We review the recent progress in the design of efficient algorithms for various problems in
geometric optimization. We present several techniques used to attack these problems, such …

Free-viewpoint image-based rendering (IBR) is a standing challenge. IBR methods combine
warped versions of input photos to synthesize a novel view. The image quality of this …

Advancements in graphics hardware have allowed development of hardware-accelerated
imaging displays. This article reviews techniques for real-time simulation of arbitrary visual …

Many applications in computer graphics require complex, highly detailed models. However,
the level of detail actually necessary may vary considerably. To control processing time, it is …

Eye-tracking applications are surveyed in a breadth-first manner, reporting on work from the
following domains: neuroscience, psychology, industrial engineering and human factors …

Level of detail (LOD) techniques are increasingly used by professional real-time developers
to strike the balance between breathtaking virtual worlds and smooth, flowing animation …

Recently, virtual reality (VR) technology has been widely used in medical, military,
manufacturing, entertainment, and other fields. These applications must simulate different …

Advances in 3D scanning technologies have enabled the practical creation of meshes with
hundreds of millions of polygons. Traditional algorithms for display, simplification, and …

Two important tools for manipulating polygonal models are simplification and repair and we
present voxel-based methods for performing both of these tasks. We describe a method for …

There are a variety of application areas in which there is a need for simplifying complex
polygonal surface models. These models often have material properties such as colors …
