Compute

This section covers techniques that are made possible with the usage of compute

GPU interfaces.

The first chapter, “Octree Mapping from a Depth Camera,” shows how to

render artificial objects with consistent shading from arbitrary perspectives in a

real-world scene. This chapter uses CUDA to reconstruct 3D scenes from depth

cameras at near real-time speeds. The scene is represented by a sparse voxel

octree (SVO) structure that scales to large volumes.

The second chapter, “Interactive Sparse Eulerian Fluid,” describes a method

for computing and rendering smoke-like fluid in real time on the GPU using

DirectX 11+ with a key focus on the advantages ...
