Real-time homogenous translucent material editing

This paper presents a novel method for real-time homogenous translucent material editing under fixed illumination. We consider the complete analytic BSSRDF model proposed by Jensen et al. [ [JMLH01] ], including both multiple scattering and single scattering. Our method allows the user to adjust the analytic parameters of BSSRDF and provides high-quality, real-time rendering feedback. Inspired by recently developed Precomputed Radiance Transfer (PRT) techniques, we approximate both the multiple scattering diffuse reflectance function and the single scattering exponential attenuation function in the analytic model using basis functions, so that re-computing the outgoing radiance at each vertex as parameters change reduces to simple dot products. In addition, using a non-uniform piecewise polynomial basis, we are able to achieve smaller approximation error than using bases adopted in previous PRT-based works, such as spherical harmonics and wavelets. Using hardware acceleration, we demonstrate that our system generates images comparable to [ [JMLH01] ]at real-time frame-rates.

Control of the medical treatment of AIDS

This work deals with the statement and the solution of problems of optimal control of the human immune system affected by a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The solution is performed by the numerical methods of optimal control on the basis of a dynamic model of the development of an infection in the organism of a human being. The results illustrate the possibilities for the use of mathematical methods in the problem of extending the life of HIV-infected patients.     

Determining the Castability of Simple Polyhedra

A polyhedron P is castable if its boundary can be partitioned by a plane into two polyhedral terrains. Castable polyhedra can be manufactured easily using two cast parts, where each cast part can be removed from the object without breaking the cast part or the object. If we assume that the cast parts are each removed by a single translation, it is shown that for a simple polyhedron with n vertices, castability can be decided in time and linear space using a simple algorithm. A more complicated algorithm solves the problem in time and space, for any fixed ε > 0. In the case where the cast parts are to be removed in opposite directions, a simple O(n ² )-time algorithm is presented. Finally, if the object is a convex polyhedron and the cast parts are to be removed in opposite directions, a simple algorithm is presented. Received June 1, 1994; revised May 25, 1995.
