Ambient occlusion has proven to be a useful tool for producing realistic images, both in offline rendering and interactive applications. In production rendering, ambient occlusion...
Fast image retrieval is the key to success for operations on large image databases, and a great many techniques have been developed for efficient retrieval. However, most of these...
We present in this paper multi-thread and multi-process parallelizations of the Fast Multipole Method (FMM) for Laplace equation, for uniform and non uniform distributions. These ...
Volume rendering is a widespread method for displaying graphical models in fields such as medical visualization or engineering. The required image information is stored in a volum...
Multimedia data accessibility depends on a precise indexing, involving a computational cost. This paper proposes a new fast method of segmentation and indexing in order to fill o...
