• Deriving Spectral, Reflectance Functions of Computer-Simulated Object Colours 

  Schettini, R. (Blackwell Science Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1994)

  A method is presented which, given the RGB values of a colour stimulus displayed on a given cathode ray tube (to which a CIE XYZ triple corresponds), makes it possible to find a spectral reflectance function characterizing ...

• Recovering a Smooth Boundary Representation from an Edge Quadtree and from a Face Octree 

  Pla-Garcia, N. (Blackwell Science Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1994)

  The Face Octrees are a representation scheme which is very suitable to represent both smooth free form surfaces and solids with smooth boundary, as well as, to perform operations among them. However, the Face Octree ...

• The Mesh Propagation Algorithm for Isosurface Construction 

  Howic, C.T.; Blake, E.H. (Blackwell Science Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1994)

• A New Approach to the Construction of Surfaces from Contour Data 

  Jones, Mark W.; Chen, Min (Blackwell Science Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1994)

  This paper presents a new approach to the construction of a surface from a stack of contour slices. Unlike most existing methods, this new approach handles ambiguous conditions consistently without employing an algorithm ...

• Skylight for Interior Lighting Design 

  Dobashi, Yoshinori; Kaneda, Kazufumi; Nakashima, Takanobu; Yamashita, Hideo; Nishita, Tomoyuki and Tadamura, Kastumi (Blackwell Science Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1994)
