Graphics and vision are approximate inverses of each other: ordinarily Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are used to convert “numbers into pictures” (i.e. computer graphics). I...
This paper describes shear-image order ray casting, a new method for volume rendering. This method renders sampled data in three dimensions with image quality equivalent to the be...

Detecting shadows from images can significantly improve the performance of several vision tasks such as object detection and tracking. Recent approaches have mainly used illuminat...
or vectors at every mesh point may lead to a very cluttered image. Continuous coloring or data mapping, on the other hand, provide a smooth representation of the data. The use of t...
We consider the problem of grasping novel objects, specifically ones that are being seen for the first time through vision. Grasping a previously unknown object, one for which a 3...
