Registration (or alignment) of the synthetic imagery with the real world is crucial in augmented reality (AR) systems. The data from user-input devices, tracking devices, and imag...
Efficient storage and retrieval of large multidimensional datasets is an important concernfor large-scale scientific computations such as long-running time-dependent simulations w...
This paper introduces a new optimization technique called hyperplane annealing. It is similar to the mean field annealing approach to combinatorial optimization. Both annealing te...
We describe a physically-based Monte Carlo technique for approximating bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs) for a large class of geometries by directly simulat...
