Existing algorithms can efficiently render refractive objects of constant refractive index. For a medium with a continuously varying index of refraction, most algorithms use the r...
A new method for the lossy compression of segmentation maps is presented. In the first stage of the proposed algorithm, region boundary segments are coded, providing a coarse poly...
We present an approach to decomposing branching volume data into sub-branches. First, a metric is proposed for evaluating local convexities in volumetric data, and it is a criteri...
A method dealing with recognition of partially occluded and affine transformed binary objects is presented. The method is designed for objects with smooth curved boundary. It divi...
An essential cycle on a surface is a simple cycle that cannot be continuously deformed to a point or a single boundary. We describe algorithms to compute the shortest essential cy...
