Object motions can be represented as a sequence of shape deformations and translations which can be interpretated as a sequence of points in N-dimensional shape space. These space...
The Replica Placement Problem (RPP) aims at creating a set of duplicated data objects across the nodes of a distributed system in order to optimize certain criteria. Typically, RP...

We present a method for rendering approximate soft shadows and diffuse indirect illumination in dynamic scenes. The proposed method approximates the original scene geometry with a...
We seek a framework that addresses localization, detection and recognition of man-made objects in natural-scene images in a unified manner. We propose to model artificial structur...
