The Institute for Data Analysis and Visualization (IDAV) consists of seven faculty members and approximately 30 researchers and graduate students all working on interdisciplinary problems in visualization, geometric modeling, computer graphics, computational geometry, graphics architecture, and immersive technologies. Our laboratory provides researchers with access to state-of-the-art computing and visualization technology through high-end graphics workstations, parallel computing facilities, a multi-tile display wall, and virtual reality equipment for immersive stereoscopic rendering.

Bicubic Subdivision Surface Wavelets
Martin Bertram, Mark A. Duchaineau, Bernd Hamann, Kenneth I. Joy

In this project, we have constructed a new wavelet transform based on uniform bicubic B-spline subdivision. Our approach is the first to use a simple lifting-style filtering operation with bicubic precision. Compared to the previous smooth subdivision-surface wavelets constructions, our approach requires only fast and local lifting-style filtering operations rather than global sparse ... [more]
