• Towards Image Rendering using models of Image Manifolds 

  Woodland, A.; Labrosse, F. (The Eurographics Association, 2008)

  Building computer representations of real objects, which could be archaeological artifacts or planned buildings, is a very active research area. Typically objects are represented in computer memory as a collection of ...

• A Lemon is not a Monstar: Visualization of Singularities of Symmetric Second Rank Tensor Fields in the Plane 

  Liu, J.; Hewitt, W. T.; Lionheart, W. R. B.; Montaldi, J.; Turner, M. (The Eurographics Association, 2008)

  In the visualization of the topology of second rank symmetric tensor fields in the plane one can extract some key points (degenerate points), and curves (separatrices) that characterize the qualitative behaviour of the ...

• A Benchmarking Framework for Static Collision Detection 

  Diktas, Engin Deniz; Sahiner, Ali Vahit (The Eurographics Association, 2008)

  Performanceof static collision detection queries depends on the type of the hierarchy chosen as well as the relative positioning of the colliding objects. In order to evaluate the performance of bounding volume hierarchies, ...

• GPU-based Visualisation of Protein Secondary Structure 

  Krone, Michael; Bidmon, Katrin; Ertl, Thomas (The Eurographics Association, 2008)

  The increasing number of protein 3D structure information available makes the high-quality visualisation of this information play a more and more important role. Beside element-based representations the secondary-structurebased ...

• A Fast Algorithm for Painterly Rendering on Mobile Devices 

  Mukundan, R.; Han, C. (The Eurographics Association, 2008)

  With the rapid growth of mobile graphics applications, non-photorealistic rendering algorithms developed particularly for devices with limited processor capabilities have become important in the areas of games design and ...

• A New Method for Interacting with Multi-Window Applications on Large, High Resolution Displays 

  Rooney, Chris; Ruddle, Roy A. (The Eurographics Association, 2008)

  Physically large display walls can now be constructed using off-the-shelf computer hardware. The high resolution of these displays (e.g., 50 million pixels) means that a large quantity of data can be presented to users, ...

• Localised Topology Correction for Hypertextured Terrains 

  Gamito, Manuel N.; Maddock, Steve C. (The Eurographics Association, 2008)
