In Monte-Carlo photon-tracing methods energy-carrying particles are traced in an environment to generate hit points on object surfaces for simulating global illumination. The surf...
In order to enable high-level semantics-based video annotation and interpretation, we tackle the problem of automatic decomposition of motion pictures into meaningful story units,...
The deformation of applicable surfaces such as sheets of paper satisfies the differential geometric constraints of isometry (lengths and areas are conserved) and vanishing Gaussia...

We present a simple randomized algorithmic framework for connected facility location problems. The basic idea is as follows: We run a black-box approximation algorithm for the unc...

: In this paper we present novel algorithms to compute quasi-static and dynamic equilibrium positions and orientations (if any) of 2D polygonal or curved parts placed on general sh...
