We present Volume dots (Vots), a new primitive for volumetric data modelling, processing, and rendering. Vots are a point-based representation of volumetric data. An individual Vo...
Most image and video compression algorithms that have been proposed to improve picture quality relative to compression efficiency have either been designed based on objective crite...
This paper presents a novel and effective approach to synthesize English handwriting in the user’s writing style. We select the most important features that depict the handwriti...
Similarity joins are important operations with a broad range of applications. In this paper, we study the problem of vector similarity join size estimation (VSJ). It is a generali...
