On incremental rendering of silhouette maps of a polyhedral scene
We consider the problem of incrementally rendering a polyhedral scene while the viewpoint is moving. In practical situations the number of geometric primitives to be rendered can ...

Materializing views with minimal size to answer queries
In this paper we study the following problem. Given a database and a set of queries, we want to find, in advance, a set of views that can compute the answers to the queries, such ...
