Fast Variable Poisson-Disc Pattern Generation
Abstract: The variable density Poisson-disc pattern is a random pattern where points are never separated by less than a minimum distance. The pattern is useful in computer graphics, where it is used to automatically generate locations of trees in forests and bumps on a reptile's skin. It is also useful in magnetic resonance imaging, where it has permitted quality images with less time in the scanner than ever before. In this talk, we will discuss several algorithms for generating this type of pattern and end with the recently discovered fastest algorithm. We will conclude with a discussion on possible further improvements.
