A number of techniques have been proposed for flying through scenes by redisplaying
previously rendered or digitized views. Techniques have also been proposed for …

This book provides a fundamental understanding of global illumination algorithms. It
discusses a broad class of algorithms for realistic image synthesis and introduces a …

In this paper we introduce an empirical ambient light illumination model. The purpose of the
development of this model is to account for the ambient light in a more accurate way than it …

Image-based or light field rendering has received much recent attention as an alternative to
traditional geometric methods for modeling and rendering complex objects. A light field …

In this paper we present a new framework for the analysis of scene visibility and radiosity
complexity. We introduce a number of complexity measures from information theory …

A rotational band of nineteen transitions, extending to spin∼(127/2ħ and with an average
moment of inertia scrI (2) of 77 ħ 2 MeV− 1, has been observed in Gd 149. Its intensity …

Visibility problems are central to many computer graphics applications. The most common
examples include hidden-part removal for view computation, shadow boundaries, mutual …

Visibility computations are central in any computer graphics application. The most common
way to reduce this expense is the use of approximate approaches using spatial subdivision …

We present a novel information-theoretic approach for thresholding-based segmentation
that uses the excess entropy to measure the structural information of a 2D or 3D image and …

This paper addresses the problem of computing the triangles visible from a region in space.
The proposed aggressive visibility solution is based on stochastic ray shooting and can take …
