POSTER: Topology Maps for Anisotropic Shading
نویسنده
چکیده
There are a number of materials, like cloth, hair and brushed metal that exhibit anisotropic reflectance properties. Several illumination models have been proposed for shading of such materials. The model by Poulin and Fournier describes how hair, silk and material which can be modeled by parallel cylinders, can be rendered. It has been proposed recently how the topology for this model can vary over the surface as would be the case for many surfaces like spheres and toruses. In this paper it is described how the shading can be visually enhanced by using a map for the topology. The result will be a much more visually pleasing rendering.

Analytic Tangent Irradiance Environment Maps for Anisotropic Surfaces
Environment-mapped rendering of Lambertian isotropic surfaces is common, and a popular technique is to use a quadratic spherical harmonic expansion. This compact irradiance map representation is widely adopted in interactive applications like video games. However, many materials are anisotropic, and shading is determined by the local tangent direction, rather than the surface normal. Even for v...
متن کاملGeometry of Fibers with Varying Topology
Anisotropic shading techniques can be used for materials like hair and silk. Such materials have a surface consisting of very small fibers having a main direction. Geometrically each fiber can be viewed as a cylinder. Poulin and Fournier proposed an illumination model for such materials using a flat topology only. In the paper a model using a varying topology is described. The varying topology ...
متن کاملPoster Abstract: Multidimensional Scaling Based Sensor Positioning Algorithms in Wireless Sensor Networks
Recently, a family of methods have been proposed for large scale ad hoc sensor networks that estimate the approximate positions of sensor nodes in the network. In the paper, we first investigate some situations that most existing sensor positioning methods fail to perform well. An example of such situations is that the topology of a sensor network is anisotropic. Then, we study the multidimensi...
متن کاملOn topological transitive maps on operator algebras
We consider the transitive linear maps on the operator algebra $B(X)$for a separable Banach space $X$. We show if a bounded linear map is norm transitive on $B(X)$,then it must be hypercyclic with strong operator topology. Also we provide a SOT-transitivelinear map without being hypercyclic in the strong operator topology.
متن کاملReal-time Realistic Illumination and Shading of Stratiform Clouds
Realistic rendering of clouds involves solving the complex interaction of light within the cloud and with its environment. Interactive methods achieve efficient cloud rendering by ignoring several lighting effects. However, these effects are visually important, and removing them strongly reduces realism. We present a novel approach for capturing the important effects of multiple anisotropic Mie...
