Practical Line Rasterization for Multi-resolution Textures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Draping 2D vectorial information over a 3D terrain elevation model is usually performed by real-time rendering to texture. In the case of linear feature representation, there are several specific problems using the texturing approach, specially when using multi-resolution textures. These problems are related to visual quality, aliasing artifacts and rendering performance. In this paper, we address the problems of 2D line rasterization on a multi-resolution texturing engine from a pragmatical point of view; some alternative solutions are presented, compared and evaluated. For each solution we have analyzed the visual quality, the impact on the rendering performance and the memory consumption. The study performed in this work is based on an OpenGL implementation of a clipmap-based multi-resolution texturing system, and is oriented towards the use of inexpensive consumer graphics hardware.

Interactive Animation of Volume Line Integral Convolution Based on 3D Texture Mapping
Line integral convolution (LIC) is an eeective technique for visualizing vector elds. The application of LIC to 3D ow elds has yet been limited by diiculties to eeciently display and animate the resulting 3D images. Texture-based volume rendering allows interactive visualization and manipulation of 3D LIC textures. In this context, we suggest two related approaches for animating static 3D ow el...
متن کاملDecoupling Polygon Rendering from Geometry using Rasterization Hardware
The dramatically increasing size of polygonal models resulting from 3D scanning devices and advanced modeling techniques requires new approaches to reduce the load of geometry transfer and processing. In order to supplement methods like polygon reduction or geometry compression we suggest to exploit the processing power and functionality of the rasterization and texture subsystem of advanced gr...
متن کامل3D Solid Texture Shape Descriptors based on Multi-Resolution Pyramids
3D solid textures are important data for computer graphics applications, and the amount of the data is increasing. When a large number of the 3D solid textures are stored as databases, similarity search techniques and classification techniques are essential for effective use of the databases. We have applied 3D HLAC (Higher Order Local Autocorrelation) masks to 3D solid textures for extracting ...

We introduce a novel texture-based volume rendering approach that achieves the image quality of the best post-shading approaches with far less slices. It is suitable for new flexible consumer graphics hardware and provides high image quality even for low-resolution volume data and non-linear transfer functions with high frequencies, without the performance overhead caused by rendering additiona...
متن کاملA NEW METHOD FOR MULTI−RESOLUTION TEXTURE SEGMENTATION USING GAUSSIAN MARKOV RANDOM FIELDS (MonPmOR2)
A new approach to multi−resolution modeling of images is introduced and applied to the task of semi−unsupervised texture segmentation using Gaussian Markov random fields (GMRFs). It is shown that traditional GMRF modeling of multi−resolution coefficients is incapable of accounting for the non−Gaussian statistics which often characterize the multi−resolution coefficients. On the other hand, the ...
