This paper describes the successful combination of pre-generated and dynamically updated image-based representations to accelerate the visualization of complex virtual environment...
Image-based rendering (IBR) systems enable virtual walkthroughs of photorealistic environments by warping and combining reference images to novel viewpoints under interactive user...

The use of detailed geometric models is a critical factor for achieving realism in most computer graphics applications. In the past few years, we have observed an increasing deman...
We are investigating methods to accelerate rendering of architectural walkthroughs. In this paper, we improve upon a cells and portals framework by using images to replace geometr...
