Curvature-Based Transfer Functions for Direct Volume Rendering: Methods and Applications
Direct volume rendering of scalar fields uses a transfer function to map locally measured data properties to opacities and colors. The domain of the transfer function is typicall...

Anisotropic geodesic distance computation for parametric surfaces
The distribution of geometric features is anisotropic by its nature. Intrinsic properties of surfaces such as normal curvatures, for example, varies with direction. In this paper ...

Adaptive hierarchical RBF interpolation for creating smooth digital elevation models
This paper presents a fast algorithm for smooth digital elevation model interpolation and approximation from scattered elevation data. The global surface is reconstructed by subdi...

A Cellular Texture Basis Function
Solid texturing is a powerful way to add detail to the surface of rendered objects. Perlin's "noise" is a 3D basis function used in some of the most dramatic and us...

Measuring and modeling anisotropic reflection
A new device for measuringthe spatial reflectancedistributionsof surfaces is introduced, along with a new mathematical model of sniaorropic reflectance. The reflectance model pres...
