“…and the real manmade buildings, we need to use realistic image rendering technology including anti-aliasing, shading, illumination, shadow, material texture, blending and atomization techniques [14][15][16]. Photorealistic rendering directly affects the authenticity and visual effects of the scene, however, the realistic rendering and real-time rendering is two issues against each other.…”

The advances in the research of virtual roaming techniques in water conservancy works are reviewed. Main process to construct a 3D virtual environment for water conservancy works is introduced. Key techniques and the difficulties with their solutions in the application of virtual roaming techniques to water conservancy activities are analyzed and summarized. A development framework for building 3D virtual roaming system is presented to illustrate the application potentiality of virtual roaming techniques in computer aided system for water conservancy works. The methods for the visualization of complex water conservancy works environment is described in detail. Aspects like presentations of data with spatial dependence, virtual roaming in the terrain and geographical frame of reference and in time, interaction techniques are presented. An interactive virtual roaming system for the water conservancy work from China is used as an example to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the techniques discussed.

“…As much as we know, there are no continuation-based and Delaunay triangulation algorithms designed to parallel processing on graphics processing unit (GPU), in particular using compute unified device architecture (CUDA) and open computing language (OpenCL). In the category of space partitioning algorithms, we find some parallel implementations of the marching cubes (MCs) algorithm [10].Depending on the data input, MCs algorithms can be classified into three categories: volumetric datasets, level sets, and atom sets. Originally, the MCs algorithm was designed for extracting isosurfaces from medical volume datasets [11].…”

SUMMARYComputing the surface of a molecule (e.g., a protein) plays an important role in the analysis of its geometric structure as needed in the study of interactions between proteins, protein folding, protein docking, and so forth. There are a number of algorithms for the computation of molecular surfaces and their triangulations, but only a few take advantage of graphics processing unit computing. This paper describes a graphics processing unit-based marching cubes algorithm to triangulate molecular surfaces. In the end of the paper, a performance analysis of three implementations (i.e., serial CPU, CUDA, and OpenCL) of the marching cubes-based triangulation algorithm takes place as a way to realize beforehand how molecular surfaces can be rendered in real-time in the future.
