Abstract:
Recent research in haptic systems has begun to focus on the generation
of textures to enhance haptic simulations. Synthetic texture
generation can be achieved through the use of stochastic modeling
techniques to produce random and pseudo-random texture patterns. These
models are based on techniques used in computer graphics texture
generation and textured image analysis and modeling. The goal for
this project is to synthesize haptic textures that are perceptually
distinct. Two new rendering methods for haptic texturing are
presented for implementation of stochastic based texture models using
a 3 DOF point interaction haptic interface. The synthesized textures
can be used in a myriad of applications, including haptic data
visualization for blind individuals and overall enhancement of haptic
simulations.
