    • Volume Visualization and Volume Rendering Techniques 

      Meißner, M.; Pfister, H.; Westermann, R.; Wittenbrink, C.M. (Eurographics Association, 2000)
      There is a wide range of devices and scientific simulation generating volumetric data. Visualizing such data, ranging from regular data sets to scattered data, is a challenging task. This course will give an introduction ...

    • Shadow Computation: A Unified Perspective 

      Ghali, S.; Fiume, E.; Seidel, H.-P. (Eurographics Association, 2000)
      Methods for solving shadow problems by solving instances of visibility problems have long been known and exploited. There are, however, other potent uses of such a reduction of shadow problems, several of which we explore ...

    • Geometric Signal Processing on Polygonal Meshes 

      Taubin, G. (Eurographics Association, 2000)
      Very large polygonal models, which are used in more and more graphics applications today, are routinely generated by a variety of methods such as surface reconstruction algorithms from 3D scanned data, isosurface construction ...

    • Interactive Display of Global Illumination Solutions for Non-Diffuse Environments 

      Heidrich, Wolfgang (Eurographics Association, 2000)
      In recent years there has been a lot of work on interactively displaying global illumination solutions for nondiffuse environments. This is an extremely active field of research, in which a lot of different approaches have ...

    • Visual Perception in Realistic Image Synthesis 

      McNamara, A.; Chalmers, A.; Trocianko, T. (Eurographics Association, 2000)
      Realism is often a primary goal in computer graphics imagery, we strive to create images that are perceptually indistinguishable from an actual scene. Rendering systems can now closely approximate the physical distribution ...

    • Recent Advances in Visualization of Volumetric Data 

      Brodlie, Ken; Wood, Jason (Eurographics Association, 2000)
      In the past few years, there have been key advances in the three main approaches to the visualization of volumetric data: isosurfacing, slicing and volume rendering, which together make up the field of volume visualization. ...

    • The 3D Model Acquisition Pipeline 

      Bernardini, Fausto; Rushmeier, Holly (Eurographics Association, 2000)
      Three-dimensional image acquisition systems are rapidly becoming more affordable, especially systems based on commodity electronic cameras. At the same time, personal computers with graphics hardware capable of displaying ...

    • ALOHA : Adaptive Level Of Detail for Human Animation Towards a new framework 

      Giang, Thanh; Mooney, Robert; Peters, Christopher; Sullivan, Carol O. (Eurographics Association, 2000)
      The task of animating and rendering virtual humans in real-time is challenging. One must first establish a sense of realism through appearance, and then maintain this realism through correct and plausible motion, while ...

    • An Accurate Illumination Model for Objects Coated with Multilayer Films 

      Hirayama, H.; Kaneda, K.; Yamashita, H.; Monden, Y. (Eurographics Association, 2000)
      This paper proposes an accurate illumination model for rendering objects coated with multilayer films. Optical phenomenaof multilayer films are caused by reflection, refraction, interference, and absorption of light inside ...

    • MeshSweeper: From Closest Point to Hausdorff Distance Between Meshes 

      Gueziec, A. (Eurographics Association, 2000)
