Modeling and Rendering of Individual Feathers
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a model for geometric modeling and rendering of individual feathers for computer graphics purposes. The model represents the feather structure with a collection of parameterized Bézier curves. This parametrization allows easy generation of the existent types of feather structures with biologically-motivated parameters. Once the feather structure is defined, the feathers can be rendered either in a non-photorealistic rendering style or using texture mapping to achieve a more natural look.

Spatial Relationship between Mandibular Third Molars and Inferior Alveolar Nerve using a Volume Rendering Software
Precise localization of the third molars in relation to the inferior alveolar nerve canal is critical from a clinical point of view and strongly affects the surgical treatment outcome. Recently, by using three-dimensional modeling software, the relationship of third molar root apices and inferior alveolar nerve canal can be better understood. In this study, the spatial relationship of two surgi...
متن کاملBarn owl feathers as biomonitors of mercury: sources of variation in sampling procedures.
Given their central role in mercury (Hg) excretion and suitability as reservoirs, bird feathers are useful Hg biomonitors. Nevertheless, the interpretation of Hg concentrations is still questioned as a result of a poor knowledge of feather physiology and mechanisms affecting Hg deposition. Given the constraints of feather availability to ecotoxicological studies, we tested the effect of intra-i...

متن کاملComment on "Feather meal: a previously unrecognized route for reentry into the food supply of multiple pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs)".
Antimicrobials used in poultry production have the potential to bioaccumulate in poultry feathers but available data are scarce. Following poultry slaughter, feathers are converted by rendering into feather meal and sold as fertilizer and animal feed, thereby providing a potential pathway for reentry of drugs into the human food supply. We analyzed feather meal (n = 12 samples) for 59 pharmaceu...
متن کاملA Generalized Scene Graph
Scene graphs are fundamental data structures for hierarchical scene modeling. The generalized scene graph overcomes various limitations of current scene graph architectures such as support for different 3D rendering systems, integration of multi-pass rendering, and declarative modeling of scenes. The main idea is to separate scene specification from scene evaluation. To specify scenes, scene gr...
