Harmonized Texture Mapping

Texture Mapping

Projective Texture Mapping

Projective texture mapping is a method of texture mapping described by Segal [3] that allows the texture image to be projected onto the scene as if by a slide projector. Figure 1 shows some example screen shots from the projspot demo, available in the NVIDIA OpenGL SDK. Projective texture mapping is useful in a variety of lighting techniques, including shadow mapping [4]. This document provides...

Aperiodic Texture Mapping

In this paper we introduce a new technique to texture surfaces. Our approach has the advantage that the texture does not have to be computed at each point of the surface. Rather, we precompute a small set of texture maps which we then map aperiodically onto the surface. The algorithm borrows from recent mathematical results in the area of aperiodic tilings of the plane. To demonstrate the feasi...

Spiral Texture Mapping

Spiral texture mapping extends and combines two main categories of texture mapping approaches, namely, displacement texture mapping and view-dependent texture mapping. A spiral texture contains two components: a view-independent one and a view-dependent one. The first component contains a layered depth image, which stores the depth information and the extracted diffuse color information of the ...

Recursive Texture Mapping

Mapping a texture image onto a flat spatial surface and subsequently projecting the image into screen space (such as a computer display) by a central projection results in a fractional linear transformation. Hence the inverse texture map is fractional linear as well. The divisions involved in this inverse can be prohibitively expensive for real time applications. This paper presents a method th...
