Reflectance Models with Fast Importance Sampling
(Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1999)We introduce a physically plausible mathematical model for a large class of BRDFs. The new model is as simple as the well-known Phong model, but eliminates its disadvantages. It gives a good visual approximation for many ... -
Hermitian B-Splines
(Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1999)This paper proposes to study a spline model, called HB-splines, that is in fact a B-spline representation of Hermite splines, combined with some restriction on the differential values at segment boundaries. Although this ... -
G1 Hierarchical Bezier Surface over Arbitrary Meshes
(Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1999)This paper presents a method for constructing composite surfaces based on a collection of quadrilateral patches. A global parameterization using bilinear quadrilateral meshes and FEM like minimization procedure are introduced. ... -
Adaptable Splatting for Irregular Volume Rendering
(Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1999)By employment of a footprint table in conducting intensity integration, splatting method has been very successful in rendering regular data volumes. Recently, the method has also been extended to render irregular data ... -

Synchronisation and Load Balancing for Parallel Hierarchical Radiosity of Complex Scenes on a Heterogeneous Computer Network
(Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1999)In this paper we propose a SPMD parallel hierarchical radiosity algorithm relying on a novel partitioning method which may apply to any kind of architectural scene. This algorithm is based on MPI (Message Passing Interface), ... -

Occluder Shadows for Fast Walkthroughs of Urban Environments
(Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1999)This paper describes a new algorithm that employs image-based rendering for fast occlusion culling in complex urban environments. It exploits graphics hardware to render and automatically combine a relatively large set of ... -
Creating Architectural Models from Images
(Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1999)We present methods for creating 3D graphical models of scenes from a limited numbers of images, i.e. one or two, in situations where no scene co-ordinate measurements are available. The methods employ constraints available ... -
An Efficient and Flexible Perception Pipeline for Autonomous Agents
(Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1999)Agents in virtual environments require a combination of perception and action to behave in an autonomous way. We extend a software architecture for the management of actions blending, called AGENTlib, with a perception ... -
An Efficient 2? D rendering and Compositing System
(Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1999)We describe a method for doing image compositing using either 2D geometric shapes or raster images as input primitives. The resolution of the final image is virtually unlimited but, as no frame buffer is used, performance ... -
Fast Lines: a Span by Span Method
(Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1999)Straight line's scan conversion and drawing is a major field in computer graphics. Algorithm's time computation is very important. Nowadays, most of research papers suggest improvements of the DDA method that was first ... -
Interactive Cuts through 3-Dimensional Soft Tissue
(Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1999)We describe a physically based framework for interactive modeling and cutting of 3-dimensional soft tissue that can be used for surgery simulation. Unlike existing approaches which are mostly designed for tensorproduct ... -
Comprehensive Halftoning of 3D Scenes
(Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1999)The display of images on binary output hardware requires a halftoning step. Conventional halftoning algorithms approximate image values independently from the image content and often introduce artificial texture that ... -
Interactive Line Art Rendering of Freeform Surfaces
(Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1999)In recent years, synthetically created line art renderings have reached quality levels that are aesthetically pleasing. Moreover, the sketch based approach was found to be quite capable at conveying geometrical information ... -
Fast Polyhedral Cell Sorting for Interactive Rendering of Unstructured Grids
(Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1999)Direct volume rendering based on projective methods works by projecting, in visibility order, the polyhedral cells of a mesh onto the image plane, and incrementally compositing the cell's color and opacity into the final ...
