Visualization of Minkowski Operations by Computer Graphics Techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the problem of visualizing 3D objects deened as a Minkowski addition or subtraction of elementary objects. It is shown that such visualizations can be obtained by using techniques from computer graphics such as ray tracing and Constructive Solid Geometry. Applications of the method are found in solid modelling and shape description.

A Framework for Information Visualization Spreadsheets
Information has become interactive. Information visualization is the design and creation of interactive graphic depictions of information by combining principles in the disciplines of graphic design, cognitive science, and interactive computer graphics. As the volume and complexity of the data increases, users require more powerful visualization tools that allow them to more effectively explore...
متن کاملVisual Exploration for Parameter Studies of Industrial CT Dataset Series
This paper proposes comparison and visualization techniques to carry out parameter studies for the special application area of dimensional measurement using 3D X-ray computed tomography (ICT). A dataset series is generated by scanning a specimen multiple times by varying parameters of an industrial CT device. A high resolution series is explored using our multi-planar reformating (MPR) based ex...
متن کاملA Survey of Visualization Methods for Special Relativity
This paper provides a survey of approaches for special relativistic visualization. Visualization techniques are classified into three categories: Minkowski spacetime diagrams, depictions of spatial slices at a constant time, and virtual camera methods that simulate image generation in a relativistic scenario. The paper covers the historical outline from early hand-drawn visualizations to state-...

متن کاملHardware-Accelerated Visualization of Time-Varying 2D and 3D Vector Fields by Texture Advection via Programmable Per-Pixel Operations
We present hardware-accelerated texture advection techniques to visualize the motion of particles in steady or time-varying vector fields given on Cartesian grids. We propose an implementation of 2D texture advection which exploits advanced and programmable texture fetch and per-pixel blending operations on an nVidia GeForce 3. For 3D vector field visualization, we present an algorithm for SGI’...
