In this paper, we give an elaborate and understandable review of traffic cellular automata
(TCA) models, which are a class of computationally efficient microscopic traffic flow models …

Computer graphics systems are capable of generating stunningly realistic images of objects
that have never physically existed. In order for computers to create these accurately detailed …

We present a method for generating surface crack patterns that appear in materials such as
mud, ceramic glaze, and glass. To model these phenomena, we build upon existing …

Weathering modeling introduces blemishes such as dirt, rust, cracks and scratches to virtual
scenery. In this paper we present a visual stimulation technique that works well for a wide …

Interesting textures form on the surfaces of objects as the result of external chemical,
mechanical, and biological agents. Simulating these textures is necessary to generate …

Aging phenomena often play a key role in realistic rendering: excepting when the desired
result is specifically a brand-new virtual object, their absence can lead to non-realistic …

We propose a method to reproduce dynamic appearance textures with space-stationary but
time-varying visual statistics. While most previous work decomposes dynamic textures into …

This paper reviews numerical methods used to simulate desiccation cracks in clayey soils. It
examines five numerical approaches: Finite Element (FEM), Lattice Boltzmann (LBM) …

This paper presents an interactive method for modeling cracks and fractures over a variety of
materials such as glass, metal, wood, and stone. Existing physically based techniques are …

The main objective of the SoDA (Soil Degradation Assessment) project is to realize a
simulator of soil surface degradation by rainfall at the meter scale and including …
