—Vision-aided inertial navigation systems (V-INSs) can provide precise state estimates for the 3-D motion of a vehicle when no external references (e.g., GPS) are available. This...
We recently proposed a new and efficient next-bestview algorithm for 3D reconstruction of indoor scenes using active range sensing. We overcome the computation difficulty of evalu...
Many virtual environments and games must be populated with synthetic characters to create the desired experience. These characters must move with sufficient realism, so as not to...

In this paper we introduce a mesh approximation method that uses a volume-based metric. After a geometric simplification, we minimize the volume between the simplified mesh and th...

Direct volume rendering is a computationally intensive operation that has become a valued and often preferred visualization tool. For maximal data comprehension, interactive manip...
