We describe a procedure to solve the basic problem of Variable Lighting Photometric Stereo – namely, recovering the normal directions and intrinsic albedos at all visible points...
The accurate generation of soft shadows is a particularly computationally intensive task. In order to reduce rendering time, most real-time and offline applications decorrelate th...
A ray cast algorithm utilizing a hierarchical acceleration structure needs to perform a tree traversal in the hierarchy. In its basic form, executing the traversal requires a stac...
The calculation of radiant energy balance in complex scenes has been made possible by hierarchical radiosity methods based on clustering mechanisms. Although clustering offers an ...
Web information is increasingly used as evidence in solving various problems, including record matching. However, acquiring web-based resources is slow and can incur other access c...
