Abstract Global Illumination of Glossy Environments Using Wavelets and Importance y (2008)

Per H. Christensen, Eric J. Stollnitz, David H. Salesin, Tony D. Derose

We show how importance-driven refinement and a wavelet basis can be combined to provide an efficient solution to the global illumination problem with glossy and diffuse reflections. Importance is...

An Intuitive Approach to Geometric Continuity for Parametric Curves and Surfaces. (2002)

DeRose, Tony D., Barsky, Brian A.

This report defines the nth order geometric continuity for parametric curves and surfaces, and derived the Beta constraints that are necessary and sufficient for it. Derivation of the Beta...

An Adaptive Subdivision Method with Crack Prevention for Rendering Beta-Spline Objects. (1998)

Barsky,Brian A., DeRose,Tony D., Dippe,Mark D.

Adaptive subdivision is a method of creating polygonal approximations to spline surfaces. An adaptive subdivision algorithm takes an input a spline surface and a tolerance epsilon, and outputs a...

Near-Optimal Speedup of Graphics Algorithms Using Multigauge Parallel Computers. (1998)

DeRose, Tony D., Snyder, Lawrence, Yang, Chyan

A multigauge computer can have its datapath split into independent datapaths that execute operations on small data concurrently. This paper explains how certain forms of multigauge processing can be...

Multiresolution Analysis for Surfaces of Arbitrary Topological Type (1997)

Tony D. Derose, Michael Lounsbery, Joe Warren

Multiresolution analysis provides a useful and efficient tool for representing shape and analyzing features at multiple levels of detail. Although the technique has met with considerable success when...

Multiresolution Analysis for Surfaces of Arbitrary Topological Type (1997)

Michael Lounsbery, Tony D. Derose, Joe Warren

Multiresolution analysis and wavelets provide useful and efficient tools for representing functions at multiple levels of detail. Wavelet representations have been used in a broad range of...

Multiresolution Analysis for Surfaces of Arbitrary Topological Type (1997)

Michael Lounsbery, Tony D. Derose, Joe Warren

this article, we present a new class of wavelets, based on subdivision surfaces, that radically extends the class of representable functions. Whereas previous two-dimensional methods were restricted...

Global Illumination of Glossy Environments using Wavelets and Importance (1996)

Per H. Christensen, Eric J. Stollnitz, David H. Salesin, Tony D. Derose

We show how importance-driven refinement and a wavelet basis can be combined to provide an efficient solution to the global illumination problem with glossy and diffuse reflections. Importance is...

Wavelets for Computer Graphics: A Primer, part 1 (1995)

Eric J. Stollnitz, Tony D. Derose, David H. Salesin

Wavelets are a mathematical tool for hierarchically decomposing functions. They allow a function to be described in terms of a coarse overall shape, plus details that range from broad to narrow....
