Per-Pixel Extrusion Mapping

چکیده
Extruded shapes and patterns are widely used by graphic designers to increase the visual richness and realism of 3D models and virtual environments in general. However, the traditional approach that uses polygonal mesh is inappropriate for real-time rendering, in which, just a limited number of graphic primitives can be processed. Hence the interest of using per-pixel approaches. In this paper, we introduce a new imagebased technique for rendering extruded details and shapes. We use a single RGBA texture in which we store a binary shape, its Euclidean Distance Transform (EDT), and the two components of the EDT gradient. The rendering algorithm is based on a raytracing like procedure, performed in texture space. The use of the EDT allows skipping empty space and thus, minimizes the number of ray-tracing steps. Per-pixel extrusion mapping produces very convincing results, and runs at interactive frame rates.

Flood zonation mapping is one of the priorities for the soil and water management, which Remote Sensing (RS) capabilities are very applicable to this issue. The main objective of this research was study of accuracy of the Object oriented and Pixel based methods for flood zonation mapping in the Taleghan River basin. Therefore, the Sentinel 2A satellite image of the study area classified using s...
متن کاملPer-Pixel Displacement Mapping and Distance Maps
Based on a standard software ray-tracer with soft shadowing and glossy reflection capabilities, I present a per-pixel displacement mapping algorithm. This algorithm modifies the intersection routine already used for shadows and reflections and so they are preserved. The algorithm relies on a distance map, which along with a normal map for lighting information, can be generated for each point in...
متن کاملMultisampled Antialiasing of Per-pixel Geometry
Many algorithms exist which generate per-pixel geometry by selectively discarding fragments generated for a simple bounding geometry. On the other hand, multisampling support has become ubiquitous and is almost free in current graphics hardware. In this paper we leverage the ability of setting a pixel’s coverage mask in the pixel shader to make seemingly inherently pixel-based per-pixel geometr...

Introduction: Having accurate and up-to-date information on the status of land use and land cover change is a key point to protecting natural resources, sustainable agriculture management and urban development. Preparing the land cover and land use maps with traditional methods is usually time and cost consuming. Nowadays satellite imagery provides the possibility to prepare these maps in less ...
