Image space occlusion culling is an useful approach to reduce the rendering load of large polygonal models. Like most large model techniques, it trades overhead costs with the rendering costs of the possibly occluded ...

In video see-through augmented reality, virtual objects are overlaid over images delivered by a digital video camera. One particular problem of this image mixing process is the fact that the visual appearance of the ...

The ultimate goal of augmented reality is to provide the user with a view of the surroundings enriched by virtual objects. Practically all augmented reality systems rely on standard real-time rendering methods for generating ...

The analysis of volumetric data is a crucial part in the visualization pipeline, since it determines the features in a volume dataset and henceforth, also its rendering parameters. Unfortunately, volume analysis can also ...

The graphical overlay of additional medical information over the patient during a surgical procedure has long been considered one of the most promising applications of augmented reality. While many experimental systems for ...

Visual computing addresses various aspects of the processing of image data. These aspects include the full visual computing pipeline starting from data acquisition, via image processing, the graphical representation of the ...
