We discuss a shape representation based on a set of disconnected (planar) polygons. The polygons are computed by creating a BSP that contains approximately linear surface patches ...
Bidirectional texture functions (BTFs) represent the appearance of complex materials. Three major shortcomings with BTFs are the bulky storage, the difficulty in editing and the ...
We present a novel pedestrian detection system based on probabilistic component assembly. A part-based model is proposed which uses three parts consisting of head-shoulder, torso a...

Previous work on context-specific independence in Bayesian networks is driven by a common goal, namely to represent the conditional probability tables in a most compact way. In th...
Audio Fingerprints (AFP’s) are compact, content-based representations of audio signals used to measure distances among them. An AFP has to be small, fast computed and robust to ...
