used to convey insight into phenomena that are well-understood, or to present new data ... -
Face-to-Face Communication System in Cyberspace by Voice Driven Avatar
(Eurographics Association, 1998)Recently computer can make cyberspace to walk through by an interactive virtual reality technique. An avatar in cyberspace can bring us a virtual face-to-face communication environment. In this paper, we realize an avatar ... -
The Hidden Face Determination Tree
(Eurographics Association, 1998)Hidden surface removal can be achieved using the Priority Face Determination (PFD) tree to create a priority ordering of n polygons in log4=3 n time. In this paper, we describe the Hidden Face Determi- nation (HFD) tree ... -
Immersive High Quality Communication
(Eurographics Association, 1998)This shows our vision of advanced high quality tele-communication which can be achieved by combining large-scale displays, real-time audio/video transmission, virtual reality and global, high bandwidth computer networks. -
Interpolation and Approximation of Surfaces from Three-Dimensional Scattered Data Points
(Eurographics Association, 1998)There is a wide range of applications for which surface interpolation or approximation from scattered data points in space is important. Dependent on the field of application and the related properties of the data, many ... -
Introduction to Programming with Java 3D
(Eurographics Association, 1998)Java 3D is a new cross-platform API for developing 3D graphics applications in Java. Java 3D’s feature set has been designed to enable quick development of complex 3D applications, and at the same time enable fast and ... -
Introduction to VRML 97
(Eurographics Association, 1998)VRML (the Virtual Reality Modeling Language) is an international standard for describing 3-D shapes and scenery on the World Wide Web. VRML’s technology has very broad applicability, including web-based entertainment, ... -
Modelling Cloth Buckling and Drape
(Eurographics Association, 1998)We present a new computational model for plain woven fabrics. The model is able to represent known elastic behaviour in deformation, such as planar extension and shearing and out-of-plane bending, drape and buckling. The ... -
Motion Reparametrization
(Eurographics Association, 1998)This paper presents an algorithm for reparametrization of 1D signals in the discrete domain, according to a userdefined velocity function. The application outlined in this work is the reparametrization of joint curves ... -
Multidimensional free-form deformation tools
(Eurographics Association, 1998)A survey of free-form deformation tools where the deformation is controlled by manipulating a 0-D to 3-D tool. Characteristics of a model that includes all these and generalises the concept will be presented. -
Navigation through Virtual 3D Worlds for Facilitating Childrens Spatial Orientation
(Eurographics Association, 1998)Spatial orientation is an important ability which should be encouraged in geometry courses of elementary schools. A preferred approach (in Germany) typically involves navigation and wayfinding tasks with pictures of a town ... -
Overview of Parallel Photo-realistic Graphics
(Eurographics Association, 1998)Global illumination is an area of research which tries to develop algorithms and methods to render images of artificial models or worlds as realistically as possible. Such algorithms are known for their unpredictable data ...
