We introduce locally-rigid motion, a general framework for solving the M-point, N-view
structure-from-motion problem for unknown bodies deforming under orthography. The key …

We introduce a novel solid modeling framework taking advantage of the architecture of
parallel computing on modern graphics hardware. Solid models in this framework are …

We present a new approach to compute the approximate Boolean operations of two freeform
polygonal mesh solids efficiently with the help of Layered Depth Images (LDIs). After …

This paper presents a point-based rendering approach to visualize massive sets of 3D
points in real-time. In many disciplines such as architecture, engineering, and archeology …

Virtual worlds use simulation to create a fully-immersive 3D space in which users interact
and collaborate in real time. It is still a great challenge to scale virtual worlds to provide rich …

Due to the popularity of computer games and computer-animated movies, 3D models are
fast becoming an important element in multimedia applications. In addition to the …

Virtual environments are currently limited to no more than a hundred interacting users by the
simulator-centric server architectures used for many of these applications. There are some …

We present cone carving, a novel space carving technique supporting topologically correct
surface reconstruction from an incomplete scanned point cloud. The technique utilizes the …

In this paper, we present a visualization and tracking system for coherent structures. For this
purpose, we propose to consider shear stress-the stretching and shear of particles inside a …

Mirroring the development of rendering algorithms for polygonal models, z-buffer style
rendering for point-based models has given way recently to more advanced methods. A fast …
