Accelerated Volume Rendering with Homogeneous Region Encoding using Extended Anisotropic Chessboard Distance on GPU
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)Ray traversal is the most time consuming part in volume ray casting. In this paper, an acceleration technique for direct volume rendering is introduced, which uses a GPU friendly data structure to reduce traversal time. ... -
Accelerating and Benchmarking Radix-k Image Compositing at Large Scale
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)Radix-k was introduced in 2009 as a configurable image compositing algorithm. The ability to tune it by selecting k-values allows it to benefit more from pixel reduction and compression optimizations than its predecessors. ... -
Accelerating the Irradiance Cache through Parallel Component-Based Rendering
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)The irradiance cache is an acceleration data structure which caches indirect diffuse samples within the framework of a distributed ray-tracing algorithm. Previously calculated values can be stored and reused in future ... -

Alternative Parameters for On-The-Fly Simplification of MergeTrees
(The Eurographics Association, 2020)Topological simplification of merge trees requires a user specified persistence threshold. As this threshold is based on prior domain knowledge and has an unpredictable relation to output size, its use faces challenges in ... -
Analysis of Cache Behavior and Performance of Different BVH Memory Layouts for Tracing Incoherent Rays
(The Eurographics Association, 2013)With CPUs moving towards many-core architectures and GPUs becoming more general purpose architectures, path tracing can now be well parallelized on commodity hardware. While parallelization is trivial in theory, properties ... -
An Application of Scalable Massive Model Interaction using Shared-Memory Systems
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)During the end-to-end digital design of a commerical airliner, a massive amount of geometric data is produced. This data can be used for inspection or maintenance throughout the life of the aircraft. Massive model interactive ... -
