An extension algorithm for B-splines by curve unclamping
This paper presents an algorithm for extending B-spline curves and surfaces. Based on the unclamping algorithm for B-spline curves, we propose a new algorithm for extending B-spli...

Binary Searching with Nonuniform Costs and Its Application to Text Retrieval
We study the problem of minimizing the expected cost of binary searching for data where the access cost is not fixed and depends on the last accessed element, such as data stored i...

The "dead reckoning" signed distance transform
Consider a binary image containing one or more objects. A signed distance transform assigns to each pixel (voxel, etc.), both inside and outside of any objects, the minimum distan...

Line drawing, leap years, and Euclid
Bresenham's algorithm minimizes error in drawing lines on integer grid points; leap year calculations, surprisingly, are a generalization. We compare the two calculations, exp...

Finding Approximate Palindromes in Strings Quickly and Simply
: Described are two algorithms to find long approximate palindromes in a string, for example a DNA sequence. A simple algorithm requires O(n)space and almost always runs in O(k.n)-...
