In this paper we describe a new framework for the tracking of closed curves described through implicit surface modeling. The approach proposed here enables a continuous tracking al...
Actual graphic hardware becomes more and more powerful. Consequently, virtual scenes can be rendered in a very good quality integrating dynamic behavior, real-time shadows, bump m...
Rendering geometric models with complex surface materials in arbitrary lighting environments is a challenging problem. In order to relight and render geometries covered with compl...
We present an accurate and efficient method for extraction of parasitic capacitances in submicron integrated circuits. The method uses a 3-D finite element model in which the cond...
—We propose an active contour (a.k.a. snake) that takes the shape of an ellipse. Its evolution is driven by surface terms made of two contributions: the integral of the data over...
