Comprehensive Halftoning of 3D Scenes
The display of images on binary output hardware requires a halftoning step. Conventional halftoning algorithms approximate image values independently from the image content and of...

Adaptive Acquisition of Lumigraphs from Synthetic Scenes
Light fields and Lumigraphs are capable of rendering scenes of arbitrary geometrical or illumination complexity in real time. They are thus interesting ways of interacting with bo...
