The IRIT solid modeller is actively used in various research areas. Adaptive Isocurve Coverage. A coverage based on adaptive extraction of isocurves can be used for various purposes from toolpath for machining purposes to image rendering. This algorithm, that is exploiting symbolic computation, is implemented using the IRIT solid modeller and a tool named xgladap make use of the hardware of the SGI systems to provide real time rendering using adaptive isocurves. Using refinement and degree raising, two tools that are available in this system, different surfaces can be brought to a common function space and be continuously morphed or transformed from one to the other.
Line drawings is a neglected area of computer graphics.
The IRIT modeling package was exploited for a whole variety of research activities. A list of published papers and reports can be found in Reports and Papers . Click on Images and Pictures - IRIT . Click on Installation of Irit at the Technion . Continuiting to develope this system, the vast majority of the implementation is done by Gershon Elber .
