The Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) describes the appearance of a material by its interaction with light at a surface point. A variety of analytical models...
This paper presents a parallel visualization pipeline implemented at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC) for studying the largest earthquake simulation ever performed. The ...
We develop algorithms for computing the smallest enclosing ball of a set of n balls in d-dimensional space. Unlike previous methods, we explicitly address small cases (n ≤ d + 1...
Abstract. A general principle of cortical architecture is the bidirectional flow of information along feedforward and feedback connections. In the feedforward path, converging con...
Traditionally, shape transformation using implicit functions is performed in two distinct steps: 1) creating two implicit functions, and 2) interpolating between these two functio...
