Interactive Rendering of Large Unstructured Grids Using Dynamic Level-of-Detail
We describe a new dynamic level-of-detail (LOD) technique that allows real-time rendering of large tetrahedral meshes. Unlike approaches that require hierarchies of tetrahedra, ou...

Texture-Based Visualization of Uncertainty in Flow Fields
In this paper, we present two novel texture-based techniques to visualize uncertainty in time-dependent 2D flow fields. Both methods use semi-Lagrangian texture advection to sho...

A Linear Algorithm for Exact Pattern Matching in Planar Subdivisions
Graph sub-isomorphism is a very common approach to solving pattern search problems, but this is a NP-complete problem. This way, it is necessary to invest in research of approxima...

A Maximum Uncertainty LDA-Based Approach for Limited Sample Size Problems : With Application to Face Recognition
A critical issue of applying Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) is both the singularity and instability of the within-class scatter matrix. In practice, particularly in image recog...

Two-Level Interaction Approach for Transfer Function Specification
Direct volume rendering techniques are used to visualize and explore large scalar volumes. Transfer functions (TFs) that assign opacity and color to scalar values are very importa...

Boolean Operations on Surfel-Bounded Objects Using Constrained BSP-Trees
Point-based modeling and rendering is an active area of research in Computer Graphics. The concept of points with attributes (e.g. normals) is usually referred to as surfels, and ...

A Brief Account of the Relations between Gray-Scale Mathematical Morphologies
Mathematical morphology was originally conceived as a set theoretic approach for the processing of binary images. Approaches that extend classical binary morphology to gray-scale ...

Ridge-Based Fingerprint Matching Using Hough Transform
Despite the efficacy of minutia-based fingerprint matching techniques for good-quality images captured by optical sensors, minutia-based techniques do not often perform so well on...
