{"product_id":"stochastic-implicit-surfaces-von-manuel-gamito","title":"Stochastic Implicit Surfaces","description":"\u003cp\u003eImplicit surfaces are a powerful shape primitive for computer graphics. This book focuses on a shape modelling approach which generates synthetic shapes by the specification of an implicit surface  generating function that has random properties. This type of graphic object can be called a stochastic implicit surface because the surface is perceived as the realisation of a stochastic process. The  contributions of this book are in the form of new and improved modelling and rendering algorithms to deal with stochastic implicit surfaces. On the modelling  side, a topological correction algorithm is described  to detect disconnected surface parts that arise as a  consequence of the implicit surface representation. A  surface deformation algorithm, based on advection  through a vector field, is also presented. On the  rendering side, an improved ray casting method is  presented that guarantees correct intersections  between view rays and the surface, followed by a  progressive refinement algorithm that  provides an interactive rendering environment  where the image quality steadily improves. An  application is given in the context of the procedural  modelling of a fractal planet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838377889\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eModelling and Rendering\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838377889","offer_id":39499092951133,"sku":"9783838377889","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/71f1527a-117a-42cb-abab-659254fdeedd.jpg?v=1758869631","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/stochastic-implicit-surfaces-von-manuel-gamito","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
