UBVH: Unified Bounding Volume and Scene Geometry Representation for Ray Tracing
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Bounding volume hierarchies (BVHs) are currently the most common data structure used to accelerate ray tracing. The existing BVH methods distinguish between the bounding volume representation associated with the interior BVH nodes and the scene geometry representation associated with leaf nodes.

Barycentric Coordinates as Interpolants
CoRR, 2013 Barycentric coordinates are frequently used as interpolants to shade computer graphics images. A simple equation transforms barycentric coordinates from screen space into eye space in order to undo the perspective transformation and permit accurate interpolative shading of texture maps. This technique is amenable to computation using a block-normalized

Real‐Time Conformal Maps and Parameterizations
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We present a simple algorithm to conformally map between two simple and bounded planar domains based on the concept of harmonic measure, which is a conformal invariant. With suitable preprocessing, the algorithm is fast enough to compute all possible conformal maps (having three real degrees of freedom) between the two domains in real time in

Controllable Intrinsic Surface Pattern Generation Using Slime Mold Simulations
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Surface‐based pattern simulations have proven valuable for texture design and scientific visualization, but existing methods face several limitations. Most simulations either target a narrow range of pattern types (e.g. spots, branching) or support a broad range of patterns at the cost of time‐consuming parameter tuning.

Interior Distance Using Barycentric Coordinates [PDF]
Computer Graphics Forum, 2009 AbstractThis paper introduces a framework for defining a shape‐aware distance measure between any two points in the interior of a surface mesh. Our framework is based on embedding the surface mesh into a high‐dimensional space in a way that best preserves boundary distances between vertices of the mesh, performing a mapping of the mesh volume into this

Basis Networks: Learning basis functions for free‐form triangulations
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We present a framework for learning compactly supported basis functions that define tangent continuous surfaces based on coarse irregular triangle meshes. The basis functions are represented as MLPs. Smoothness of the basis functions is achieved by using the values of Loop basis functions as the parameterization of the surface.

Fast Injective Mesh Parameterization via Beltrami Coefficient Prolongation
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We present a highly efficient and robust method for free boundary injective parameterization of disk‐like triangle meshes with low isometric distortion. Harmonic function–based approaches, grounded in a strong mathematical framework, are widely employed.

Volume Quantization with Flexible Singularities for Hexahedral Meshing
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We present a novel algorithm for quantization and subsequent hexahedral mesh generation from seamless volumetric maps. Quantization is the process of choosing integers that represent the numbers of hexahedral elements to be placed in each region of the volume, and transforming the seamless map into an integer‐grid map matching that choice ...

Wasserstein barycentric coordinates [PDF]
ACM Transactions on Graphics, 2016 This article defines a new way to perform intuitive and geometrically faithful regressions on histogram-valued data. It leverages the theory of optimal transport, and in particular the definition of Wasserstein barycenters, to introduce for the first time the notion of barycentric coordinates for histograms.

Mesh Processing Non‐Meshes via Neural Displacement Fields
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Mesh processing pipelines are mature, but adapting them to newer non‐mesh surface representations—which enable fast rendering with compact file size—requires costly meshing or transmitting bulky meshes, negating their core benefits for streaming applications.
