Planet Map Generation by Tetrahedral Subdivision

Lecture Notes in Computer Science
This ensures planet maps without discontinuities caused by mapping a flat map onto a sphere. We compare the method to other map-generator algorithms. ...
We present a method for generating pseudo-random, zoomable planet maps for games and art. The method is based on spatial subdivision using tetrahedrons. ...

Two tetraedron theorems

Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society
The set of six contacts of six edges of a tetrahedron with a sphere divides naturally into threes in four ways ; for example, 12, 13, 14; 23, 34, 42, three in one face and three on edges having the opposite ...
We wish to show, for example, that three angles at A x made by rays A X B, A X C, and A X D are equal respectively to three angles formed at B x by rays drawn to A, D, and C. ...

Manifold surface reconstruction of an environment from sparse Structure-from-Motion data
2013
Computer Vision and Image Understanding
The previous attempts to solve this problem are currently very limited: the surface is non-manifold or has zero genus, the experiments are done on small scenes or objects using a few dozens of images. ...
From the computational standpoint, it would be interesting to avoid dense stereo and to generate a surface directly from the sparse cloud of 3D points and their visibility information provided by Structure-from-Motion ...

Real-time shell space rendering of volumetric geometry
2006
Proceedings of the 4th international conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques in Australasia and Southeast Asia - GRAPHITE '06
To minimize the number of ray tracing steps, a 3D distance map is used for skipping empty space in the shell volume. The shell volume is defined by a pre-computed tetrahedra mesh. ...
The shell space is a layer of variable thickness on top or below the polygonal mesh. The technique computes view ray shell geometry intersections in a pixel shader. ...
Right: Ray tracing using a 3D distance map. The spheres visualize the maximum distances found in the distance map at the sampling positions. ...

Area and volume coherence for efficient visualization of 3D scalar functions
1990
Proceedings of the 1990 workshop on Volume visualization - VVS '90
Ray tracing can also be used to render densities in irregular volumes, but can be expensive, and does not take advantage of coherence within the volumes. ...
The scalar function is interpolated between values defined at the vertices, and the polyhedra are sorted in depth before compositing. ...

Sample-Based Cameras for Feed Forward Reflection Rendering

IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics
The main techniques for rendering reflections are ray tracing and environment mapping. Ray tracing searches for the scene point seen at each pixel. Purdue University. West Fig. 2. ...
Although accurate and general, ray tracing is too slow for interactive graphics because of the inefficient search for the inverse mapping. ...
Reflections are rendered on each reflector using the four SBCs at the vertices of the tetrahedron that contains the current viewpoint. ...

Acceleration structures are mandatory for ray-tracing applications, allowing to cast a large number of rays per second. ...
