Recent developments in example-based texture synthesis for graphics rendering
نویسنده
چکیده
Textures are essential to allow real-time rendering of computer graphics. While they are easy to use and widely supported by current graphic frameworks, their creation still involves a large amount of manual work. Within the recent years algorithms have been developed that help artists automating common tasks in texture creation. Those tasks can involve texture creation, manipulation and ®tting them to certain constraints like tiling, size and spatial uniformity. Example-based Texture Synthesis describes the creation of arbitrarily large textures from a typically smaller and limited exemplar whilst maintaining certain user-de®ned constraints. In [We09] the authors presented a tutorial-fashioned introduction towards Texture Synthesis combined with a state of the art overview on current algorithms. The goal of this paper is to give a basic introduction, an overview over the recent developments in the area and a comparison of current state-of-the-art algorithms, determining upand downsides of each of the presented approaches.

Ray Tracing for Undergraduates
The computer graphics research community has recently renewed its interest in ray tracing, an image synthesis algorithm that simulates the interaction of light with an environment to generate highly realistic images (Figure 1). Recent hardware trends and algorithmic developments make the technique competitive with raster-based algorithms, and some suggest that ray tracing will begin to dominate...
متن کاملMC Slicing for Volume Rendering Applications
Recent developments in volume visualization using standard graphics hardware provide an effective and interactive way to understand and interpret the data. Mainly based on 3d texture mapping, these hardware-accelerated visualization systems often use a cell-projection method based on a tetrahedral decomposition of volumes usually sampled as a regular lattice. On the contrary, the method we addr...

The technique stores combined RGB and depth values in a parabolic 2D texture for every light field sample being acquire...
متن کاملAnisotropic 3D texture synthesis with application to volume rendering
We present a novel approach to improving volume rendering by using synthesized textures in combination with a custom transfer function. First, we use existing knowledge to synthesize anisotropic solid textures to fit our volumetric data. As input to the synthesis method, we acquire high quality images using a 12.1 megapixel camera. Next, we extend the volume rendering pipeline by creating a tra...
متن کاملEigen-Texture Method: Appearance Compression and Synthesis Based on a 3D Model
ÐImage-based and model-based methods are two representative rendering methods for generating virtual images of objects from their real images. However, both methods still have several drawbacks when we attempt to apply them to mixed reality where we integrate virtual images with real background images. To overcome these difficulties, we propose a new method, which we refer to as the Eigen-Textu...
