An object model for computer graphics applications should contain two aspects of information: shape and reflectance properties of the object. A number of techniques have been deve...
Symbolic data analysis aims at generalizing some standard statistical data mining methods, such as those developed for classification tasks, to the case of symbolic objects (SOs). ...
Abstract. An important task in object recognition is to enable algorithms to categorize objects under arbitrary poses in a cluttered 3D world. A recent paper by Savarese & Fei-...
Procedural textures can be effectively used to enhance the visual realism of computer rendered images. Procedural textures can provide higher realism for 3-D objects than traditio...
