Directional Coherence Maps as proposed by Guo in '98 are a very efficient acceleration technique for ray tracing based global illumination renderers. It vastly reduces the nu...
Following from part I, which presents a retrospective on optimization, we focus here on areas that are recent active research topics and are likely to strongly influence the futur...
Distributed programs are hard to write. A distributed debugger equipped with the mechanism to re-execute the traced computation in a controlled fashion can greatly facilitate the ...
: This paper describes the implementation of a meta-heuristic optimization approach, Tabu Search (TS), for Heat Exchanger Networks (HEN) synthesis and compares this approach to oth...
We approach mosaicing as a camera tracking problem within a known parameterized surface. From a video of a camera moving within a surface, we compute a mosaic representing the tex...
