The known sampling methods can roughly be grouped into regular and irregular sampling. While regular sampling can be realized efficiently in graphics hardware, it is prone to inte...
We describe a new boosting algorithm which generates only smooth distributions which do not assign too much weight to any single example. We show that this new boosting algorithm ...
Noise is an important factor in image quality. We analyze it in images produced by digital cameras. We show that, beyond the usual standard deviation measurement, spatial correlat...
We consider the problem of actively learning the mean values of distributions associated with a finite number of options. The decision maker can select which option to generate t...
A solid noise is a function that defines a random value at each point in space. Solid noises have immediate and powerful applications in surface texturing, stochastic modeling, a...
