    摘要: A volume rendering processor establishes a cut-plane region of a volume data set, the cut-plane region being defined by a plane equation and minimum and maximum distance values representing the values of the plane equation at outer faces of the cut-plane region. The plane equation is evaluated for each sample of the volume data, the result is compared with the minimum and maximum distance values to determine whether the sample is in the cut-plane region, and the visibility of the sample is adjusted depending on the comparison result. The plane equation is evaluated by continually accumulating the coefficient values in an order indicated by the ordering of the sequence of samples. Evaluation logic includes an accumulator, a 2-input adder, registers for saving intermediate accumulated values in corresponding dimensions of the volume data, multiplexers for selecting the adder inputs from among the coefficient values, the output of the accumulator and the values in the registers, and visibility calculation logic that adjusts the samples' visibility depending on the relationship between the output of the accumulator and the minimum and maximum distance values. In an inclusive operating mode, the visibility of the sample is set to zero if it is outside the cut-plane region, and in an exclusive mode the sample's visibility is set to zero if it lies in the cut-plane region. Falloff regions at each face of the cut-plane region are used to gradually adjust sample visibility to provide a smooth appearance.

    摘要: A method recognizes a face in an image. A morphable model having shape and pose parameters is fitted to a face in an image to construct a three-dimensional model of the face. Texture is extracted from the face in the image using the three-dimensional model. The shape and texture are projected into a bilinear illumination model to generate illumination bases for the face in the image. The illumination bases for the face in the image are compared to illumination bases of each of a plurality of bilinear illumination models of known faces to identify the face in the image.

    摘要: A method determines an optimal set of viewpoints to acquire a 3D shape of a face. A view-sphere is tessellated with a plurality of viewpoint cells. The face is at an approximate center of the view-sphere. Selected viewpoint cells are discarded.

    摘要: A method produces an image from a set of discrete sample points. The sample points can define a 3D volume or surface. Each discrete sample point is projected to a screen space. A continuous resampling filter for each sample point is generated in screen space. The continuous resampling filter is a combination of a continuous reconstruction function and a continuous filter function for the sample point in screen space. The continuous resampling filter is then applied to each corresponding discrete sample in the screen space to generate a continuous sample for the image. The continuous samples can be rasterized to pixels using any known rasterization process or method.

    摘要: In a method for filtering shade attributes of surface points of a graphic object onto pixels in an image buffer according to depth values stored in a depth buffer, tangential disks are constructed at positions of each surface point. The tangential disks have increasingly larger radii. Each tangential disk is projected to an ellipse in texture space. View independent filter functions are applied at the position of each surface point to generate texture mipmaps for the surface point. The filter functions have an extent equal to the projected tangential disk. The surface point is projected to the pixels in the depth buffer, and a view dependent filter function is applied to each pixel in the image buffer to determine colors for the pixels.

    摘要: A method generates a representation of a graphic object in a memory. A surface of the object is partitioned into a plurality of cells having a grid resolution related to an image plane resolution. A single zero-dimensional surface element is stored in the memory for each cell located on the surface of the object. A subset of the surface elements are selected as primary surface elements. The unselected surface elements are identified as secondary surface elements. Adjacent primary surface elements are connected by links. Primary attributes of the portion of the object contained in a particular cell are assigned to the associated primary surface element and the links of the associated primary surface element. The unselected surface elements are partitioned into groups, there being one group for each primary surface element, and secondary attributes of the portion of the object contained in a particular cell are assigned to the associated secondary surface elements.
