Detail Highlighting using a Shadow Edge Histogram
Abstract
In this paper we propose a simple and effective technique for setting up a configuration of directional light sources to accentuate the prominent geometric features of complex objects by increasing the local shadow contrast near them. Practical applications of such a task are encountered among others in professional photography, and cinematography. The method itself, which is based on a voting mechanism, quickly produces consistent and view-independent results, with minimal user intervention.

Time-constrained Animation Rendering on Desktop Grids
Aggarwal, Vibhor; Debattista, Kurt; Bashford-Rogers, Thomas; Chalmers, Alan (The Eurographics Association, 2012)The computationally intensive nature of high-fidelity rendering has led to a dependence on parallel infrastructures for generating animations. However, such an infrastructure is expensive thereby restricting easy access ... -
