The present book provides an introduction to using space-filling curves (SFC) as tools in
scientific computing. Special focus is laid on the representation of SFC and on resulting …

We present an elegant and simple to implement framework for performing out-of-core
visualization and view-dependent refinement of large terrain surfaces. Contrary to the trend …

We describe a general framework for out-of-core rendering and management of massive
terrain surfaces. The two key components of this framework are: view-dependent refinement …

This book is entirely about triangulations. With emphasis on computational issues, we
present the basic theory necessary to construct and manipulate triangulations. In particular …

In this paper we introduce 4–8 subdivision, a new scheme that generalizes the four-
directional box spline of class C 4 to surfaces of arbitrary topological type. The crucial …

Rendering high quality digital terrains at interactive rates requires carefully crafted
algorithms and data structures able to balance the competing requirements of realism and …

Adaptive mesh refinement and coarsening schemes are proposed for efficient computational
simulation of dynamic cohesive fracture. The adaptive mesh refinement consists of a …

Interactive visualization of large digital elevation models is of continuing interest in scientific
visualization, GIS, and virtual reality applications. Taking advantage of the regular structure …

We present a method to reduce mesh bias in dynamic fracture simulations using the finite
element method with adaptive insertion of extrinsic cohesive zone elements along element …

Level-of-detail (LOD) techniques have been studied for many years in computer graphics.
Research in this area has reached maturity and several effective tools in LOD modeling are …
