Directional Coherence Maps as proposed by Guo in '98 are a very efficient acceleration technique for ray tracing based global illumination renderers. It vastly reduces the nu...
The ability to provide accurate and efficient result estimations of user queries is very important for the query optimizer in database systems. In this paper, we show that the tra...
Dimensionality reduction is the process by which a set of data points in a higher dimensional space are mapped to a lower dimension while maintaining certain properties of these p...
It is difficult to render caustic patterns at interactive frame rates. This paper introduces new rendering techniques that relax current constraints, allowing scenes with moving, n...
The recovery of 3D models from multiple reference images involves not only the extraction of 3D shape, but also of texture. Assuming that all surfaces are Lambertian, the resultin...
