Recently, graphics hardware has increased in capability, and is, moreover, now available even on standard PCs. These advances have encouraged researchers to develop hardware-accel...
Iridescent colors appearing on natural objects, such as the feathers of a hummingbird, surfaces inside seashells, and shells of beetles, are beautiful and impressive. The cause of...
Inparticle-tracing radiosityalgorithms, energy-carrying particles are traced through an environmentfor simulating global illumination. Illumination on a surface is reconstructed f...
We present a framework for the interactive simulation of surgical cuts such as being practiced in surgical treatment. Unlike most existing methods our framework is based on tetrah...
Recent years have witnessed dramatic growth in the use of subdivision schemes for graphical modeling and animation, especially for the representation of smooth, oftentimes complex...
In this paper, we present a new paradigm that allows dynamically changing the topology of 2-manifold polygonal meshes. Our new paradigm always guarantees topological consistency o...
As large-scale databases become commonplace, there has been signi cant interest in mining them for commercial purposes. One of the basic tasks that underlies many of these mining ...
This paper contains two contributions to very-low-bitrate video coding. First, we show that in contrast to common practice incremental techniques for rate-distortion optimization ...
