Preserving a Special Appearance

Appearance-preserving Simplification of Polygonal Models

Preserving the Hand-drawn Appearance of Graphs

When using a sketching tool to draw graphs, the edges need to appear hand-drawn. This is particularly the case after edges have been repositioned – if the action of moving a node results in its edges appearing as straight lines, the graph drawing will not retain its informal, hand-drawn appearance. The method for preserving the hand-drawn appearance of graphs described here is based on user obs...

GPU-based Appearance Preserving Trimmed NURBS Rendering

Trimmed NURBS are the standard surface representation used in CAD/CAM systems and accurate visualization of trimmed NURBS models at interactive frame rates is of great interest for industry. To support modification and/or animation of such surfaces, a GPU-based trimming and tessellation algorithm has been developed recently. First, the NURBS is approximated with a bi-cubic hierarchy of Bézier p...

Visual Appearance of Printed Special Effect Colors

This paper investigates the visual appearance of printed special effect colors that become increasingly popular in high-quality printing. Since traditional colorimetry is insufficient to assess the unique visual appearance of such prints, improved perceptionbased measures and tolerances are necessary for process control and quality assurance. A prerequisite for developing such measures is a tra...

After Translation: Preserving/Disrupting the Concept of Polyphony with Special Focus on Hermeneutics

In modern literature, polyphony is a sort of recital which involves a variety of voices and standpoints. This plurality of independent voices was introduced by the Russian philosopher Mikhail Bakhtin. This study sought to look into how the notion of polyphony based on the character(s)' voices in Faulkner‟s novel entitled The Sound and the Fury </span...
