We present the concept of hierarchical instantiation for radiosity. This new method enables an efficient, yet accurate determination of the illumination in very large scenes, wher...
Geo-referenced information is used by a growing number of “spatially-aware” tools in different application areas, including tourism, marketing, environmental management, and m...
The recent advances in database technology have enabled the development of a new generation of spatial databases, where the DBMS is able to manage spatial and non-spatial data typ...
This paper presents an interactive environment for texturing surfaces of arbitrary 3D objects. By uniquely using solid textures and applying them to the surface, we do not require...

Previous parametric representations of smooth genus-zero surfaces require a collection of abutting patches (e.g. splines, NURBS, recursively subdivided polygons). We introduce a s...
