CC Shadow Volumes
We present a technique that uses culling and clamping (CC) for accelerating the performance of stencil-based shadow volume computation. Our algorithm reduces the fill requirement...

Architecture considerations for tracing incoherent rays
This paper proposes a massively parallel hardware architecture for efficient tracing of incoherent rays, e.g. for global illumination. The general approach is centered around hier...

Contour cut: identifying salient contours in images by solving a Hermitian eigenvalue problem
The problem of finding one-dimensional structures in images and videos can be formulated as a problem of searching for cycles in graphs. In [11], an untangling-cycle cost functio...
