Hopf Textures

A Hopf texture is a vacuum field configuration of isovector fields which is an onto map from the space as a large three sphere to the vacuum manifold S. We construct a Hopf texture with spherically symmetric energy density and discuss the topological charge. A Hopf texture collapses, and we study the collapse process numerically. In our simulations, it is clear that a Hopf texture does not deca...

Relief Textures

We have developed a new method for transforming images with per-pixel displacements into textures that have correct parallax when texture-mapped, in the usual way, onto polygons. Our new method results from factoring the 3-D image-warping equations of McMillan and Bishop into a prewarp followed by standard texture mapping. The pre-warp handles only the parallax effects resulting from the direct...

Floating Textures

We present a novel multi-view, projective texture mapping technique. While previous multi-view texturing approaches lead to blurring and ghosting artefacts if 3D geometry and/or camera calibration are imprecise, we propose a texturing algorithm that warps (“floats”) projected textures during run-time to preserve crisp, detailed texture appearance. Our GPU implementation achieves interactive to ...

Crystallographic textures

To material scientists the term texture means the crystallographic orientation of grains in a polycrystal. In contrast, geologists use the term more generally to refer to the spatial arrangement or association of mineral grains in a rock. In this contribution we are concerned with the materials science definition. There are several established techniques available for the determination of cryst...
