Abstract. This paper presents an efficient parallel algorithm for volume rendering of large-scale datasets. Our algorithm focuses on an optimization technique, namely early ray te...
Shadow mapping is a technique for doing real-time shadowing. Recent work has shown that shadow mapping hardware can be used as a second depth test in addition to the z-test. In th...
It is well known that antipodal grasps can be achieved on curved objects in the presence of friction. This paper presents an efficient algorithm that finds, up to numerical reso...
Many VR platforms emphasize extensibility to support as wide a range of applications as possible. The current trend is to move this extensibility to lower levels of the system to ...
—Differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy is a powerful visualization tool used to study live biological cells. Its use, however, has been limited to qualitative obser...
