چکیده

Recently, computer graphics have been used to simulate natural phenomena, such as clouds, fire, and ocean waves. This paper focuses on the evolution of clouds and proposes a simulation method for dynamic clouds. The method makes use of the cellular automaton for calculating the density distribution of clouds which varies over time. By using the cellular automaton, the distribution can be obtained with only a small amount of computation since the dynamics of clouds are expressed by several simple transition rules. The proposed method is applied to animations of outdoor scenes to demonstrate its usefulness.

A Method for Modeling Clouds Based on Atmospheric Fluid Dynamics

The simulation of natural phenomena such as clouds, smoke, fire and water is one of the most important research areas in computer graphics. In particular, clouds play an important role in creating images of outdoor scenes. The proposed method is based on the physical simulation of atmospheric fluid dynamics which characterizes the shape of clouds. To take account of the dynamics, we used a meth...

A Cellular Automaton Based Algorithm for Mobile Sensor Gathering

In this paper we proposed a Cellular Automaton based local algorithm to solve the autonomously sensor gathering problem in Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks (MWSN). In this problem initially the connected mobile sensors deployed in the network and goal is gather all sensors into one location. The sensors decide to move only based on their local information. Cellular Automaton (CA) as dynamical sy...

Real-time Simulation of Dynamic Clouds Based On Cellular Automata

There are plenty of applications about real-time simulation of realistic clouds. In this paper, the model of the clouds is established based on cellular automata and the method of how to deal with boundary grid points is developed. The efficiency is enhanced and some of the dynamic aspects of clouds are described by using promoted transition rules and introduced ascending air current. Multiple ...

Modelling Emergent Crowd Behaviour

Using a cellular automata approach we create models of people movement within buildings. Simple, local update rules capturing the movement of individuals are shown to produce realistic behaviour of crowds, that is, collections of individuals. We demonstrate how distinct crowd behaviour at constriction points is characterised using different update rules. These distinct rules are produced in an ...
