Humans perceive the three-dimensional structure of the world with apparent ease. However,
despite all of the recent advances in computer vision research, the dream of having a …

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 …

In this paper we present a set of efficient image based rendering methods capable of
rendering multiple frames per second on a PC. The first method warps Sprites with Depth …

A significant part of future microprocessor real estate will be dedicated to 12 or 13 caches.
These on-chip caches will heavily impact processor performance, power dissipation, and …

We present a fundamental procedure for instant rendering from the radiance equation.
Operating directly on the textured scene description, the very efficient and simple algorithm …

A pair of rendered images and tbek Z-buffers contain almost all of the information necessary
tore-render from nearby viewpoints. For the small changes in viewpoint that occur in a …

This paper presents how the image-based rendering technique ofview dependent texture-
mapping (VDTM) can be efficiently implementedusing projective texture mapping, a feature …

This paper introduces a new type of medium, called a video texture, which has qualities
somewhere between those of a photograph and a video. A video texture provides a …

Modeling and rendering of natural scenes with thousands of plants poses a number of
problems. The terrain must be modeled and plants must be distributed throughout it in a …

Virtual reality head-mounted displays (VR HMDs) are attracting users with the promise of full
sensory immersion in virtual environments. Creating the illusion of immersion for a near-eye …
