ABSTRACT

A method of describing pictures is introduced. The equations, which describe the appearance of a picture, also form a purely functional program which can be used to compute the set of lines necessary to plot the picture on a graphical device. The method is illustrated by using it to describe the structure of one of the woodcuts of Maurits Escher.

Geometry-shader-based real-time voxelization and applications

This work proposes a new voxelization algorithm based on newly available GPU functionalities and designs several real-time applications to render complex lighting effects with the voxelization result. The voxelization algorithm can efficiently transform ...
