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 …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) radiative transfer modeling of the transport and interaction
of radiation through earth surfaces is challenging due to the complexity of the landscapes as …

Tactile sensing has seen a rapid adoption with the advent of vision-based tactile sensors.
Vision-based tactile sensors provide high resolution, compact and inexpensive data to …

Supported with code examples and the authors' real-world experience, this book offers the
first guide to engine design and rendering algorithms for virtual globe applications like …

We present RayCore, a mobile ray-tracing hardware architecture. RayCore facilitates high-
quality rendering effects, such as reflection, refraction, and shadows, on mobile devices by …

With the ever increasing resolution of scanned elevation models, geometry throughput on
the GPU is becoming a severe performance limitation in 3D terrain rendering. In this paper …

Global illumination provides a visual richness not achievable with the direct illumination
models used by most interactive applications. To generate global effects, numerous …

Displacement mapping is a powerful mechanism for adding fine to medium geometric
details over a 3D surface using a 2D map encoding them. While GPU rasterization supports …

We propose an efficient acceleration structure for real-time screen-space ray tracing. The
hybrid data structure represents the scene geometry by combining a bounding volume …

End-to-end latency in remote-rendering systems can reduce user task performance. This
notably includes aiming tasks on game streaming services, which are presently below the …
