چکیده

As computational performance becomes more readily available, there will be an increasing variety of interactive graphical applications with iterative numerical techniques at their core. In this paper, we consider how to support the unique demands of such applications. In particular, we focus on how to set up the numerical problems which must be solved. In the context of interactive systems, this requires the ability to dynamically compose systems of equations and rapidly evaluate them and their derivatives. We present an approach called Snap-Together Mathematics for doing this.

DIRmaps : Discretized Incident Radiance Maps for High-Quality Global Illumination Walkthroughs in Complex Environments

Realtime ray tracing and interactive global illumination have recently made significant progress, allowing for ray traced rendering quality even in highly complex scenes. Nevertheless, high-quality global illumination is currently still limited to offline computations, as existing interactive techniques are applicable only to simple scenes, BRDFs, and/or lighting conditions. For realistically c...

Interactive Learning of Scene Context Extractor Using Combination of Bayesian Network and Logic Network

The vision-based scene understanding technique that infers scene-interpreting contexts from real-world vision data has to not only deal with various uncertain environments but also reflect user’s requests. Especially, learnability is a hot issue for the system. In this paper, we adopt a probabilistic approach to overcome the uncertainty, and propose an interactive learning method using combinat...
