Many vision applications require precise measurement of scene radiance. The function relating scene radiance to image brightness is called the camera response. We analyze the prop...
We consider regions of images that exhibit smooth statistics, and pose the question of characterizing
the “essence” of these regions that matters for visual recognition. Ideal...

Image texture can arise not only from surface albedo variations (2D texture) but also from surface height variations (3D texture). Since the appearance of 3D texture depends on th...
We introduce a meshless hierarchical representation for solving light transport problems. Precomputed radiance transfer (PRT) and finite elements require a discrete representation...

In this paper we apply the ideas of algebraic topology to the analysis of the finite volume and finite element methods, illuminating the similarity between the discretization str...
