                 geometric scenes, as required for more advanced
                 rendering approaches in computer graphics. Visibility
                 types considered are completely visible, completely
                 blocked and partially blocked. In a preprocessing step,
                 the given scene is recursively subdivided into a
                 hierarchy of subscenes. For each resulting subscene, a
                 so called blocker tree is calculated which holds
                 information about the visibility type of viewing lines
                 passing through a bounding box enclosing the scene. The
                 resulting hierarchical blocker tree is used to answer
                 queries for the visibility between two subscenes. This
                 approach is implemented in flatland based on quadtrees,
                 and analyzed experimentally.",

                 clusters based on the orientations and positions of the
                 polygons. As a pre-processing step, the algorithm
                 constructs spatial decompositions with respect to each
                 cluster. For a sequence of back-face computations, the
                 algorithm exploits the coherence in view-point movement
                 to efficiently determine if it is in front of or behind
                 a cluster. Due to coherence, the algorithm's
                 performance is linear in the number of clusters on
                 average. We have applied this algorithm to speed up the

  abstract =     "In many virtual reality applications as well as
                 general computer graphics we need to consider large
                 numbers of objects in order to render one image. In
                 many cases rendering can be preceded by a culling phase
                 which employs simple mechanisms to reject most of the
                 objects. As a result, only a very small portion of the
                 model has to go through the time consuming process of
                 hidden object removal. We report on such a culling
                 mechanism that is based on regular space subdivision
                 into cells followed by cell classification into
                 interior, exterior, and wall cells. A special
                 cell-to-cell visibility algorithm is then activated
                 between every two non-exterior cells. Only the objects
                 in the potentially visible set of cells are actually
                 submitted to the hidden object removal algorithm. We
                 report on the implementation of the algorithm and its
                 performance for walkthrough of various environments.",

                 graphics application. The most common way to reduce
                 this expense is the use of approximate approaches using
                 spatial subdivision. More recently analytic approaches
                 efficently encoding visibility have appeared for 2D
                 (the visibility complex) and for certain limited cases
                 in 3D (aspect graph, discontinuity meshes). In this
                 paper we propose a new way of describing and studying
                 the visibility of 3D space by a dual space of the 3D
                 lines, such that all the visibility events are
                 described. A new data-structure is defined, called the
                 3D visibility complex, which encapsulates all
                 visibility events. This structure is global and
                 complete since it encodes all visibility relations in
                 3D, and is spatially coherent allowing efficient
                 visibility queries such as view extraction, aspect
                 graph, discontinuity mesh, or form factor computation.

                 visibility culling on complex models with high depth
                 complexity. The culling algorithm uses an object space
                 bounding volume hierarchy and a hierarchy of image
                 space occlusion maps. Occlusion maps represent the
                 aggregate of projections of the occluders onto the
                 image plane. For each frame, the algorithm selects a
                 small set of objects from the model as occluders and
                 renders them to form an initial occlusion map, from
                 which a hierarchy of occlusion maps is built. The
                 occlusion maps are used to cull away a portion of the
                 model not visible from the current viewpoint. The
                 algorithm is applicable to all models and makes no
                 assumptions about the size, shape, or type of
                 occluders. It supports approximate culling in which
                 small holes in or among occluders can be ignored. The
                 algorithm has been implemented on current graphics
                 systems and has been applied to large models composed
                 of hundreds of thousands of polygons. In practice, it
                 achieves significant speedup in interactive

                 globally illuminated scenes has to date proven an
                 elusive goal. Previous attempts have failed to provide
                 interactive updates of global illumination and have not
                 been able to offer well-adapted algorithms controlling
                 the frame rate. The need for such interactive updates
                 of global illumination is becoming increasingly
                 important as the field of application of radiosity
                 algorithms widens. To address this need, we present a
                 novel algorithm which provides interactive update rates
                 of global illumination for complex scenes with moving
                 objects. In the context of clustering for hierarchical
                 radiosity, we introduce the idea of an implicit
                 line-space hierarchy. This hierarchy is realized by
                 augmenting the links between hierarchical elements
                 (clusters or surfaces) with shafts, representing the
                 set of lines passing through the two linked elements.
                 We show how line-space traversal allows rapid
                 identification of modified links, and simultaneous
                 cleanup of subdivision no longer required after a
                 geometry move. The traversal of line-space also limits
                 the amount of work required to update and solve the new
                 hierarchical system after a move, by identifying the
                 modified paths in the scene hierarchy. The
                 implementation of our new algorithm allows interactive
                 updates of illumination after object motion for scenes
                 containing several thousand polygons, including global
                 illumination effects. Finally, the line-space hierarchy
                 traversal provides a natural control mechanism allowing
                 the regulation of the tradeoff between image quality
                 and frame rate.",

                 for a frequently changing viewpoint or view vector is
                 very important in the simulation of 3-D objects in
                 Computer-Aided Design. A new approach is proposed in
                 this paper to meet this demand in a very efficient
                 manner. A pre-processing phase, in which a feudal
                 priority tree is established for all polygons of an
                 object, and a post-processing phase, in which a
                 rendering priority list is searched for from the feudal
                 priority tree for a new viewpoint or view vector, are
                 included in our approach. The most time-consuming work
                 is finished in the pre-processing phase which only has
                 to be executed once for an object, and the relatively
                 simple task is left to the post-processing phase, which
                 is repeated when the viewpoint or view vector is
                 changed. For the pre-processing phase, a static version
                 and a dynamic version are proposed in this paper. The
                 one-way priority relations of all polygons are computed
                 in the former part of the dynamic pre-processing in a
                 more efficient way than that in the static
                 pre-processing, but the latter part of the dynamic
                 pre-processing is still based on the static
                 pre-processing. A new concept of ``absolute priority''
                 is introduced to systematically reduce the polygons in

                 probability of finding the separating plane is much
                 increased. This is the basis to implement another
                 important concept of ``separating before splitting'' by
                 which the polygon splittings are much reduced. Hence
                 the efficiency in the pre-processing and the
                 post-processing phases is highly increased.",

                 and natural objects in a hierarchical radiosity

                 outdoor scenes for the first time, including terrain
                 and botanical models as well as sunlight and skylight.
                 This is accomplished by providing the necessary tools
                 to treat terrain meshes as a hierarchy of
                 light-exchanging objects, as well as an efficient

                 simulations is still a hard problem, due in part to the
                 difficulty of analysing the source of error and to the
                 close interactions between different components of the
                 algorithm. In this paper we attempt to address this
                 issue by examining two of the most central components
                 of these algorithms: visibility computation and the
                 mesh. We first present an investigation tool in the
                 form of a new hierarchical algorithm: this algorithmic
                 extension encapsulates exact visibility information
                 with respect to the light source in the form of the
                 backprojection data structure, and allows the use of
                 discontinuity meshes in the solution hierarchy. This
                 tool permits us to study separately the effects of
                 visibility and meshing error on image quality,
                 computational expense as well as solution convergence.
                 Initial experimental results are presented by comparing
                 standard quadtree-based hierarchical radiosity with
                 point-sampling visibility to the approaches

                 require accurate global visibility information.
                 Previous approaches have typically been complicated to
                 implement and numerically unstable, and often too
                 expensive in storage or computation. The Visibility
                 Skeleton is a new powerful utility which can
                 efficiently and accurately answer visibility queries
                 for the entire scene. The Visibility Skeleton is a
                 multi-purpose tool, which can solve numerous different
                 problems. A simple construction algorithm is presented
                 which only requires the use of well known computer
                 graphics algorithmic components such as ray-casting and
                 line/plane intersections. We provide an exhaustive
                 catalogue of visual events which completely encode all
                 possible visibility changes of a polygonal scene into a
                 graph structure. The nodes of the graph are extremal
                 stabbing lines, and the arcs are critical line swaths.
                 Our implementation demonstrates the construction of the
                 Visibility Skeleton for scenes of over a thousand
                 polygons. We also show its use to compute exact visible
                 boundaries of a vertex with respect to any polygon in
                 the scene, the computation of global or on-the-fly
                 discontinuity meshes by considering any scene polygon
                 as a source, as well as the extraction of the exact
                 blocker list between any polygon pair. The algorithm is
                 shown to be manageable for the scenes tested, both in
                 storage and in computation time. To address the
                 potential complexity problems for large scenes,
                 on-demand or lazy contruction is presented, its
                 implementation showing encouraging first results.",

                 render only the parts of the scene visible from a
                 point. Global illumination calculations, however, may
                 require information between any two points in the
                 scene. This paper describes global visibility
                 algorithms that preprocess polygon databases in order
                 to accelerate visibility determination during
                 illumination calculations. These algorithms are
                 sensitive to the output complexity in visibility space;
                 that is, how many pairs of objects are mutually
                 visible. Furthermore, the algorithms are incremental so
                 that they work well with progressive refinement and
                 hierarchical methods of image synthesis. The algorithms
                 are conservative, but exact; that is, when they return
                 visibility predicates they can be proved true. However
                 sometimes they do not return either totally visible or
                 totally invisible, but partially visible, even though
                 in the same situation a better algorithm might return
                 the exact answer. In this paper we describe the
                 algorithms and their implementation, and show that, in
                 a scene with low average visual complexity, they can
