Real time 3D animation using progressive transmission
J. Greenberg,W. Kinsner +1 more
TL;DR: A new technique is proposed, which instead of focusing on compressing the rendered frames of the animation sequence, compresses and optimizes the original source scene data for streaming, and renders the 3D scene in real time on the client system.

A low-power geometric mapping co-processor for high-speed graphics application
S. Leeke,L. Maharatna +1 more
TL;DR: A low-power geometric mapping co-processor that can be used for high-performance graphics system and can carry out any single or a combination of transformations belonging to affine transformation family ranging from 1D to 3D is presented.

Contours and Contrast
TL;DR: In three novel algorithms inspired by unsharp masking, specialized local contrast enhancements are shown to overcome constraints of a limited dynamic range, overcome an achromatic palette, and to improve the rendering of 3D shapes and scenes.
Sampling Methods in Ray-Based Global Illumination
TL;DR: This dissertation presents a number of new sampling methods that attempt to address some of the shortcomings of existing global illumination algorithms, including comparatively low memory overhead, little precomputation, and the ability to sample all three terms of the direct lighting equation.

From a small formula to cyberworlds
TL;DR: Collative Shape Modeling Laboratory, which is a part of the Virtual Campus, is based on this hybrid function-based extension of VRML, developed to help students with their computer graphics assignments.

The TRON project
Ken Sakamura,Richard Sprague +1 more
TL;DR: The TRON computer architecture for the 1990s is intended to support the use of personal computers as communication machines and many ‘intelligent objects’ hooked into an HFDS (highly functional distributed system) to support various application needs.
