Query-Sensitive Ray Shooting
Ray (segment) shooting is the problem of determining the first intersection between a ray (directed line segment) and a collection of polygonal or polyhedral obstacles. In order t...

Computing a 3-dimensional cell in an arrangement of quadrics: exactly and actually!
We present two approaches to the problem of calculating a cell in a 3-dimensional arrangement of quadrics. The first approach solves the problem using rational arithmetic. It work...

Learning smooth objects by probing
We consider the problem of discovering a smooth unknown surface S bounding an object O in R3 . The discovery process consists of moving a point probing device in the free space ar...

Inferring State Sequences for Non-linear Systems with Embedded Hidden Markov Models
We describe a Markov chain method for sampling from the distribution of the hidden state sequence in a non-linear dynamical system, given a sequence of observations. This method u...
