Straight Lines and Circles in the Log-Polar Image
Foveal or spatially-variant image representations are important components of active vision systems. Log-polar sampling is a particularly powerful example as a result of the simpl...

Spectral Conformal Parameterization
We present a spectral approach to automatically and efficiently obtain discrete free-boundary conformal parameterizations of triangle mesh patches, without the common artifacts du...

Learning Coordinate Covariances via Gradients
We introduce an algorithm that learns gradients from samples in the supervised learning framework. An error analysis is given for the convergence of the gradient estimated by the ...

Hierarchical Penumbra Casting
We present a novel algorithm for rendering physically-based soft shadows in complex scenes. Instead of casting shadow rays, we place both the points to be shaded and the samples o...

Adaptive simulated annealing (ASA): Lessons learned
Adaptive simulated annealing (ASA) is a global optimization algorithm based on an associated proof that the parameter space can be sampled much more efficiently than by using othe...
