Environment Matting and Compositing
This paper introduces a new process, environment matting, which captures not just a foreground object and its traditional opacity matte from a real-world scene, but also a descrip...

Subdivision Schemes for Fluid Flow
The motion of fluids has been a topic of study for hundredsof years. In its most general setting, fluid flow is governed by a system of non-linear partial differential equation...

Shape Transformation Using Variational Implicit Functions
Traditionally, shape transformation using implicit functions is performed in two distinct steps: 1) creating two implicit functions, and 2) interpolating between these two functio...

LCIS: A Boundary Hierarchy for Detail-Preserving Contrast Reduction
High contrast scenes are difficult to depict on low contrast displays without loss of important fine details and textures. Skilled artists preserve these details by drawing scen...

Rendering with Concentric Mosaics
This paper presents a novel 3D plenoptic function, which we call concentric mosaics. We constrain camera motion to planar concentric circles, and create concentric mosaics using a...
