Real-time computer graphics simulation of blockplay in early childhood [PDF]
Observation of young children is commonplace in educational settings. For trainee practitioners however, gaining access at convenient times can be difficult. Even then, small snapshots of observable activity can only ever be captured. We describe the design and development of a cross-platform software application which can be used to support ...

Reflection Techniques in Real-Time Computer Graphics
Reflections have a long history in computer graphics, as they are important for conveying a sense of realism as well as depth and proportion. Their implementations come with a multitude of difficulties, and each solution typically has various trade-offs.

A general purpose, expandable processor for real-time computer graphics [PDF]
A class of critical computer requirements for real-time scan T.V. computer graphics is examined in relation to commercially available CPU architectures. Finding general purpose processors not suited, a new processor is proposed which is designed around the concept of "instruction set partitioning." In this design, special hardware-implemented ...

Real-time robot motion planning using rasterizing computer graphics hardware [PDF]
We present a real-time robot motion planner that is fast and complete to a resolution. The technique is guaranteed to find a path if one exists at the resolution, and all paths returned are safe. The planner can handle any polyhedral geometry of robot and obstacles, including disjoint and highly concave unions of ...

Reducing redundancy of real time computer graphics in mobile systems [PDF]
The goal of this thesis is to propose novel and effective techniques to eliminate redundant computations that waste energy and are performed in real-time computer graphics applications, with special focus on mobile GPU micro-architecture. Improving the energy-efficiency of CPU/GPU systems is not only key to enlarge their battery life, but also allows ...

FOVO: A flexible real-time computer graphics rendering process [PDF]
Real-time rendering processes in computer graphics systems are often designed around the principles of linear projection (LP), that is, simulating linear light rays passing through 3D space and intersecting a two-dimensional surface in order to create an image.

Real-Time Application of Computer Graphics Improvement Techniques Using Hyperspectral Textures in a Virtual Reality System [PDF]
In virtual reality technology, it is necessary to develop improvements and apply new techniques that allow rapid progress and innovative development. Nowadays, virtual reality devices have not yet demonstrated the great potential they could develop in the future. One main reason for this is the lack of precision to represent three-dimensional scenarios

Real-time Simulation Methods for Robots with a Flexible Arm Based on Computer Graphics Technology [PDF]
A robot with a flexible arm that is controlled with a remotely operated water-pressure mechanism has been developed for dismantling objects that are heavily contaminated by radioactive materials during decommissioning of nuclear power plants. The objective of this research is to develop a process planning support system and method that can improve the ...

Use of a Real-Time Computer Graphics System in Analysis and Forecasting [PDF]
Abstract Real-time computer graphics systems are being introduced into weather stations throughout the United States. A sample of student forecasters used such a system to solve specific specialized forecasting problems. Results suggest that for some types of problems, involving timing, their forecasts were better than those made by forecasters who did
