The estimation of multiple orientations in multidimensional signals is a strongly non-linear problem to which a two-step solution is here presented. First, the problem is lineariz...
FingerCode is a fingerprint correlation matching scheme that relies on texture information. In this scheme, the oriented components are extracted from a fingerprint image using a ...
This paper presents a novel image-based approach to render plausible soft shadows for complex dynamic scenes with rectangular light sources. The algorithm's performance is mo...
Multivariate statistical approaches have played an important role of recognising face images and characterizing their differences. In this paper, we introduce the idea of using a ...

This paper addresses the problem of foreground extraction using active illumination and graph-cut optimization. Our approach starts by detecting image regions that are likely to b...
We present a novel approach to the problem of hairstyle construction from raw surface data such as the ones obtained from surface scans. Our approach is based on a shape matching ...

In this paper, we introduce second order and mixed order partial differential equations (PDEs) for surface blending and present an approximate algorithm for the resolution of the ...
Smooth Skinning is still the most popular method for the animation of deformable human and creature characters. It has became almost an industry standard because of its intuitiven...
As auto-stereoscopic displays offer more and more different possible views, the problem of the size of the data to display is becoming more and more urging. If many 3D images com...
