Selective Culling of Discontinuity Lines

چکیده
In recent years discontinuity meshing has become an important part of mesh-based solutions to the global illumination problem. Application of this technique accurately locates all radiance function discontinuities in the scene and is essential for limiting visual artifacts. In an environment containing m edges there are O(m) D and D discontinuities. With a typical scene this can result in many thousands of discontinuity lines being processed. We review existing methods for reducing these lines and introduce an improved, perception based metric for determining which discontinuities are important and which can be safely ignored. Our results show that a 50% or more reduction in the number of discontinuity lines can be achieved with a corresponding reduction in general mesh complexity, with little or no perceptible change to the rendered result.

Hierarchical Techniques for Visibility Computations
Visibility computation is crucial for computer graphics from its very beginning. The first visibility algorithms aimed to determine visible lines or surfaces in a synthesized image of a 3D scene. Nowadays there is a plethora of visibility algorithms for various applications. The thesis proposes a taxonomy of visibility problems based on the dimension of the problem-relevant line set, i.e. set o...

Model of Selective and Non-Selective Management of Badgers (Meles meles) to Control Bovine Tuberculosis in Badgers and Cattle
Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) causes substantial economic losses to cattle farmers and taxpayers in the British Isles. Disease management in cattle is complicated by the role of the European badger (Meles meles) as a host of the infection. Proactive, non-selective culling of badgers can reduce the incidence of disease in cattle but may also have negative effects in the area surrounding culls that h...

متن کاملCharacterisation and pattern of culling in Holstein-Friesian dairy herds in Khorasan Razavi Province, Northeast of Iran
To describe proportion and pattern of culling in commercial dairy herds of Khorasan Razavi Province, this survey was carried out from 21st March 2008 to 20th March 2009 in 15 industrialized dairy herds. For each culled cow data related to parity at culling, last calving to culling interval and primary reason for culling were recorded. Annual herd exit rate was 20.9%. Out of a total of 652 culle...
