This paper presents a novel basis function, called spherical piecewise constant basis function (SPCBF), for precomputed radiance transfer. SPCBFs have several desirable properties:...

A surface light field is a function that assigns a color to each ray originating on a surface. Surface light fields are well suited to constructing virtual images of shiny objec...

The performances of face recognition systems are heavily subject to the variations in lighting. We propose a novel approach for face recognition under generic illumination conditi...
Light field rendering (LFR) is a fundamental method for generating new views from a set of pre-acquired images. We use densely-aligned cameras for the process of acquiring the se...
This paper develops a theory of frequency domain invariants in computer vision. We derive novel identities using spherical harmonics, which are the angular frequency domain analog ...
