Modeling and Rendering for Realistic Facial Animation
Abstract. Rendering realistic faces and facial expressions requires good models for the reflectance of skin and the motion of the face. We describe a system for modeling, animating...

Guaranteed Occlusion and Visibility in Cluster Hierarchical Radiosity
Visibility determination is the most expensive task in cluster hierarchical radiosity. Guaranteed full occlusion and full visibility can reduce these computations without causing ...

Wavelet Warping
We present wavelet warping -- a new class of forward 3D warping algorithms for image-based rendering. In wavelet warping most of the warping operation is performed in the wavelet d...

Wavelet Radiosity on Arbitrary Planar Surfaces
Abstract. Wavelet radiosity is, by its nature, restricted to parallelograms or triangles. This paper presents an innovative technique enabling wavelet radiosity computations on pla...

Soft Shadow Maps for Linear Lights
Soft shadows and penumbra regions generated by extended light sources such as linear and area lights are visual effects that significantly contribute to the realism of a scene. In ...

Parameterized Animation Compression
Synthetic images can be parameterized by more than time or viewpoint. We generalize image-based rendering by exploiting texture-mapping graphics hardware to decompress ray-traced ...
