Predicting reflectance functions from complex surfaces
We describe a physically-based Monte Carlo technique for approximating bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs) for a large class of geometries by directly simulat...

How to "hear" visual disparities: real-time stereoscopic spatial depth analysis using temporal resonance
Abstract. In a stereoscopic system, both eyes or cameras have a slightly di€erent view. As a consequence, small variations between the projected images exist (`disparities') ...

Lost in quantization: Improving particular object retrieval in large scale image databases
The state of the art in visual object retrieval from large databases is achieved by systems that are inspired by text retrieval. A key component of these approaches is that local ...
