We present an efficient algorithm for approximating huge general volumetric data sets, i.e. the data is given over arbitrarily shaped volumes and consists of up to millions of samples. The method is based on cubic trivariate ...

In this paper, we propose an approach for rendering diffuse and glossy reflections using environment maps. This approach is geared towards VR applications, where realism and fast rendering is important. We exploit certain ...

In the talk, we give a brief overview of the research done in the Computer Graphics Group and the Graphics- Optics-Vision Group of the Max-Planck-Institut für Informatik in the area of 3D Image Analysis and Synthesis. In ...

Implementing algorithms that are based on dynamic triangle meshes often requires updating internal datastructures as soon as the connectivity of the mesh changes. The design of a class hierarchy that is able to deal with ...
