Abstract:We present a method of visualizing volume-sampled distance fields, taking advantage of hardware-acceleration of modern graphics hardware. Although conventional distance fields can represent only 2-manifold surfaces in a stable way, we have developed a technique of representing both manifold and non-manifold surfaces in a volume created by sampling a segmented distance field. The volumesampled distance fields can be visualized effectively with pre-integrated volume rendering by embedding the interpolating funct… Show more
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.
