We investigate the feasibility of reconstructing an arbitrarily-shaped specular scene (refractive or mirror-like) from one or more viewpoints. By reducing shape recovery to the pr...
We present a real-time algorithm for rendering translucent objects of arbitrary shapes. We approximate the scattering of light inside the objects using the diffusion equation, whi...

Standard analysis on recursive data structures restrict their attention to shape properties (for instance, a program that manipulates a list returns a list), excluding properties t...
In this paper, a function-based extension of Extensible 3D (X3D) is proposed. The extension allows authors to use analytical functions to define geometry, color, 3D texture as wel...
Unlike its predecessors, MPEG-7 standardizes multimedia metadata description. By providing robust descriptors and an effective system for storing them, MPEG-7 is designed to provi...
