The voxblt Engine: A Voxel Frame Buffer Processor
نویسنده
چکیده
The primitives of the vE are subcubes of the cubic frame buffer and are of three kinds: rooms (3D windows), jacks (3D cursors), and figurines (3D ,cons). In addition to manipUlating these primitives, the vE also serves as a monitor for interaction, as an interfaoe for 3D input devices, and as a channel for inputling into the cubic frame buffer 3D voxel images from either 3D scanners or a voxel image database. The vE has been developed as part of the CUBE system, In which it operates as an Independent processor executing its own commands stored in a 3D frame-buffer display list. A room manager, which is the 3D counterpart of the 20 Window manager, has been implemented on top cf the vE

Towards a 3-D Graphics Workstation
A voxel-map based architecture which lays the foundations for a 3-D graphics workstation, called the CUBE Workstation, is presented. The architecture is centered around a large cubic frame-buffer of voxels, operated on by three processors: a 9-D Geometry Processor which scan-converts geometric objects into their voxel representation, a 9-D Frame-Buffer Processor which manipulates the voxel-base...
متن کاملHardware Support for the Display and Manipulation of Binary Voxel Models
We use one of the available frame buffers for storage and direct display of the bi nary voxel data set. The other frame buffer holds either a surface normal view, a depth-shaded pre-image or the binary voxel data set of a secondary object. Altering the light direction or shading function IS performed by manipulating the hardware output lookup tables. An additional frame processor IS employed fo...
متن کاملA Two-Dimensional Frame Buffer Processor
The two-dimensional Frame Buffer Processor (FBP) is part of a proposed raster graphics computer architecture. It is a hardware-oriented organisation of a variation of a bitblt engine with a much richer repertoire. In addition, the FBP gives support to window management, transformations, and assists in some image operations ordinarily performed in software. The introduction of the FBP as a co-pr...
متن کاملDesigning a buffer-equipped hydraulic engine mount for mid-priced vehicles
A combined hydraulic engine mount and buffer is proposed in this study for use in the mid-priced vehicle. In some vehicle design projects, an engine is selected to use in a new car design. To achieve the desired vibration conditions, the mount can be redesigned with exorbitant costs and long-term research. The idea of using a buffer in the combination of the conventional engine mount is to sugg...
متن کاملA 7.1-GB/s Low-Power Rendering Engine in 2-D Array-Embedded Memory Logic CMOS for Portable Multimedia System
A single-chip rendering engine that consists of a DRAM frame buffer, a SRAM serial access memory, pixel/edge processor array and 32-b RISC core is proposed for low-power three-dimensional (3-D) graphics in portable systems. The main features are two-dimensional (2-D) hierarchical octet tree (HOT) array structure with bandwidth amplification, three dedicated network schemes, virtual page mapping...
