    • Automatic Creation of Object Hierarchies for Radiosity Clustering 

      Muller, Gordon; Schafer, Stephan; Fellner, Dieter W. (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 2000)
      Using object clusters for hierarchical radiosity greatly improves the efficiency and thus usability of radiosity computations. By eliminating the quadratic starting phase very large scenes containing about 100k polygons ...

    • Wavelet Radiative Transfer and Surface Interaction 

      Lewis, Robert R.; Fournier, Alain (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 2000)
      Recently, there has been considerable interest in the representation of radiance in terms of wavelet basis functions. We will present a coordinate system called Nusselt coordinates which, when combined with wavelets, ...

    • Hierarchical Reconstruction of BRDFs using Locally Supported Functions 

      Noe, N.; Peroche, B. (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 2000)
      BRDFs are the backbone of realistic rendering algorithms. Analytical models are sometimes ineffective since they frequently cannot represent very particular material characteristics (retro-reflection, anisotropy, ...

    • Conflict Neutralization on Binary Space Partitioning 

      James, A.; Day, A.M. (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 2000)
      The Binary Space Partitioning (BSP) tree achieves fast hidden surface removal for most practical applications where an observer can move through a scene of static objects. However, the BSP algorithm generally increases the ...

    • Computation of Irradiance from Triangles by Adaptive Sampling 

      Urena, C. (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 2000)
      We introduce an algorithm for sample positioning in a planar triangle, which can be used to make numerical integration of an arbitrary function defined on it. This algorithm has some interesting properties which make it ...

    • Automatic Camera Placement for Image-Based Modeling 

      Fleishman, Shachar; Cohen-Or, Daniel; Lischinski, Dani (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 2000)
      We present an automatic camera placement method for generating image-based models from scenes with known geometry. Our method first approximately determines the set of surfaces visible from a given viewing area and then ...

    • Real-Time Simulation of a Stretcher Evacuation in a Large-Scale Virtual Environment 

      Hubbold, Roger; Keates, Martin (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 2000)
      This paper presents a case study of navigation and manipulation in a large, geometrically complex, virtual environment representing an off-shore gas platform. Our approach is based on a combined force-field navigation and ...

    • Dynamic Polygon Visibility Ordering for Head-Slaved Viewing in Virtual Environments 

      Sadagic, Amela; Slater, Mel (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 2000)
      This paper presents an approach to visibility called the Viewpoint Movement Space (VpMS) algorithm which supports the concept of dynamic polygon visibility orderings for head-slaved viewing in virtual environments (VE). ...

    • Observational Models of Graphite Pencil Materials 

      Sousa, Mario Costa; Buchanan, John W. (Blackwell Publishers Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 2000)
      This paper presents models for graphite pencil, drawing paper, blenders, and kneaded eraser that produce realistic looking pencil marks, textures, and tones. Our models are based on an observation of how lead pencils ...
