Tutorial 6 - Rendering and Visualization in Parallel Environments
(Eurographics Association, 1999)The continuing commoditization of the computer market has precipitated a qualitative change. Increasingly powerful processors, large memories, big harddisk, high-speed networks, and fast 3D rendering hardware are now ... -
Tutorial 5 - Integrated Environments for Cultural HeritageKnowledgeIntegrated Environments for Cultural HeritageKnowledge
(Eurographics Association, 1999)Restoration and conservation actions on buildings of historic importance are generally performed relying on wide and heterogeneous information de- scribing their degradation status. The high quality of this information is ... -
Tutorial 1 -Advanced Radiosity:Complex Scenes and Glossy Reflections
(Eurographics Association, 1999)A lot of research towards global illumination has been focussed on the radiosity method. Nevertheless, it is still a rather academic topic which finds very slowly its way into commercial products. The scope of this tutorial ... -
Multiresolution Modeling: Survey and Future Opportunities
(Eurographics Association, 1999)For twenty years, it has been clear that many datasets are excessively complex for applications such as real-time display, and that techniques for controlling the level of detail of models are crucial.More recently, there ... -
Radiosity for Large Vegetation Scenes
(Eurographics Association, 1999)Calculating radiosity solutions for large scenes containing multiple plants is all but impossible using the radiosity method in its original form. With the introduction of sophisticated hierarchical and clustering algorithms ... -
3D Geometry Compressionand Progressive Transmission
(Eurographics Association, 1999)Polygonal meshes remain the primary representation for visualization of 3D data in a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, architecture, geographic information systems, medical imaging, robotics, entertainment, ... -
Graph Visualisation and Navigation in Information Visualisation
(Eurographics Association, 1999)This is a survey on graph visualisation and navigation techniques, as used in information visualisation. Graphs appear in numerous applications, like web browsing, state–transition diagrams, computer data structures, etc. ... -
Graphics, Vision, and Visualization in Medical Imaging: A State of the Art Report
(Eurographics Association, 1999)The field of medical imaging has significantly changed over the years, becoming both an integral part of health care and an increasingly important area of research spanning many disciplines. As the title of this paper ... -
Modelling and Haptic Interaction with non-rigid materials
(Eurographics Association, 1999)This report presents an overview of main modelling and simulation techniques for non–rigid objects discussing advantages and disadvantages. Related techniques to face several problems rising when dealing with deformable ... -
Edinburgh: 200 years of heritage through image-based virtual environments
(Eurographics Association, 1999)Heritage is an important application of virtual environments. The key role of virtual environments in this sector is to provide a spatial context for historical records, artifacts and places. This spatial context makes the ... -
Design or art? Art or design?
(Eurographics Association, 1999)Exploring the similarities and the differences between artists and designers New technology has led to similarities in the work created by fine artists and designers who use computers. In the UK, design is still looked ... -
Adaptive Refinements in Subdivision Surfaces?
(Eurographics Association, 1999)One problem in subdivision surfaces is the number of meshes grows quickly after every subdivision step. The number of meshes of the subdivision surface is usually huge and the scheme is difficult to manipulate. In this ... -
Contour Extraction of Watermarks in Old Manuscripts
(Eurographics Association, 1999)The comparison of watermarks in old paper is the major technique for dating undated medieval manuscripts. The extraction of watermarks as contours is the crucial task in digitalization and building a watermark database. ... -
Visual Learning with Computer Art Graphics Artwork Description
(Eurographics Association, 1999)In my work, I use the computer on different levels. For my two-dimensional works, I have been programing in Fortran IV then Fortran 77 using Cyber, then VAX mainframes and Interactive Graphic Library (IGL). I have been ... -
Digital Painting: facing the problem
(Eurographics Association, 1999)This will be an illustrated presentation. It will show how digital techniques give the painter both new opportunities and a fresh set of problems. Is this part of the New Media story, or just painting turning a corner? -
Animating Brachiation
(Eurographics Association, 1999)This paper presents a physically-based animation system for generating realistic motion of primate brachiation. One of the main aims of this system is to facilitate the process of generating brachiation sequences with ... -
Interfacing Cultural Heritage
(Eurographics Association, 1999)In this paper we describe briefly intuitive physical interface called “Virtual Balance”, present recent modifications and give the most impressive example of its use for navigation in and exploration of reconstructed models ... -
On the Opera Theatre Simulation
(Eurographics Association, 1999)In this paper we develop some considerations on multimedia applications, starting from the experience gained by implementing a multimedia representation of an opera theatre: namely the Teatro alla Scala di Milano. After a ...
