Fast Global Illumination Including Specular Effects
Rapidly simulating global illumination, including diffuse and glossy light transport is a very difficult problem. Finite element or radiosity approaches can achieve interactive si...

Learning Globally-Consistent Local Distance Functions for Shape-Based Image Retrieval and Classification
We address the problem of visual category recognition by learning an image-to-image distance function that attempts to satisfy the following property: the distance between images ...

A globally optimal algorithm for TTD-MDPs
In this paper, we discuss the use of Targeted Trajectory Distribution Markov Decision Processes (TTD-MDPs)—a variant of MDPs in which the goal is to realize a specified distrib...

Bayesian Monte Carlo for the Global Optimization of Expensive Functions
In the last decades enormous advances have been made possible for modelling complex (physical) systems by mathematical equations and computer algorithms. To deal with very long run...

Statistical Analysis of the Global Geodesic Function for 3D Object Classification
This paper presents a novel classification strategy for 3D objects. Our technique is based on using a Global Geodesic Function to intrinsically describe the surface ofan object. T...
