We develop a new motion planning algorithm for a variant of a Dubins car with binary left/right steering and apply it to steerable needles, a new class of flexible beveltip medica...

This paper proposes a hybrid approximate pattern matching/ transform-based compression engine. The idea is to use regular video interframe prediction as a pattern matching algorit...
This paper describes shear-image order ray casting, a new method for volume rendering. This method renders sampled data in three dimensions with image quality equivalent to the be...

We present a new algorithm for efficient rendering of high-quality depth-of-field (DoF) effects. We start with a single rasterized view (reference view) of the scene, and sample t...
A simple algorithm for surface interpolation is proposed. Its central idea is quadratic interpolation of a curved segment from the position and normal vectors at the end points, w...
