This paper describes the on-going development of a desktop virtual reality system which offers real-time user interaction and realistic physics-based animation of rigid objects. The system is built upon a graphical engine ...

In recent years, reverse engineering (RE) techniques have been developed for surface reconstruction from 3D scanned data. Typical sampling data, however, usually is large scale and contains unorganized points, thus leading ...

The documentation and presentation of 3D digital content is a critical but non-trivial task for the Cultural Heritage sector. Curators are often faced with the task of cataloguing every piece of heritage and maintaining ...

The 'beauty' of Clifford's Geometric Algebras is its ability to incorporate other algebras and it is the 'mother' algebra for all algebras. This paper introduces the advantage of using this algebra by combining and augmenting ...

Interactive downloading huge virtual scenes on Internet is always a challenging task of large scale DVE(Distributed Virtual Environment) systems. Along classical progressive transmission mechanism based on AOI (Area of ...

This volume contains the Project Papers presented at VSMM 2008, the 14th International Conference on Virtual Systems and Multimedia which took place on the 20 to 25 October 2008 in Limassol, Cyprus. The conference title ...

Many target detection problems involve objects where the primary variability in appearance is due to changes amongst characteristic configurations (as opposed to the systematic variability of object rotation or illumination ...

The notion of e-sample, as introduced by Amenta and Bern, has proven to be a key concept in the theory of sampled surfaces. Of particular interest is the fact that, if E is an e-sample of a smooth surface S for a suf ciently ...

VRML and X3D are the most widely adopted standards for interactive 3D content interchange. However, they are both designed around the common restricted functionality available in hardware graphics processors. Thus, most ...

In this paper, we present a subdivision-inspired scheme to construct generalized Sierpinski polyhedron. Unlike usual Sierpinski polyhedra construction schemes, which create either an infinite set of disconnected tetrahedra ...
