For a collection F of d-variate piecewise linear functions of overall combinatorial complexity n, the lower envelope E(F) of F is the pointwise minimum of these functions. The min...
With the advances in rendering hardware, it is possible to render very complex scenes in real-time. In general, computers do not have enough memory to store all the necessary infor...
Shaded relief derived automatically from digital elevation models differs distinctly from traditional manual shading. Particularly at small scales, many small topographic details ...
We present algorithms for constructing a hierarchy of increasingly coarse Morse complexes that decompose a piecewise linear 2-manifold. While Morse complexes are defined only in t...
Though considerable progress has been made with the view-dependent techniques in terrain visualization, the CPU overhead still precludes their wide application in many domains. Th...
