Texture mapping for scientific visualization environments

TL;DR: A new formalism is proposed that enables to take into account textural features of the image in a very robust and selective way and permits visualization of these features so experts can efficiently supervise an image segmentation process based on texture analysis.

TL;DR: The paper describes the general characteristics of MUDI3 system which is a tool to interactively represent scalar and vectorial multidimensional fields and the main topics of scientific visualization research related to M UDI3 design are examined.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method and device for processing a cloud mask map is presented, which comprises the steps of obtaining the cloud mask layer to be mapped to a sky ball model; and executing texture mapping coordinate transformation on the cloud masks to obtain a cloud masks value at the horizontal height.

TL;DR: The authors propose the skinning method to reconstruct a Nurbs surface which models the explored surface, and the graphical technique of texture mapping which controls the appearing of the graphical primitive NURBSS.

TL;DR: Extensions of this algorithm in the areas of texture simulation and lighting models are described, including extensions of the parametrization of a patch which defines a coordinate system which is used as a key for mapping patterns onto the surface.

TL;DR: A method of using a texturing function to perform a small perturbation on the direction of the surface normal before using it in the intensity calculations yields images with realistic looking surface wrinkles without the need to model each wrinkle as a separate surface element.

TL;DR: This study presents methods for simulating a variety of different textures, previous methods of texturing are adapted by ray tracing, and some new methods forsimulating heterogeneous materials are presented.

TL;DR: Extensions of Ed Catmull's patch rendering algorithm in the areas of texture simulation and lighting models are described, which allows accurate computation of the surface.
