We present here a prototype video analysis and retrieval system, called NeTra-V, that is being developed to build an object-based video representation for functionalities such as s...
Recently, several real-time soft shadow algorithms have been introduced which all compute a single shadow map and use its texels to obtain a discrete scene representation. The res...
We render tree foliage levels of detail (LODs) using a new adaptation of billboard clouds. Our contributions are a simple and efficient billboard cloud creation algorithm designed...
