Simplification of 2D Polygonal Partitions via Point‐line Projective Duality, and Application to Urban Reconstruction

construction and validation of translation metacognitive strategy questionnaire and its application to translation quality

like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...

Surface Partitions for Progressive Transmission and Display, and Dynamic Simplification of Polygonal Surfaces

We present a new method for (1) automatically generating multiple Levels Of Detail (LODs) of a polygonal surface, (2) progressively loading, or transmitting, and displaying a surface, and for (3) changing interactively the LOD when displaying. We build the LODs using any algorithm that performs edge collapses and certain vertex removals to simplify surfaces, and provides an ordered list of orde...

Polygonal Simplification: An Overview

Properties Based Simplification of 2D Urban Area Map Object

For a long time, Geo-spatial information was printed on paper maps whose contents were produced once for specific purposes and scales. These maps are characterized by their portability, good graphic quality, high image resolution and good placement of their symbols and labels. These maps have been generated manually by cartographers whose work was hard and fastidious. Today, Computers are in us...

Quadric-Based Polygonal Surface Simplification

Many applications in computer graphics and related fields can benefit from automatic simplification of complex polygonal surface models. Applications are often confronted with either very densely over-sampled surfaces or models too complex for the limited available hardware capacity. An effective algorithm for rapidly producing high-quality approximations of the original model is a valuable too...
