Interactive Line Art Rendering of Freeform Surfaces

In recent years, synthetically created line art renderings have reached quality levels that are aesthetically pleasing. Moreover, the sketch based approach was found to be quite capable at conveying geometrical information in an intuitive manner. While a growing interest in this type of rendering method has yielded successful and appealing results, the developed techniques were, for the most part, too slow to be embedded in real time interactive display. This paper presents a line art rendering method for freeform polynomial and rational surfaces that is capable of achieving real time and interactive display. A careful preprocessing stage that combines an a-priori construction of line art strokes with proper classification of these strokes, allows one to significantly alleviate the computational cost, in real time, of the sketch based rendering, and enables interactive line art display.     

An Efficient and Flexible Perception Pipeline for Autonomous Agents

Agents in virtual environments require a combination of perception and action to behave in an autonomous way. We extend a software architecture for the management of actions blending, called AGENTlib, with a perception mechanism. The perception system provides a uniform interface to various techniques in the field of virtual perception, including synthetic vision, database access and perception persistency. We describe the framework we designed to efficiently filter valuable information from the scene and we address concerns about computation redundancy and data propagation through multiple filtering modules.
