This paper describes a system which uses multiple visual processes to detect and track faces for video compression and transmission. The system is based on an architecture in whic...
Acquired data often provides the best knowledge of a material’s bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF). Its integration into most real-time rendering systems re...
Texture mapping has become indispensable in image synthesis as an inexpensive source of rich visual detail. Less obvious, but just as useful, is its ability to mask image errors d...

This paper presents a new technique for rendering bidirectional texture functions (BTFs) at different levels of detail (LODs). Our method first decomposes each BTF image into mul...
Segmentation of video foreground objects from background has many important applications, such as human computer interaction, video compression, multimedia content editing and man...
