Animated particle rendering in DSP and FPGA

We present a fast algorithm for the interactive rendering of animated hair under a dynamic lighting environment. Previous methods use spherical radial basis functions (SRBF) for efficient evaluation of the rendering equation for hair [Ren et al. 2010]. ...

DSP algorithms such as automated target recognition and SONAR beamforming are a good match for FPGA technology due to their regular structure, available parallelism, pipeline-ability, and modest data word sizes. FPGA implementations of these ...

We present a fast algorithm for rendering animated hair under a dynamic lighting environment at interactive frame rates. We use spherical harmonics (SH) to represent the environmental lighting. Since SH functions are orthogonal, the environmental light ...
