Automating Terrain Texturing in Real-Time Using a Rule-Based Approach

Real-Time Procedural Solid Texturing

Shortly after its introduction in 1985, procedural solid texturing became a must-have tool in the production-quality graphics of the motion-picture industry. Now, over fifteen years later, we are finally able to provide this feature for the real-time consumer graphics used in videogames and virtual environments. A texture atlas is used to create a 2-D texture map of the 3-D solid texture coordi...

An Approach for Real-Time Control of Enterprise Processes in Manufacturing using a Rule-Based System

A PRACTICAL APPROACH TO REAL-TIME DYNAMIC BACKGROUND GENERATION BASED ON A TEMPORAL MEDIAN FILTER

In many computer vision applications, segmenting and extraction of moving objects in video sequences is an essential task. Background subtraction, by which each input image is subtracted from the reference image, has often been used for this purpose. In this paper, we offer a novel background-subtraction technique for real-time dynamic background generation using color images that are taken fro...

A Knowledge-based Approach for Automating a Design Method for Concurrent and Real-Time Systems

paper describes a knowledge-based approach to automate CODARTS, a software design method for concurrent and real-time systems. The approach uses multiple paradigms to represent knowledge embedded within CODARTS. Semantic data modeling provides the means to model specifications and related designs. A specification meta-model enables automated inferences about the presence of semantic concepts wi...

Real-time Terrain Mapping

We present an interactive, real-time mapping system for digital elevation maps (DEMs), which allows Earth scientists to map and therefore understand the deformation of the continental crust at length scales of 10m to 1000 km. Our system visualizes the surface of the Earth as a 3D surface generated from a DEM, with a color texture generated from a registered multispectral image and vector-based ...
