Implementation of smooth continuous camera trajectories for viewing PDB and VRML objects.
A parametrically defined camera trajectory enabling the accurate and systematic scanning of the entire surface of virtual (Protein Data Bank (PDB)) proteins is developed and implemented. The smooth continuous path guarantees that each local region of the protein is inspected from a variety of directions in a controlled and uniform manner. Manipulation of several parameters governs the density, character and duration of the scan. Applications to the analysis of other real and virtual objects are also considered.
