Reconstructing the indirect light field for global illumination
Stochastic techniques for rendering indirect illumination suffer from noise due to the variance in the integrand. In this paper, we describe a general reconstruction technique tha...

Video-based 3D motion capture through biped control
Marker-less motion capture is a challenging problem, particularly when only monocular video is available. We estimate human motion from monocular video by recovering three-dimensi...

Dual loops meshing: quality quad layouts on manifolds
We present a theoretical framework and practical method for the automatic construction of simple, all-quadrilateral patch layouts on manifold surfaces. The resulting layouts are c...
