REAL-TIME SIMULATION: WATER DROPLETS ON GLASS WINDOWS

摘要

You're driving to work, and it begins to rain. Water droplets on your vehicle's windshield partially distort your view. When you arrive at your office, you again have a distorted view as you look through a glass window dotted with water droplets. Real-time simulation of water droplets on glass windows is a challenging computer-graphics task. Most existing work uses ray-tracing algorithms, a time-consuming computation and rendering process that can't provide real-time solutions, which are crucial for driving simulators, computer games, and various training systems.
