On the Simulation of Tikhonov Random Processes
Abstract— A novel, simple and efficient method for the generation of Tikhonov (a.k.a. von Mises) random variates is proposed. In the proposed method, circular variates of a pres...

Predicting reflectance functions from complex surfaces
We describe a physically-based Monte Carlo technique for approximating bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs) for a large class of geometries by directly simulat...

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...

The MUSIC Algorithm for Sparse Objects: A Compressed Sensing Analysis
The MUSIC algorithm, and its extension for imaging sparse extended objects, with noisy data is analyzed by compressed sensing (CS) techniques. A thresholding rule is developed to a...
