VR Fresken
(2018)
Das Projekt VR Fresken setzte sich zum Ziel, mit Hilfe von virtueller Realität im Rahmen einer Museumsausstellung historisch rekonstruierte Räume und deren Deckenfresken interaktiv erlebbar zu machen. In dieser Arbeit werden die eingesetzten Techniken und Technologien beleuchtet, der Anwendungsfall der VR für den Einsatz im Museum untersucht, sowie eine Evaluation der Software im Alltagsbetrieb im Museum durchgeführt.
Volumetrische Beleuchtung
(2018)
Volumetric lighting is a common lighting phenomena in nature and carries an important role in the realistic appearance of computergenerated images. This thesis explains the physical background of this phenomena and lists common modells for visualising volumetric lighting in Computergraphics. Following this, this thesis compares three methods for visualising volumetric lighting with modern graphics hardware and compares these according to their abilities, restrictions and performance in an OpenGL implementation.
This bachelor thesis’s objective is to offer the reader insight into the discrete Fourier transform, the discrete cosine transform and the discrete Hadamard-Walsh transform in the context of image processing, and also to compare these transformations under various aspects. For this purpose the term of transformation, originated in linear algebra, will be explained and applied to image processing. Subsequently, the understanding of the Fourier transform will successively be built up and connected to the two remaining transforms. Finally, the transformations will be compared and their usefulness in relation to image processing will be explained.
How does gameplay influence the fun in video games? This article will search for an answer to this question by using a self-made video game created from scratch. This video game will be programmed in two versions with differences only in gameplay. Several test persons are then to play this game. A survey will be answered afterwards. In order to gain values that are merely influenced by gameplay changes, thoughts on the game design and conception were made. Results suggest that gameplay has a big impact on fun in video games. But gameplay isn't the only responsible factor that makes a video game amusing. Psychological aspects are present when the gameplay of a video game changes.
The present thesis gives an overview of the general conditions for the programming of graphics cards. For this purpose, the most important Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) available on the market are presented and compared. Subsequently, two standard algorithms from the field data processing, prefix sum and radixsort are presented and examined with regard to the implementation with parallel programming on the GPU. Both algorithms were implemented using the OpenGL-API and OpenGL compute shaders. Finally, the execution times of the two algorithms were compared.
In dieser Arbeit wird ein System zur Erzeugung und Darstellung stereoskopischen Video-Panoramen vorgestellt. Neben der theoretischen Grundlagen werden der Aufbau und die Funktionsweise dieses Systems erläutert.
Dazu werden spezielle Kameras verwendet, die Panoramen aufnehmen
können und zur Wiedergabe synchronisiert werden. Anschließend wird ein Renderer implementiert, welcher die Panoramen mithilfe einer VirtualReality Brille stereoskopisch darstellen kann. Dafür werden separate Aufnahmen für die beiden Augen gemacht und getrennt wiedergegeben. Zum Abschluss wird das entstandene Video-Panorama mit einem Panorama eines schon bestehenden Systems verglichen.
In this bachelor thesis a code for astrophysical self-gravitating fluid
simulation is developed. The code runs mainly on the GPU. Minimal
simplifications of the physical model and some parameters for accuracy
and tuning allow simulations to be performed at interactive framerates
on most modern consumer grade computers that feature a dedicated
graphics card. It is used to simulate the birth of stars from a turbulent
molecular cloud. Multiple features of star formation, like accretion
discs and fragmentation, can be observed in the simulation, even when
low particle counts are used.
In der Computergrafik stellte das echtzeitfähige
Rendern von Haaren und Fell ein Problem dar. Die
Berechnung der Beleuchtung, Schattierung und
Transparenz erfordert einen hohen Rechenaufwand,
welcher sich negativ auf die Performanz auswirkt.
Doch durch verbesserte Hardware und neue Verfahren
ist es möglich, solch komplexe Effekte in Echtzeit
zu simulieren. In folgender Arbeit werden die
Grundlagen des Renderings von Haaren erläutert.
Außerdem wurde im Rahmen der Arbeit eine
echtzeitfähige Demo implementiert, deren zugrunde
liegende Verfahren und Funktionalitäten beschrieben
werden. Um die Demo zu evaluieren wurde die mögliche
Anzahl an Bildern pro Sekunde bei Modellen
unterschiedlicher Komplexität gemessen. Schließlich
wurden die Ergebnisse mit Bildern von echten Haaren
verglichen.
In no other field of computer science has the hardware been evolved more
quickly than in computer graphics. Therefore the GPU offers, aside from
the pure rendering of triangles, a bunch of further pipeline steps that allows
visualisation of other graphics objects, like freeform surfaces.
This bachelor’s thesis is about the rendering of freeform surfaces, in particular
bezier surfaces. For that reason an implementation for management
and visualisation of bézier surfaces was created for the rendering framework
of the university Koblenz (CVK). For this purpose first a triangulation
was implemented and finally a tesselation of bezier surfaces with normals
and texture coordinates, as well as the handling of trim curves.
