Real-Time Rendering

In this paper we propose a novel and efficient rasterization-based approach for direct rendering of isosurfaces. Our method exploits the capabilities of task and mesh shader pipelines to identify subvolumes containing potentially visible isosurface geometry, and to efficiently extract primitives which are consumed on the fly by the rasterizer.

In previous work, the detection of cracks is based purely on their color offsets. We replace the original material colors by a geometry-based artificial coloring, which allows for crack detection even in the presence of severe radiometric disturbances that would otherwise introduce false positive matches.

In Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) are a common model representation for export, simulation and visualization. In this paper, we present a direct rendering method for trimmed NURBS models based on their parametric description.

Modern virtual reality simulations require a constant high-frame rate from the rendering engine. They may also require very low latency and stereo images.

We propose several techniques for latency reduction in real-time rendering in the context of virtual reality applications.3D Image Warping and Multi-Frame Rate Rendering Techniques
