In this paper we present a volumetric lighting model, which simulates scattering as well as shadowing in order to generate high quality volume renderings. By approximating light t...
Today's database management systems (DBMSs) are required to handle diverse, mixed workloads and to provide differentiated levels of service to ensure that critical work takes...
First-order Markov models have been successfully applied to many problems, for example in modeling sequential data using Markov chains, and modeling control problems using the Mar...
Higher-order tensor decompositions are analogous to the familiar Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), but they transcend the limitations of matrices (second-order tensors). SVD is ...
We have been developing a stochastic model for figure-ground separation[9][3][12]. The model selects/constructs theforeground with preferenceforfigures with "moreconvex"...
