Rendering from Compressed Textures
We present a simple method for rendering directly from compressed textures in hardware and software rendering systems. Textures are compressed using a vector quantization (VQ) met...

Object Representation using 1D Displacement Mapping
In this paper, we propose a new method for rendering image-based objects. An object is decomposed into a set of 1D displacement textures in a preprocessing stage. During rendering...

Object Space EWA Surface Splatting: A Hardware Accelerated Approach to High Quality Point Rendering
Elliptical weighted average (EWA) surface splatting is a technique for high quality rendering of point-sampled 3D objects. EWA surface splatting renders water-tight surfaces of co...

The Clipmap: A Virtual Mipmap
We describe the clipmap, a dynamic texture representation that efficiently caches textures of arbitrarily large size in a finite amount of physical memory for rendering at real-...

Acceleration Techniques for GPU-based Volume Rendering
Nowadays, direct volume rendering via 3D textures has positioned itself as an efficient tool for the display and visual analysis of volumetric scalar fields. It is commonly acce...
