On the complexity of umbra and penumbra
Computing shadow boundaries is a di cult problem in the case of non-point light sources. A point is in the umbra if it does not see any part of any light source; it is in full light if it sees entirely all the light sources; otherwise, it is in the penumbra. While the common boundary of the penumbra and the full light is well understood, less is known about the boundary of the umbra. In this pa...
متن کاملLight Source Object Layered Penumbra Umbra
Shadows serve as e ective cues for a user to recognize spatial relations among objects in 3D space. However simple shadows typically used in 3D interfaces are often insu cient for the purpose, and rendering of shadows with real penumbra are not only too costly for interactive interfaces, but also do not enhance their capabilities as spatial cues. Our proposal, layered penumbra is a new interact...
متن کاملGenerating Shadows with an Umbra and Penumbra
An algorithm for generating shadows with an umbra and penumbra due to distributed light sources is presented. The method used is based on the inclusion of the shadow volumes in the object data processed by a depth-buffer visible surface computation. The standard depth-buffer data structure is modified to allow the handling of shadows with a depth-buffer hidden surface algorithm. The algorithm i...

متن کاملSupersonic Downflows in a Sunspot Light Bridge
We report the discovery of supersonic downflows in a sunspot light bridge using measurements taken with the spectropolarimeter on board the Hinode satellite. The downflows occur in small patches close to regions where the vector magnetic field changes orientation rapidly, and are associated with anomalous circular polarization profiles. An inversion of the observed Stokes spectra reveals veloci...
