Abstract. Artists use words, lines, shapes, color, sound and their bodies to express emotions. Virtual humans use postures, gestures, face and voice to express emotions. Why are th...
This work investigates the use of nonlinear dependencies in natural image sequence statistics to learn higher-order structures in natural videos. We propose a two-layer model that...
We present Metropolis Photon Sampling (MPS), a visual importance-driven algorithm for populating photon maps. Photon Mapping and other particle tracing algorithms fail if the phot...
Felt is mankind’s oldest and simplest textile, composed of a pressed mass of fibers. Images can be formed directly in the fabric by arranging the fibers to represent the image...
