: A new image-based rendering method, based on the light field and Lumigraph system, allows illumination to be changed interactively. It does not try to recover or use any geometr...
We present new techniques for computing illumination from non-diffuse luminaires and scattering from non-diffuse surfaces. The methods are based on new closed-form expressions d...
Previous parametric representations of smooth genus-zero surfaces require a collection of abutting patches (e.g. splines, NURBS, recursively subdivided polygons). We introduce a s...

We show how to extract a contour line (or isosurface) from quadratic elements—specifically from quadratic triangles and tetrahedra. We also devise how to transform the resultin...

Given a nonsingular compact two-manifold F without boundary, we present methods for establishing a family of surfaces which can approximate F so that each approximant is ambient i...
