De forma integrada ao fluxo programável de visualização, a arquitetura calcula atributos de geometria diferencial discreta dos modelos processados, codificando tais atributos em pixels de buffers de renderização não visíveis. Mostramos, através de estudos de casos, que o uso desses atributos é suficiente para estabelecer uma correspondência entre o espaço discreto do modelo renderizado na tela e o espaço contínuo do modelo submetido ao fluxo de visualização. Isto permite que os cursores sejam posicionados de forma consistente com aquilo que o usuário está visualizando, proporcionando uma interação mais acurada. Testes de desempenho e robustez são conduzidos para validar a arquitetura. Uma biblioteca de funções que encapsula a arquitetura é apresentada, juntamente com exemplos de tarefas de manipulação direta 3D implementadas através dela / Abstract: Based on the hypothesis that the precise control of the motion of a cursor constitutes one of the elementary techniques for 3D direct manipulation tools, this thesis proposes an architecture for supporting a configurable control of the motion of cursors with respect to models deformed on graphics hardware. Integrated with the actual programmable rendering pipeline, the architecture computes discrete differential geometric attributes of the processed models and encodes such attributes in pixels of off-screen render buffers. We show, through case studies, that these attributes are sufficient to establish a correspondence between the discrete space of the model rendered on the screen and the continuous space of the model submitted to the rendering pipeline. As a result, the cursors can be positioned consistently with what the user is actually viewing, thus providing a more accurate interaction. Efficiency and reliability tests are conducted to validate the architecture. A library of functions that encapsulates the architecture and examples of 3D direct manipulation tasks implemented with it are also presented. / Doutorado / Engenharia de Computação / Doutor em Engenharia Elétrica

Les données de sismique réflexion sont une source d'information essentielle pour la modélisation tridimensionnelle des structures du sous-sol dans l'exploration-production des hydrocarbures. Ce travail vise à fournir des outils de visualisation pour leur interprétation. Les défis à relever sont à la fois d'ordre qualitatif et quantitatif. Il s'agit en effet de considérer (1) la nature particulière des données et la démarche d'interprétation (2) la taille des données. Notre travail s'est donc axé sur ces deux aspects : 1) Du point de vue qualitatif, nous mettons tout d'abord en évidence les principales caractéristiques des données sismiques, ce qui nous permet d'implanter une technique de visualisation volumique adaptée. Nous abordons ensuite l'aspect multimodal de l'interprétation qui consiste à combiner plusieurs sources d'information (sismique et structurale). Selon la nature de ces sources (strictement volumique ou volumique et surfacique), nous proposons deux systèmes de visualisation différents. 2) Du point de vue quantitatif, nous définissons tout d'abord les principales contraintes matérielles intervenant dans l'interprétation, ce qui nous permet d'implanter un système générique de gestion de la mémoire. Initialement destiné au couplage de la visualisation et des calculs sur des données volumiques massives, il est ensuite amélioré et spécialisé pour aboutir à un système dynamique de gestion distribuée de la mémoire sur cluster de PCs. Cette dernière version, dédiée à la visualisation, permet de manipuler des données sismiques à échelle régionale (100-200 Go) en temps réel. Les problématiques sont abordées à la fois dans le contexte scientifique de la visualisation et dans le contexte d'application des géosciences et de l'interprétation sismique / Seismic reflection data are a valuable source of information for the three-dimensional modeling of subsurface structures in the exploration-production of hydrocarbons. This work focuses on the implementation of visualization techniques for their interpretation. We face both qualitative and quantitative challenges. It is indeed necessary to consider (1) the particular nature of seismic data and the interpretation process (2) the size of data. Our work focuses on these two distinct aspects : 1) From the qualitative point of view, we first highlight the main characteristics of seismic data. Based on this analysis, we implement a volume visualization technique adapted to the specificity of the data. We then focus on the multimodal aspect of interpretation which consists in combining several sources of information (seismic and structural). Depending on the nature of these sources (strictly volumes or both volumes and surfaces), we propose two different visualization systems. 2) From the quantitative point of view, we first define the main hardware constraints involved in seismic interpretation. Focused on these constraints, we implement a generic memory management system. Initially able to couple visualization and data processing on massive data volumes, it is then improved and specialised to build a dynamic system for distributed memory management on PC clusters. This later version, dedicated to visualization, allows to manipulate regional scale seismic data (100-200 GB) in real-time. The main aspects of this work are both studied in the scientific context of visualization and in the application context of geosciences and seismic interpretation
