Real-time visualisation of fibre networks

Author

Summary, in English

Different methods of real-time fibre-network visualisation have been studied. Using an extrusion-based method yields very good results, but for large networks the frame rate becomes unacceptably low. To increase the number of fibres that can be visualised in real time, a textured billboard method has been implemented. With this method, an average performance gain of 60% has been achieved, using an OpenGL implementation.
