             abstract = "The high performance of GPUs and the increasing use of their 
                         programming mechanisms have fostered the development of graphics 
                         applications that better exploit the raw power of these devices to 
                         achieve higher levels of realism. Silhouette refinement, as one of 
                         the techniques that help to improve realism, has profited from 
                         GPUs' advances in recent years. In this paper, we present a method 
                         for triangular mesh refinement which alleviates the problem of 
                         rugged silhouettes. We demonstrate that, through a clever indexing 
                         scheme, our method is able to use adaptive patterns in an 
                         optimized way, taking full advantage of the GPU's parallelism. The 
                         ideas we used were adapted from distinct previous works, but our 
                         method presents astounding performance gains. Also, our method 
                         works very well with existing meshes, therefore, it can improve 
                         the visual appearance of existing models without mesh redesign.",
