چکیده
Shadows provide important visual hints about the spatial relationship between objects. Shadow volumes are one way to generate sophisticated shadows for use in real time environments. This paper focuses on the geometric aspects which are involved in the creation of the shadow volume. Speed up techniques like shaders and dual space approaches for silhouette determination are discussed. Finally the application of the described methods in a software for shadow profile calculation is explained.

Incorporation of thermal shadows into real-time infrared three- dimensional image generation
In the infrared spectrum, two contributions to shadows exist: one part is reflective shadows resulting from occlusion of instantly reflected infrared rays, and the other part is thermal (IR) shadows occurring through occlusion of irradiance in the past. The realization of thermal shadows requires a thermal balance calculation in four-dimensions (three-dimensional geometry in one-dimensional tim...
متن کاملHardware Accelerated Soft Shadows using Penumbra Quads
Shadow mapping is a commonly used technique for generating hard shadows in real time. However, existing shadow map based algorithms cannot render full soft shadows penumbras onto arbitrary dynamic geometry by utilizing only consumer level programmable graphics hardware. In this paper we introduce a new fully hardware accelerated penumbra map algorithm which stores additional penumbra informatio...
متن کاملShadows for Infrared Scene Generation
In the infrared spectrum, two contributions to shadows exist: one part are reflective shadows resulting from occlusion of instantly reflected infrared rays, and the other part are thermal shadows occurring through occlusion of irradiance in the past. The realization of thermal shadows requires a thermal balance calculation in 4D (3D geometry in 1D time) which is computational expensive, and the...
متن کاملAutomatic generation of consistent shadows for augmented reality
In the context of mixed reality, it is difficult to simulate shadow interaction between real and virtual objects when only an approximate geometry of the real scene and the light source is known. In this paper, we present a realtime rendering solution to simulate colour-consistent virtual shadows in a real scene. The rendering consists of a three-step mechanism: shadow detection, shadow protect...
متن کاملA Survey of Real-time Soft Shadows Algorithms
Recent advances in GPU technology have produced a shift in focus for real-time rendering applications, whereby improvements in image quality are sought in addition to raw polygon display performance. Rendering effects such as antialiasing, motion blur and shadow casting are becoming commonplace and will likely be considered indispensable in the near future. The last complete and famous survey o...
