Program slicing is a technique for extracting that parts of a program which influence a previously defined, so-called slicing criterion. The latter mostly takes the form of a source code statement and a set of variables. Over the years an abundance of variants and enhancements has evolved from the original notion of a program slice. One of these developments is called chopping. A chop only contains those statements which are necessary to sustain the effects of a certain statement on another statement. Corresponding to the slicing criterion, the two statements have to be available in advance. This diploma thesis deals with the development of a service model in order to support the computation of a slice or a chop, given an original program and a slicing or chopping criterion respectively. A service model is a framework of communicating services so that each service performs a specific task within the concept of program slicing. The three main tasks, without considering further decomposition, are the mapping of program code into a representation suitable for slicing, the slicing itself and the display of the slice as code. The key benefit of service-orientation is that a service encapsulates the underlying algorithms. Hence the possibility of improving or substituting them without changing the interfaces of the related service relieves the developer of the need of adapting adjoining services. Thus, service-orientation fosters maintainability and improvability. Besides the definition of the services, this thesis also partially formally defines the data flow between them, i.e. their interfaces. It also features graph class definitions for most data structures. An accurate description of the interfaces encourages reuse, provided the services are of adequate granularity.
Shadows add a level of realism to a rendered image. Furthermore, they support the user of an augmented reality application through the interactions of virtual objects. The reason for this is that shadows make it easier to judge the position and the size of a virtual object. In 1978, Lance Williams published the shadow mapping algorithm with the aim to render a shadow of objects in a virtual scene. This master thesis presents a modified shadow mapping approach that can additionally be used in Augmented/Mixed Reality applications. First of all the standard algorithm ist extended by a PCF-filter. This filter is used to handle the aliasing-problem on the edges of the shadow and also to soften the shadow. Phantom objects are necessary to be able to operate this approach in a Mixed Reality application. These objects simulate the position and the geometry of the real objects for the algorithm. The approach consists of three steps: First the camera image is drawn into the framebuffer. After that a shadow map, of the virtual objects only, is created. When rendering these objects shadow mapping creates the shadows of virtual objects onto other virtual objects and on themselves. Afterwards the phantom objects are rendered. The depth test is performed on the fragment shader. If a fragment lies in a shadowed region it will get the color of the shadow. However, if it is beeing lit its transpareny value will be set to 1 so that it will not be seen. By applying this procedure all shadows from the virtual objects onto the real objects will be drawn. The results show that the approach can be used in real time in Mixed Reality environments. Additionally a comparison with a modified version of a shadow volume algorithm that can also be used for Mixed Reality applications shows that the approach of this master thesis casts a more realistic shadow in a shorter period of time. All in all this approach increases the level of realism in augmented reality applications and it helps the user measure distances and sizes of the virtual objects more easily.
