Simplification algorithm of 3D model is basic, important technology that can reduce the redundancy of the expanding 3D shape data, and that can apply to various applications. The QEM method is given as an algorithm to simplify data while preserving the feature of 3D model. The QEM method is one of the algorithms with the best balance between details and the simplification speed after the vertex is degenerated. However, because the QEM method is a successive algorithm that can delete only one edge at a time, it takes time for simplification of the huge 3D models. PC cluster is one of the environment that can enlarge computational resources with uniting many PCs. It is constructed easily and used generally. In this paper, it proposes the method made parallel by extending the QEM method, and using the PC cluster. With the PC cluster constructed by typical windows PCs, simplification high-speed by this method becomes possible while maintaining the feature of 3D model.
This paper proposes a flexible example-based color transfer system, providing an automatic mode and an advanced mode, for novices and expert users, respectively. The experimental results show that the proposed color transfer system not only can introduce natural results with simple operation by novices in the first use, but also can produce various desired results by users with short-term learning.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
