Simple Empty-Space Removal for Interactive Volume Rendering
Interactive volume rendering methods such as texture-based slicing techniques and ray-casting have been well developed in recent years. The rendering performance is generally restr...

Calculating Center of Mass in an Unbounded 2D Environment
We study the behavior of simple, 2-D, self-organizing primitives that interact and move in an unbounded environment to create aggregated shapes. Each primitive is represented by a ...

Fast Equal-Area Mapping of the (Hemi)Sphere using SIMD
We present a fast vectorized implementation of a transform that maps points in the unit square to the surface of the sphere, while preserving fractional area. The mapping uses the ...

Robust Soft Shadow Mapping with Backprojection and Depth Peeling
Abstract. Soft shadow mapping is an attractive solution to the problem of realtime soft shadows because it works with any kind of rasterizable geometry (in particular alpha-transpa...

Efficient GPU-Based Texture Interpolation using Uniform B-Splines
Abstract. This article presents uniform B-spline interpolation, completely contained on the graphics processing unit (GPU). This implies that the CPU does not need to compute any l...
