Large-scale supercomputing is revolutionizing the way science is conducted. A growing challenge, however, is understanding the massive quantities of data produced by largescale si...
Abstract. An algorithm for simulating diffuse interreflection in complex three dimensional scenes is described. It combines techniques from hierarchical radiosity and multiresolut...

Mapping of features such as texture and geometric detail is an important tool that enhances realism of surface geometry in graphics and animation. This essentially involves a tran...
Height maps are a very efficient surface representation, initially developed for terrain modeling and visualization. They are also present in other applications, such as mesostruc...
