Recently, several external memory techniques have been developed for a wide variety of
graphics and visualization problems, including surface simplification, volume rendering …

This survey has explained a number of concepts on terrains, and some algorithms for
various computations. The emphasis has been on TIN algorithms, because the TIN model …

The authors introduce the contour spectrum, a user interface component that improves
qualitative user interaction and provides real-time exact quantification in the visualization of …

For 2D or 3D meshes that represent a continuous function to the reals, the contours—or
isosurfaces-of a specified value are an important way to visualize it. To find such contours, a …

We define the Morse-Smale complex of a Morse function over a 3-manifold as the overlay of
the descending and ascending manifolds of all critical points. In the generic case, its 3 …

We present a multiple classifier system for model-free tracking. The tasks of detection
(finding the object of interest), recognition (distinguishing similar objects in a scene), and …

This paper describes an algorithm to extract adaptive and quality 3D meshes directly from
volumetric imaging data. The extracted tetrahedral and hexahedral meshes are extensively …
