We present an extension to common realtime toon/cel-shading rendering techniques for treating reflective and transparent surfaces in a 3D toon-shading environment. Our approach takes advantage of multi texturing hardware and simple fragment and vertex shader programs. This allows a broad usage on todays gaming platforms.

In this paper we present a hardware accelerated alternative for the accumulation buffer. Multiple frames are accumulated in a hierarchical way, using texturing and programmable graphics hardware. The new algorithm has significant advantages over existing approaches and can be implemented on almost any recent consumer level graphics hardware architecture.

Lithium, with its high theoretical specific capacity and lowest electrochemical potential, has been recognized as the ultimate negative electrode material for next-generation lithium-based high-energy-density batteries. However, a key challenge that has yet to be overcome is the inferior reversibility of Li plating and stripping, typically thought to be related to the uncontrollable morphology ...

3D reconstruction pipelines using structure-from-motion and multi-view stereo techniques are today able to reconstruct impressive, large-scale geometry models from images but do not yield textured results. Current texture creation methods are unable to handle the complexity and scale of these models. We therefore present the first comprehensive texturing framework for large-scale, real-world 3D...

The friction coefficient is an important parameter in designing magnetic tape transports. We have introduced laser surface texturing to reduce the friction coefficient between guides and magnetic tape. The surface features enhance the formation of an air bearing and hence, reduce the friction coefficient. INTRODUCTION Lateral tape motion (LTM) is defined as the time-dependent motion of the tape...

Some of the important technical characteristics of photogrammetric system are the speed of 3D acquisition, automation and possibility for smart operating. Using structured and coded light allows to solve correspondence problem fast, robustly and accurate. And applying of PC-controlled structured light provides a possibility to make a step to highly automated and intellectual photogrammetric sys...

This paper focuses on anti-reflective coatings monocrystalline silicon solar cells and the impact of front surface texturing. The reference wavelength is =700 nm, with its optimum refractive index (n = 3.7838) a reflectivity 33%. calculations were made basis layer thickness values indices that allow phase amplitude conditions chosen to be respected, namely (MgF2) (SiOxNy), (SiOx), (SiNx:H). Num...

The increasing number of people around the world suffering from chewing disorders necessitates design foods adapted to their needs. Glycation could be considered as one possible texturing methods. This chemical reaction alters texture food products by changing macromolecular structure. However, there is no consensus on its effects texture. In this study, gelatin used a model medium study effect...
