Conventional approaches to similarity search and case-based retrieval, such as nearest neighbor search, require the specification of a global similarity measure which is typically ...
Ambient occlusion has proven to be a useful tool for producing realistic images, both in offline rendering and interactive applications. In production rendering, ambient occlusion...
The popularity of location-based services and the need to perform real-time processing on them has led to an interest in queries on road networks, such as finding shortest paths a...
We present a graphics hardware implementation of the tangent-plane algorithm for computing the kth-order Voronoi diagram of a set of point sites in image space. Correct and effici...
One of the fundamental problems in Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) has been the gap between low-level visual features and high-level semantic concepts. To narrow down this gap...
