Techniques for interactive deformation of unstructured polygon meshes are of fundamental importance to a host of applications. Most traditional approaches to this problem have emp...
Abstract. This paper presents a method for estimating the orientation of planar text surfaces using the edge-direction distribution (EDD) extracted from the image as input to a neu...
Level-Set methods have been successfully applied to 2D and 3D boundary detection problems. The geodesic active contour model has been particularly successful. Several algorithms fo...
We present a complete system for obstacle avoidance for a mobile robot. It was used in the RoboCup 2003 obstacle avoidance challenge in the Sony Four Legged League. The system enab...
We introduce billboard clouds – a new approach for extreme simplification in the context of real-time rendering. 3D models are simplified onto a set of planes with texture and...
