A process is presented for the creation of immersive highdynamic range 3D models from a pair of spherical images. The concept of applying a spherical Delauney triangulation to 3D model creation is introduced and a complete texturing solution is given.

Procedural solid texturing was introduced fourteen years ago, but has yet to find its way into consumer level graphics hardware for real-time operation. To this end, a new model is introduced that yields a parameterized function capable of synthesizing the most common procedural solid textures, specifically wood, marble, clouds and fire. This model is simple enough to be implemented in hardware...

This dissenation introduces a new method of creating computer graphics textures that is based on simulaling a biological model of pa11em formation known as reaction-diffusion. Applied mathematicians and biologistli have shown how simple reaction-diffusion systems can create pan ems of spots or stripes. Here we demonstr.lte that the range of patterns created by reaction-dtffusion can be greatly ...

We present an automatic method to recover high-resolution texture over an object by mapping detailed photographs onto its surface. Such high-resolution detail often reveals inaccuracies in geometry and registration, as well as lighting variations and surface reflections. Simple image projection results in visible seams on the surface. We minimize such seams using a global optimization that assi...

This paper presents a texture synthesis algorithm that was designed for the tile-less generation of large images of arbitrary size from small sample images. The synthesised texture shows features that are visually similar to the sample over a wide frequency range. The development of the algorithm aimed at achieving high quality results for a large range of natural textures, incorporation of the...

In this paper we present an optical simulation of light management in Cu(In,Ga)Se2 thin-film solar cells with reduced absorber layer thickness, with the goal of absorption enhancement in the absorber layer. The light management was achieved by texturing of the substrate layer, and the conformal growth of all the following layers was assumed. Two texturing shapes have been explored: triangular a...

Automated 3D modeling of building interiors is used in applications such as virtual reality and environment mapping. Texturing these models allows for photo-realistic visualizations of the data collected by such modeling systems. While data acquisition times for mobile mapping systems are considerably shorter than for static ones, their recovered camera poses often suffer from inaccuracies, res...

Recently, there have been several studies demonstrating that highly ordered nanoscale texturing can dramatically increase performance of applications such as light absorption in thin-film solar cells. However, those methods used to make the nanostructures are not compatible with large-scale fabrication. Here we demonstrate that a technique currently used in roll-to-roll processing to deposit un...

In modern oral maxillofacial surgery, long-term implant stability is intrinsically linked to the quality of osseointegration. While osseointegration capacity implants can be improved by modifying their surface properties, commonly used techniques, including sandblasting and acid etching, are stochastic processes offering virtually zero control uniformity reproducibility micro- nano-scale featur...
