Direct Ray Tracing of Displacement Mapped Triangles
We present an algorithm for ray tracing displacement maps that requires no additional storage over the base model. Displacement maps are rarely used in ray tracing due to the cost...

Discrete laplace operators: no free lunch
Discrete Laplace operators are ubiquitous in applications spanning geometric modeling to simulation. For robustness and efficiency, many applications require discrete operators th...

Adaptive Learning of Statistical Appearance Models for 3D Human Tracking
A likelihood formulation for human tracking is presented based upon matching feature statistics on the surface of an articulated 3D body model. A benefit of such a formulation ove...

Robust contour-based object tracking integrating color and edge likelihoods
We present in this paper a novel object tracking system based on 3D contour models. For this purpose, we integrate two complimentary likelihoods, defined on local color statistics...

Piecewise Linear Approximation of Signed Distance Fields
The signed distance field of a surface can effectively support many geometry processing tasks such as decimation, smoothing, and Boolean operations since it provides efficient a...
