Implicit Representation of Rough Surfaces

چکیده
Implicit surface techniques provide useful tools for modeling and rendering smooth surfaces. Deriving implicit formulations for fractal representations extends the scope of implicit surface techniques to rough surfaces. Linear fractals modeled by recurrent iterated function systems may be de ned implicitly using either geometric distance or escape time. Random fractals modeled using Perlin's noise function are already de ned implicitly when described as \hypertexture." Deriving new implicit formulae is only the rst step. Unlike their smooth counterparts, rough implicit surfaces require special rendering techniques that do not rely on continuous di erentiation of the de ning function. Preliminary experiments applying blending operations to rough surfaces have succeeded in an initial attepmt to overcome current challenges in natural modeling. The grafting of a stem onto the base of a linear fractal leaf continuously blends smooth detail into rough detail. The blend of two textured cylinders interpolates geometric bark across branching points in a tree.

Rough Surface Modeling Using Surface Growth
In this paper, we present a novel modeling method for synthesizing rough surfaces using discrete surface growth models. We employ a two-pass method. Initial point cluster data is generated using discrete simulation models derived from physical surface growth and evolution. Then, a final surface is reconstructed from the point clusters by a level set method. Since many rough surfaces in nature a...

We introduce a general implicit algorithm for finding a common element of the set of solutions of systems of equilibrium problems and the set of common fixed points of a sequence of nonexpansive mappings and a continuous representation of nonexpansive mappings. Then we prove the strong convergence of the proposed implicit scheme to the unique solution of the minimization problem on the so...
