  abstract = {Algorithms that detect silhouettes, creases, and other edge based
              features often perform per-edge and per-face mesh computations
              using global adjacency information. These are unsuitable for
              hardware-pipeline implementation, where programmability is at the
              vertex and pixel level and only local information is available.
              Card and Mitchell and Gooch have suggested that adjacency
              information could be packed into a vertex data structure; we
              describe the details of converting global/per-edge computations
              into local/per-vertex computations on a related "edge mesh." Using
              this trick, we describe a feature-edge detection algorithm that
              runs entirely in hardware, and show how to use it to create thick
              screen-space contours with end-caps that join adjacent thick line
              segments. The end-cap technique favors speed over quality and
              produces artifacts for some meshes. We present two
              parameterizations for mapping stroke textures onto these thick
              lines - a tessellation-independent screen space method that is
              better suited to still images, and an object space method better
              suited to animation. As additional applications, we show how to
              create fins for fur rendering and how to extrude contours in
              world-space to create the sides of a shadow volume directly on the
              GPU. The edge mesh is about nine times larger than the original
              mesh when stored at 16-bit precision and is constructed through a
              linear time pre-processing step. As long as topology remains
              fixed, the edge mesh can be animated as if it were a vertex
              mesh.},
