This report presents a generalization of tensor-product B-spline surfaces. The new scheme permits knots whose endpoints lie in the interior of the domain rectangle of a surface. This allows local refinement of the knot structure for approximation purposes as well as modeling surfaces with local tangent or curvature discontinuities. The surfaces are represented in terms of B-spline basis functions, ensuring affine invariance, local control, the convex hull property, and evaluation by de Boor's algorithm. A dimension formula for a class of generalized tensor-product spline spaces is developed.
Die dreidimensionale Darstellung hybrider Datensätze hat sich in den letzten Jahren als
ein wichtiger Teilbereich der wissenschaftlichen Visualisierung etabliert. Hybride Datensätze enthalten sowohl diskrete Volumendaten als auch durch geometrische Primitive
definierte Objekte. Bei der visuellen Verarbeitung einer gegebenen Szene spielen Schatteninformationen eine wichtige Rolle, indem sie die Beziehungen von Objekten untereinander verständlich machen. Wir beschreiben ein einfaches Verfahren zur Berechnung von Schatteninformation, das in ein bestehendes System zur Visualisierung hybrider Datensätze integriert wurde. An einem Beispiel aus der klinischen Anwendung werden die Ergebnisse illustriert.
Free Form Volumes
(1994)
We introduce the concept of streamballs for fluid flow visualization. Streamballs are based upon implicit surface generation techniques adopted from the well-known metaballs. Their property to split or merge automatically in areas of significant divergence or convergence makes them an ideal tool for the visualization of arbitrary complex flow fields. Using convolution surfaces generated by continuous skeletons for streamball construction offers the possibility to visualize even tensor fields.
Best-Fit Pattern Matching
(1994)
This report shows that dispatching of methods in object oriented languages is in principle the same as best fit pattern matching. A general conceptual description of best fit pattern matching is presented. Many object oriented features are modelled by means of the general concept. This shows that simple methods, multi methods, overloading of functions, pattern matching,
dynamic and union types, and extendable records can be combined in a single comprehensive concept.
We study the complexity of local solution of Fredholm integral equations. This means that we want to compute not the full solution, but rather a functional (weighted mean, value in a point) of it. For certain Sobolev classes of multivariate periodic functions we prove matching upper and lower bounds and construct an algorithm of the optimal order, based on Fourier coefficients and a hyperbolic cross approximation.
In this paper the complexity of the local solution of Fredholm integral equations
is studied. For certain Sobolev classes of multivariate periodic functions with dominating mixed derivative we prove matching lower and upper bounds. The lower bound is shown using relations to s-numbers. The upper bound is proved in a constructive way providing an implementable algorithm of optimal order based on Fourier coefficients and a hyperbolic cross approximation.
Visualization of large data sets, especially on small machines, requires advanced techniques in image processing and image generation. Our hybrid raytracer is capable of rendering volumetric and geometric data simultaneously, without loss of accuracy due to data conversion. Compound data sets, consisting of several types of data, are called "hybrid data sets". There is only one rendering pipeline to obtain loss-less and efficient visualization of hybrid data. Algorithms apply to both types of data. Optical material properties are stored in the same data base for both volumetric and geometric objects, and anti-aliasing methods appeal to both data types. Stereoscopic display routines have been added to obtain true three-dimensional visualization on various media, and animation features allow generation of recordable 3-D sequences.
In dieser Arbeit beschreiben wir einen Ansatz zur automatischen Synthese zustandsendlicher, reaktiver Systeme, ausgehend von einer rein deklarativen, logischen Spezifikation. Dazu verwenden wir temporal stratifizierte Programme,
das sind spezielle Logik-Programme auf der Grundlage einer linearen, temporalen Aussagenlogik. Die Umgebung eines zu implementierenden Steuerungsprogrammes wird hier durch eine Menge von PROLOG-ähnlichen Programmklauseln beschrieben; zusätzlich wird eine Sicherheitsbedingung angegeben, die in dem System gelten soll. Wir zeigen, wie durch eine solche Spezifikation ein sie implementierender endlicher Automat definiert ist und geben einen Algorithmus zu seiner Berechnung auf der Grundlage einer Fixpunkt-Iteration an.
