Volume Decimation of Irregular Tetrahedral Grids
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...

A Two-state Markov Chain Model of Degraded Document Images
We propose a two-state Markov chain model of degraded document images. The model generates random and burst noise to simulate isolated pixel reversal as well as blurring of a larg...
