ABSTRACT
A system for real-time texture mapping was constructed, Here, "real-time" means that the system reacts to changes in parameter values which define the shape of surfaces and the viewing point that are given by its operator 30 times per second. This real-time processing enables interactive manipulation of texture-mapped free-form surfaces and various application software has been developed taking advantage of this ability. The system owes its performance to a new algorithm for texture mapping which is based on a newly proposed approximation scheme of mapping functions. In this scheme, a mapping function from the texture plane into the output screen is approximated by a linear function on each of the small regions which form the texture plane altogether. The algorithm is very simple and applicable to any smooth surface. It is especially efficient when implemented by a special-purpose hardware.

Real-time bump mapped texture shading based-on hardware acceleration
VRCAI '04: Proceedings of the 2004 ACM SIGGRAPH international conference on Virtual Reality continuum and its applications in industryIt would be more convinced if we can provide more realistic visual effects in a VR system. Bump mapping can simulate a surface bumpy appearance without any overload of increasing extra polygons. Techniques of programmable per-vertex shader and per-pixel ...
Real-time soft shadow for displacement mapped surfaces
ICME'09: Proceedings of the 2009 IEEE international conference on Multimedia and ExpoFor effectively rendering surface details, many texture-based methods such as normal mapping and displacement mapping were used to model detailed structures on a surface. Although self-shadow can be achieved by those techniques, most of them support ...
