Visual simulation of smoke

Ronald Fedkiw, +2 more
TL;DR: The method proposed here exploits physics unique to smoke in order to design a numerical method that is both fast and efficient on the relatively coarse grids traditionally used in computer graphics applications.

Multiple scattering of waves

Peter C. Waterman, +1 more
- 01 Jul 1961 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a criterion for the validity of approximate integral equations describing the various field quantities of interest was obtained by employing a ''configurational averaging'' procedure, and the extinction theorem was obtained and given rise to the forward-amplitude theorem of multiple scattering.

A practical model for subsurface light transport

Henrik Wann Jensen, +3 more
TL;DR: A simple model for subsurface light transport in translucent materials that enables efficient simulation of effects that BRDF models cannot capture and a new, rapid image-based measurement technique for determining the optical properties of translucent materials.

Derivation of aerosol properties from satellite measurements of backscattered ultraviolet radiation: Theoretical basis

Omar Torres, +4 more
- 27 Jul 1998 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the spectral variations of the backscattered radiances are used to separate aerosol absorption from scattering effects, which can be used to identify several aerosol types, ranging from nonabsorbing sulfates to highly UV-absorbing mineral dust.

Spectral signature of alpine snow cover from the Landsat Thematic Mapper.

Jeff Dozier, +1 more
- 01 Apr 1989 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the spectral signatures of the Landsat TM images of the Sierra Nevada were analyzed to distinguish several classes of snow from other surface covers, and a number of TM images were used for automatic analysis of alpine snow cover.
