Smooth Geometry Images
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...

Illuminating micro geometry based on precomputed visibility
Many researchers have been arguing that geometry, bump maps, and BRDFs present a hierarchy of detail that should be exploited for efficient rendering purposes. In practice howeve...

High Dynamic Range Volume Visualization
High resolution volumes require high precision compositing to preserve detailed structures. This is even more desirable for volumes with high dynamic range values. After the high ...

OpenVIDIA: parallel GPU computer vision
Graphics and vision are approximate inverses of each other: ordinarily Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are used to convert “numbers into pictures” (i.e. computer graphics). I...
