      Middleton, M.; Yue, Y. (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      Although there has been a great deal of research on DNA, DNA visualisation has been long overlooked. This paper studies current techniques for 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional DNA visualisation and other relevant areas such ...

    • An Interactive Multiscale Framework for Enhancement and Visualization of 2D and 3D Image Data 

      Graham, Andrew D.; Turner, Martin J.; Hewitt, Terry (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      We present an interactive, multiscale framework for enhancement and de-noising of images and volumes for the purposes of medical image visualization. Among the visualization issues addressed are noise suppression and ...

    • A Mixed Reality Anatomy Teaching Tool 

      Thomas, Rhys G.; John, Nigel W.; Lim, Ik Soo (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      In this paper we present an inexpensive Mixed Reality software tool for training medical students in anatomy. The software integrates the ARToolkit and Visualization Toolkit (VTK) to create a novel interactive environment ...

    • Out of core Polyhedral Union and its Application to Interactive Shadow Rendering 

      Fedorkiw, J.; Smith, C.; Ghali, S. (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      Four methods for storing a set of points using a computer are currently known: Boundary representations, Constructive Solid Geometry, Binary Space Partitioning trees, and Nef polyhedra. We describe a time and spaceefficient ...

    • Perceived Rendering Thresholds for High-Fidelity Graphics on Small Screen Devices 

      Aranha, M.; Debattista, K.; Chalmers, A.; Hill, S. (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      Small screen devices, also known as small-form-factor (SFF) devices including mobile phones and ultra mobile PCs are increasingly ubiquitous. Their uses includes gaming, navigation and interactive visualisation. SFF devices ...

    • Structured Image Techniques for Efficient High-Fidelity Graphics 

      Yang, X.; Debattista, K.; Chalmers, A. (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      Global illumination rendering in real-time for high-fidelity graphics remains one of the biggest challenges for computer graphics in the foreseeable future. Recent work has shown that significant amounts of time can be ...

    • Curvature-Based Segmentation for Sketch Understanding 

      Zheng, Wentao; Liu, Zhiyu; Sun, Zhengxing (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      Segmentation is known as an important and fundamental task in sketch understanding, by which free hand drawing is processed into primitive geometric units such as line segments, arcs, etc. Usually, two types of information ...

    • Collision Detection for Deformable Objects using Octrees 

      Madera, F. A.; Day, A. M.; Laycock, S. D. (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      We present an algorithm for collision detection between multiple deformable objects translating in a large environment. We use Spatial Partitioning to subdivide the scene and a Bounding Volume Hierarchy to decompose the ...
