Ray tracing has long been a method of choice for off‐line rendering, but traditionally was too
slow for interactive use. With faster hardware and algorithmic improvements this has recently …

We present a system for accurate real-time mapping of complex and arbitrary indoor scenes
in variable lighting conditions, using only a moving low-cost depth camera and commodity …

Lightweight and high heat conductive solid structures are playing important role in various
fields of engineering. To maximize the design performance for such structures, we …

Real-time or online 3D reconstruction has wide applicability and receives further interest
due to availability of consumer depth cameras. Typical approaches use a moving sensor to …

We address the fundamental challenge of scalability for real-time volumetric surface
reconstruction methods. We design a memory efficient, hierarchical data structure for …

Recently a breakthrough has occurred in graphics hardware: fixed function pipelines have
been replaced with programmable vertex and fragment processors. In the near future, the …

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

For almost two decades researchers have argued that ray tracing will eventually become
faster than the rasterization technique that completely dominates todays graphics hardware …

When you think about how far and fast computer science has progressed in recent years, it's
not hard to conclude that a seven-year old handbook may fall a little short of the kind of …

In the past few years, there have been key advances in the three main approaches to the
visualization of volumetric data: isosurfacing, slicing and volume rendering, which together …
