Abstract. The appearance of many natural materials is largely influenced by the environment in which they are situated. Capturing the effects of such environmental factors is esse...
Although current photorealistic rendering techniques can produce very impressive images, the rendered objects are often too clean and shiny. Thus, the resulting images look unnatu...
We describe an adaptive display algorithm for interactive frame rates during visualization of very complex virtual environments. The algorithm relies upon a hierarchical model rep...
Despite recent advances in finding efficient LOD-representations for gigantic 3D objects, rendering of complex, gigabyte-sized models and environments is still a challenging tas...
Using an array of photo shots, the concentric mosaic offers a quick way to capture and model a realistic three-dimensional (3-D) environment. In this work, we compress the concentr...
