    • Exploration of 3D Spectroscopy Data 

      Romo, Celia; Torres, Juan Carlos; León, Alejandro J. (The Eurographics Association, 2012)
      Integral field spectroscopy (IFS) is a technique that is widely used by astrophysics. It allows the whole electromagnetic spectrum for each pixel of a telescope image to be captured, generating a large amount of information. ...
    • A New Approach to Cultural Heritage Information Systems 

      Soler, Francisco; Torres, Juan Carlos; Cano, Pedro; León, Alejandro (The Eurographics Association, 2012)
      Work on archaeological sites or cultural heritage artefacts usually generates a huge amount of heterogeneous information. The strong spatial structure of data suggests that this information should be linked to a threedimensional ...

      Demeulemeester, Aljosha; Hollemeersch, Charles-Frederik; Pieters, Bart; Lambert, Peter; Walle, Rik Van de (The Eurographics Association, 2012)
      Virtual texturing systems have enabled gigapixel resolutions for textures used in real-time rendering. This allows for more detail and diversity in virtual worlds at the cost of greatly increasing disc storage requirements. ...
    • Revision Control Framework for 3D Assets 

      Dobos, Jozef; Steed, Anthony (The Eurographics Association, 2012)
      We propose a non-linear concurrent revision control for centralised management of 3D assets and a novel approach to mesh differencing. Large models are decomposed into individual scene graph (SG) nodes through an asset ...
    • Teaching a Modern Graphics Pipeline Using a Shader-based Software Renderer 

      Fink, Heinrich; Weber, Thomas; Wimmer, Michael (The Eurographics Association, 2012)
      Shaders are a fundamental pattern of the modern graphics pipeline. This paper presents a syllabus for an introductory computer graphics course that emphasizes the use of programmable shaders while teaching raster-level ...
    • Distance Learning in Computer Graphics 

      Chica, Antoni; Fairén, Marta; Pelechano, Nuria (The Eurographics Association, 2012)
      Computer graphic courses are pretty established in most computer graphics degrees worldwide. Distance learning has been gaining popularity as fast internet access from home has been reaching wider areas around the world. ...
    • Next Generation Handheld Graphics Edutainment for Learning in Adaptive Student Centric Environments: Constraints and Benefits 

      Cheng, Irene; Bilash, Olenka; Bischof, Walter F.; Basu, Anup (The Eurographics Association, 2012)
      Graphics is being used as an effective tool in visual communication, e.g. Second Life, Google city scene and Microsoft scene reconstruction. It is already changing social, cultural, commercial and educational environments. ...
