Gürkan Kolda: Efficient Visibility for Distributed Virtual Urban Environments

Efficient Visibility for Distributed Virtual Urban Environments


Description

This book focuses on the utilization of occlusion culling for the real-time visualization of distributed virtual urban environments. Today's graphics hardware renders all the primitives in any order and uses z-buffer to determine which primitives are visible on a per-pixel basis. However, visibility is computed in the last stage of rendering pipeline and every rendered primitive is not visible in the final image. Early culling of the invisible primitives in a complex scene is valuable for efficiency in the conventional rendering pipeline. This may reduce the number of primitives that will be processed in the rest of the pipeline. In this work, we propose an efficient visibility estimation method for distributed virtual urban environments. The proposed method is based on occlusion culling to identify and cull the occluded parts of the scene. This not only computes conservative potential visible set (PVS) for each client but also assures the computed PVS to be available at the client on-time and reduces the network traffic by grouping the clients which may see each others dynamically.

Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly After twenty-five years of 'sex, drugs, bad behaviour and haute cuisine', chef and novelist Anthony Bourdain has decided to tell all. From his first oyster in the Gironde to his lowly position as a dishwasher in a honky tonk fish restaurant in Provincetown; from the kitchen of the Rainbow Room atop the Rockefeller Center to drug dealers in the East Village, No Rising Tide : Theology, Economics and the Future free ebook from Tokyo to Paris and back to New York again, Bourdain's tales of the kitchen are as passionate as they are unpredictable, as shocking as they are funny. A Cook's Tour: In Search of the Perfect Meal Bourdain sets off to eat his way around the world. But this was never going to be a conventional culinary tour. He heads to Saigon where he eats the still-beating heart of a live cobra, and travels into Khmer Rouge territory to find the rumoured Wild West of Cambodia. He also dines with gangsters in Russia, finds a medieval pig slaughter and feast in Portugal, and returns to the fishing village where he first ate oysters as a child. Written with his inimitable machismo and humour, this is an adventure story sure to give you indigestion.
