Automatic Generation and Non-Photorealistic Rendering of 2+1D Minkowski Diagrams
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a system is proposed which can automatically generate 2+1D Minkowski diagrams. We show how these spacetime diagrams reveal more aspects of special relativity than traditional Minkowski diagrams and can therefore further enhance the understanding of special relativity. The interactive system is based on Java3D and can be used as a widely applicable learning and teaching tool. Moreover, we adapt and extend non-photorealistic rendering techniques to improve the perceptibility of the diagrams.

Automatic Content-Aware Non-photorealistic Rendering of Images
Non-photorealistic rendering techniques work on image features and often manipulate a set of characteristics such as edges and texture to achieve a desired depiction of the scene. Most computational photography methods decompose an image using edge preserving filters and work on the resulting base and detail layers independently to achieve desired visual effects. We propose a new approach for c...
متن کاملA Method for Creating Mosaic Images Using Voronoi Diagrams
This paper proposes a non-photorealistic rendering method that creates an artistic effect called mosaicing. The proposed method converts images provided by the user into the mosaic images. Commercial image editing applications also provide a similar function. However, these applications often trade results for low-cost computing. It is desirable to create high quality images even if the computa...
متن کاملAutomatic non-photorealistic rendering through soft-shading removal: a colour-vision approach
This paper presents a non-photorealistic rendering algorithm that produces "stylised-style" images by removing the soft shading from the image and by giving objects extra definition through black outlines. The method of shading removal is based on a model of the architecture of the human colour vision system. Some image results are provided and the possible extension of the algorithm using a ba...
متن کاملLooking through the Eyes of the Painter: from Visual Perception to Non-photorealistic Rendering
In this paper we present a brief overview of the processing in the primary visual cortex, the multi-scale line/edge and keypoint representations, and a model of brightness perception. This model, which is being extended from 1D to 2D, is based on a symbolic line and edge interpretation: lines are represented by scaled Gaussians and edges by scaled, Gaussian-windowed error functions. We show tha...
متن کاملNon-Photorealistic Rendering of Plants and Trees
The rendering technique described in this work allows non-photorealistic rendering of plants and trees. Our method is based on the general method proposed by Barbara Meier in 1996. RL-Systems are used to model a tree, allowing the generation in a single step of both the tree geometry and the set of brush strokes needed for later rendering. It can be applied to traditional animation, and to proj...
