Batching Using Texture Atlases

Optimizing Draw Call Batching Using Transient Data-Guided Texture Atlases

Rendering a large number of 2D textures in real-time requires reducing the overhead of a large number of draw calls on the CPU caused by binding different textures when drawing. Texture atlases are used to avoid switching textures by packing textures into one larger texture before rendering. Graphics hardware APIs limit the size of a texture, so textures need to be partitioned into multiple atl...

How Batching via Texture Atlases Works

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...

Warped Textures

This paper introduces an implicit representation of the u;v texture mapping. Instead of using the traditional explicit u;v mapping coordinates, a non-distorted piecewise embedding of the triangular mesh is created, on which the original texture is remapped, yielding warped textures. This creates an effective atlas of the mapped triangles and provides a compact encoding of the texture mapping.

Segmenting Hippocampus from 7.0 Tesla MR Images by Combining Multiple Atlases and Auto-Context Models

In investigation of neurological diseases, accurate measurement of hippocampus is very important for differentiating inter-subject difference and subtle longitudinal change. Although many automatic segmentation methods have been developed, their performance can be limited by the poor image contrast of hippocampus in the MR images, acquired from either 1.5T or 3.0T scanner. Recently, the emergen...
