- Rate-distortion theory is applied to the problem of joint compression and classification. A Lagrangian distortion measure is used to consider both the squared Euclidean error in ...
Mesh simplification algorithms play an important role in computer graphics. In particular, view-dependent simplification methods are utilized widely to reduce the geometric comp...
Path planning is an active topic in the literature, and efficient navigation over non-planar surfaces is an open research question. In this work we present a novel technique for ...

Scattering in participating media, such as fog or haze, generates volumetric lighting effects known as crepuscular or god rays. Rendering such effects greatly enhances the realism...
We introduce Linear Efficient Antialiased Normal (LEAN) Mapping, a method for real-time filtering of specular highlights in bump and normal maps. The method evaluates bumps as p...
Quantization plays a central role in data compression. In speech systems, vector quantizers are used to compress speech parameters. In video systems, scalar quantizers are used to...

In this paper, auto regressive (AR) model is applied to error concealment for block-based packet video encoding. Each pixel within the corrupted block is restored as the weighted ...
Abstract. The Virtual Storyteller is a multi-agent framework for automatic story generation. In this paper we describe how plots emerge from the actions of semi-autonomous characte...
Achieving a successful Interactive Drama where the user can act as a character in the story requires not only finding an algorithmic solution for combining interactivity and narrat...
Abstract. This paper presents Textable Movie, an open-ended interface that allows anyone to become "video-jockey." In the framework of computational storytelling, Textabl...
