The most expensive geometric operation in image synthesis is visibility determination. Classically this is solved with hidden surface removal algorithms that render only the parts...
algorithms as networks of modules. The data flow architecture is popular because of the flexibility of mixing calculation modules with display modules, and because of its easy grap...

The Arena modeling system from Systems Modeling Corporation is a flexible and powerful tool that allows analysts to create animated simulation models that accurately represent vir...
This paper discusses a new, symbolic approach to geometric modeling called generative modeling. The approach allows specification, rendering, and analysis of a wide variety of sha...
Lifting can greatly reduce the cost of inference on firstorder probabilistic graphical models, but constructing the lifted network can itself be quite costly. In online applicatio...
