Influence of blending functions on volumetric cloud images
نویسندگان
چکیده
Various blending functions can be applied in the volumetric modelling of clouds. This paper analyzes the impact of five different blending functions (linear, cubic, Wyvill-1, Wyvill-2, and cosine) on cloud shape, structure, and area. We have found that there are only negligible differences among them. Therefore, we can conclude that the simple linear blending function satisfies all the desired properties for generating cloud images by volumetric modelling.

A multi-scale convolutional neural network for automatic cloud and cloud shadow detection from Gaofen-1 images
The reconstruction of the information contaminated by cloud and cloud shadow is an important step in pre-processing of high-resolution satellite images. The cloud and cloud shadow automatic segmentation could be the first step in the process of reconstructing the information contaminated by cloud and cloud shadow. This stage is a remarkable challenge due to the relatively inefficient performanc...
متن کاملHigh-Performance Rendering of Realistic Cumulus Clouds Using Pre-computed Lighting
We present a new method for rendering realistic cumulus clouds in real time. The clouds in our approach consist of randomly rotated and scaled copies of a single reference particle. During the pre-processing, we pre-compute optical depth, single and multiple scattering inside the reference particle for every camera position, orientation and light direction, and store the information in the look...
متن کاملThe effects of volumetric changes on radiation doses of the rectum and bladder during radiotherapy in patients with prostate cancer
Background: In prostate radiotherapy, changes in the volume of the bladder and rectum can influence dose delivery. In this study, cone-beam computerised tomography (CBCT) imaging was used to assess volumetric, and corresponding radiation dosimetric changes, for the bladder and rectum in patients with prostate cancer treated using VMAT. Materials and Methods: Treatment planning computed tomograp...
متن کاملField Functions for Blending Range Controls on Soft Objects
This paper proposes new field functions that have adjustable inner radius and outer radius of influence. Incorporating the proposed field functions with soft object modeling, soft blending, Ricci’s super-ellipsoid blends, Perlin’s set operations, and R-functions, etc. can have blending range controls by adjusting the inner and the outer radii of influence of given field functions. As a result, ...
متن کاملThe Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment. Investigating the Influence of Blending on the Cepheid Distance Scale with Cepheids in the Large Magellanic Cloud
We investigate the influence of blending on the Cepheid distance scale. Blending leads to systematically low distances to galaxies observed with HST, and therefore to systematically high estimates of the Hubble constant H0. We select a sample of 43 long-period, large-amplitude Cepheids in the Large Magellanic Cloud, from the catalog recently released by the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experim...
