In recent years point-based geometry has gained increasing attention as an alternative
surface representation, both for efficient rendering and for flexible geometry processing of …

Shadow maps are probably the most widely used means for the generation of shadows,
despite their well known aliasing problems. In this paper we introduce perspective shadow …

In this paper we present sequential point trees, a data structure that allows adaptive
rendering of point clouds completely on the graphics processor. Sequential point trees are …

We propose a highly efficient hierarchical representation for point sampled geometry that
automatically balances sampling density and point coordinate quantization. The …

Elliptical weighted average (EWA) surface splatting is a technique for high quality rendering
of point‐sampled 3D objects. EWA surface splatting renders water‐tight surfaces of complex …

We present an adaptive scheme for the interactive animation and display of ocean waves far
from the coast. Relying on a procedural wave model, the method restricts computations to …

Resulting from changing climatic conditions, wildfires have become an existential threat
across various countries around the world. The complex dynamics paired with their often …

In the last years, point-based rendering has been shown to offer the potential to outperform
traditional triangle based rendering both in speed and visual quality when it comes to …

We present an efficient approach for end-to-end out-of-core construction and interactive
inspection of very large arbitrary surface models. The method tightly integrates visibility …

What is computer graphics and what are the conceptual tasks of research in this area? To
the average person the term still conveys more or less the design of-gos and the …
