Abstract :
A polynomic curve based representation system is a three-dimensional system for rendering images using polynomic curves instead of triangles meshes. This system allows render a scene in a way that the computational cost depends on the image size more than on the scene complexity. Moreover, It allows the user to describe a scene using a minimal amount of data in comparison with traditional methods. According to that, we have implemented a hardware that demonstrates how this kind of applications can be accelerated in a huge grade using the proper solution. The hardware was implemented on a FPGA; thanks to it, the execution times were very reduced, showing a very promising speedup compared against an only software solution.
