Hardware accelerated computer graphics algorithms
No full textThe advent of shaders in the latest generations of graphics hardware, which has made consumer level graphics hardware partially programmable, makes now an ideal time to investigate new graphical techniques and algorithms as well as attempting to improve upon existing ones.
This work looks at areas of current interest within the graphics community such as Texture Filtering, Bump Mapping and Depth of Field simulation. These are all areas which have enjoyed much interest over the history of computer graphics but which provide a great deal of scope for further investigation in the light of recent hardware advances.
A new hardware implementation of a texture filtering technique, aimed at consumer level hardware, is presented. This novel technique utilises Fourier space image filtering to reduce aliasing. Investigation shows that the technique provides reduced levels of aliasing along with comparable levels of detail to currently popular techniques. This adds to the community's knowledge by expanding the range of techniques available, as well as increasing the number of techniques which offer the potential for easy integration with current consumer level graphics hardware along with real-time performance.
Bump mapping is a long-standing and well understood technique. Variations and extensions of it have been popular in real-time 3D computer graphics for many years. A new hardware implementation of a technique termed Super Bump Mapping (SBM) is introduced. Expanding on the work of Cant and Langensiepen [1], the SBM technique adopts the novel approach of using normal maps which supply multiple vectors per texel. This allows the retention of much more detail and overcomes some of the aliasing deficiencies of standard bump mapping caused by the standard single vector approach and the non-linearity of the bump mapping process.
A novel depth of field algorithm is proposed, which is an extension of the authors previous work [2][3][4]. The technique is aimed at consumer level hardware and attempts to raise the bar for realism by providing support for the 'see-through' effect. This effect is a vital factor in the realistic appearance of simulated depth of field and has been overlooked in real time computer graphics due to the complexities of an accurate calculation. The implementation of this new algorithm on current consumer level hardware is investigated and it is concluded that while current hardware is not yet capable enough, future iterations will provide the necessary functional and performance increases

Portrait of Daniel D. Bump
No full textA formal portrait of a young man wearing an open coat over a buttoned jacket with a tie and white shirt. He is holding a derby hat in his left hand and his curly hair is parted in the middle. Background looks to be a corner of a room with crown molding at the top.[back] [black printed ink] Picture of Daniel D. Bump, father of Kenneth & Dr. Forrest Bump. Mr. Bump was born July 22, 1881 on the farm owned by his family near Kings Valley, Oregon and located in Polk and Benton Counties. When Daniel was about 19 years of age the family leased the farm and moved to Forest Grove so that he could attend Tualatin Academy from which he graduated and then went on to graduate from Pacific University in 1906. After graduating from Pacific he attended the University of Oregon Law School and graduated with his law degree and passed the Oregon Bar in 1912. He practiced law in Hillsboro with his older brother until 1918 at which time he moved his practice to Forest Grove and practiced there until 1962. He passed away in February of 1966

Report on Meteorological Research March 1, 1935 (m-1)
No full textThe object of the report was to elucidate in detail the various features of the research program in meteorology being carried on at the Daniel Guggenheim Airship Institute in Akron, Ohio. Mr. L. J. Fangman, of the U.S. Weather Bureau, was collaborating with the author in carrying out work such as a study of autographic records of the various meteorological elements during frontal passages with a view to the possible prediction of the intensity of the accompanying disturbance as it may affect the operation of aircraft and a study of atmospheric gustiness with a view to finding the dependence between frequency end amplitude of velocity fluctuations and the vertical temperature and velocity gradients
(Fourth) Report on Meteorological Activities at the DGAI (8-1-36)(Weather Bureau Copy)
No full textThis report is on the investigations of frontal phenomena at the Daniel Guggenheim Airship Institute in Akron, Ohio from January 1, 1935 through August 1, 1936. The investigation was carried out with the cooperation of the U.S. Bureau of Aeronautics, the U.S. Weather Bureau, the California Institute of Technology, and the Guggenheim Airship Institute. Mr. R.C. Robinson of the Weather Bureau cooperated with the author in carrying out the investigation. The object of the investigation was to determine the intensity of the atmospheric disturbances (i.e. rapidity of wind shift and gustiness) accompanying the passage of cold fronts, along with a study of the characteristics of the air masses involved and other features which might affect the intensity of the disturbance. The report treated thirty cold fronts which passed the station during 1935 to 1936
