whitepaper Cranes Are Developed Faster With UGS Solid Edge, Making This Spanish Company Better at Keeping Up With the Innovations in Its Field2007-08-01 siemens
  JASO Equipos De Obras Y Construcciones, S.L., established in 1975, specializes in the design, development, manufacture and maintenance of horizontal jib and luffing jib tower cranes. The company is a member of the JASO Group, which is considered to be one of the world leading groups in industrial lifting machinery. JASO Equipos De Obras Y Construcciones, S.L. wanted constant innovation to keep pace with advances in lifting technology. The company had gradual transition from 2D to 3D CAD. They implemented training, installation and customization by a knowledgeable distributor and there was automatic translation of 15,000 legacy drawings to the new system.

whitepaper Signal-Specialized Parameterization for Piecewise Linear Reconstruction0000-00-00 EUROGRAPHICS Association
  This paper proposes a metric for surface parameterization specialized to its signal that can be used to create more efficient, high-quality texture maps. Derived from Taylor expansion of signal error, the metric predicts the signal approximation error - the difference between the original surface signal and its reconstruction from the sampled texture. Unlike previous methods, the metric assumes piecewise-linear reconstruction, and thus makes a good approximation to bilinear reconstruction employed in graphics hardware. Significant savings are in texture area for a desired signal accuracy compared to the signal-specialized parameterization metric proposed by Sander et al. in the 2002 Eurographics Workshop on Rendering.

whitepaper Keeping AP Racing on Track2007-06-18 Objet Geometries
  The Objet QuadraTempo enables AP Racing to produce high resolution 3D output for design verification and customer form, fit and function testing prior to production, as well as to demonstrate components to subcontract suppliers prior to commitment to tooling. Since the installation of the Objet QuadraTempo AP Racing is benefiting from significant savings in design times, through increased confidence earlier in the design cycle. QuadraTempo at AP Racing: reduced design to manufacture lead times, the elimination of costs associated with tooling errors, increased customer confidence - designs can be ratified by the customer prior to manufacture.

whitepaper Depth In-Depth2007-05-25 Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)
  With the introduction of the original Radeon the general rendering performance landscape changed significantly due to the revolutionary technology that is HyperZ. Today this technology has been upgraded, fine-tuned and improved in several generations and is now a general commodity that everyone expects to have. Yet it is sometimes not well understood or taken proper advantage of. Developing 3D applications with HyperZ in mind will often produce a significant performance increase. This paper aims to give developers a better understanding of how HyperZ operates under the hood.

whitepaper Dot C Software Gets Great Support, Vastly Improved Performance With Chiphopper and Linux on POWER0000-00-00 IBM
  For around 15 years, Dot C Software has been providing advanced 3D graphics tools and software that help create the often spectacular special effects that people see all around them in movies, television programs, video games and even for such practical purposes as online product catalogs. To open up new opportunities in the film industry, Dot C Software, Inc. needed assistance in porting their 3D graphics software to the IBM Systems platform. To solve this, the company deployed IBM Systems Application Advantage for Linux (Chiphopper) and support from the Dallas IBM Innovation Center.

whitepaper 3D Model Acquisition by Tracking 2D Wireframes0000-00-00 University of Cambridge
  This paper presents a semi-automatic wireframe acquisition system. The system uses real-time (25Hz) tracking of a user specified 2D wireframe and intermittent camera pose parameters to accumulate 3D position information. The 2D tracking framework enables the application of model-based constraints in an intuitive way which interacts naturally with the Kalman filter formulation used. In particular, this is used to introduce feedback from the current 3D shape estimate to improve the robustness of the 2D tracking. The scheme allows wireframe models of simple edge based objects to be built in around 5 minutes.
