Visualized data often have dubious origins and quality. Di erent forms of uncertainty and
errors are also introduced as the data are derived, transformed, interpolated, and nally …

Management of the communications among a set of concurrent processes arises in many
applications and is a central concern in parallel computing. In this paper we introduce …

Thoroughly revised, this third edition focuses on modern techniques used to generate
synthetic three-dimensional images in a fraction of a second. With the advent of …

A novel scene reconstruction technique is presented, different from previous approaches in
its ability to cope with large changes in visibility and its modeling of intrinsic scene color and …

With contributions by Michael Ashikhmin, Michael Gleicher, Naty Hoffman, Garrett Johnson,
Tamara Munzner, Erik Reinhard, Kelvin Sung, William B. Thompson, Peter Willemsen, Brian …

Several existing volume rendering algorithms operate by factoring the viewing
transformation into a 3D shear parallel to the data slices, a projection to form an intermediate …

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

Implicit surfaces offer special effects animators, graphic designers, CAD engineers, graphics
students, and hobbyists a new range of capabilities for the modeling of complex geometric …

The goal of image synthesis is to create, using the computer, a visual experience that is
identical to what a viewer would experience when viewing a real environment. Radiosity …

Visualization and analysis tools, techniques, and algorithms have undergone a rapid
evolution in recent decades to accommodate explosive growth in data size and complexity …
