A number of 3D shape reconstruction algorithms, in particular 3D image segmentation methods, produce their results in the form of binary volumes, where a binary value indicates whe...
Rendering highly complex models can be time and space prohibitive, and decimation is an important tool in providing simplifications. A decimated model may replace the original ent...
We describe an improved, anatomically based approach to modeling and animating animals. Underlying muscles, bones, and generalized tissue are modeled as triangle meshes or ellipso...
This paper presents a MapReduce algorithm for computing pairwise document similarity in large document collections. MapReduce is an attractive framework because it allows us to de...
Several application contexts require the ability to use together and compare different geographic datasets (maps) concerning the same or overlapping areas. This is for example the...
