This paper describes a new control mechanism for distributed rendering. Control mechanisms have previously been widely used in many fields from autonomous robots to video streaming. Their use in video streaming has allowed ...

This paper presents a novel image caching strategy implemented for our bifocal radial visualization for Intranet search visualization. This visualization displays search results by combining hierarchical information with ...

We present an overview of work in progress to create ageing functions for the transformation of human face images. Our aims are twofold; Firstly, by extension to three dimensions, the problems of pose and lighting associated ...

To detect collisions between deformable objects we introduce an algorithm that computes the closest distances between certain feature points defined in their meshes. The strategy is to divide the objects into regions and ...

This paper presents a real-time simulation method for coupling of cloth and fluids computed by using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH). To compute interaction between cloth consisting of several polygons and fluid ...

Film grain is an essential part of real images. The artifacts it introduces add character to images, which can otherwise appear too perfect. This paper considers the synthesis of film grain based upon its noise-power ...

In this paper, a novel algorithm for rendering antialiased 2D polygons is presented. Although such algorithms do exist, they are inefficient when comparing to non-antialiased alternatives. This has lead to a situation where ...

We propose a hybrid algorithm for isosurface visualization that embraces both polygon rendering and direct surface rendering concepts. It uses raytracing to achieve high image quality but avoids the associated empty ray ...

This paper present a simplified approach to wind animation of natural looking tree stems and branches. The presented approach is composed from several earlier works by a number of authors, each adapted to increase its ...

Mass-spring systems simulations rely on the numerical integration method used for solving the resulting ordinary differential equations. Implicit schemes, which solve such equations, are unconditionally stable and are thus ...
