This paper presents a fast algorithm to compute the global clear-sky irradiation, appropriate for extended high-resolution Digital Elevation Models (DEMs). The latest equations pu...
A Local Linear Embedding (LLE) module enhances the performance of two Evolutionary Computation (EC) algorithms employed as search tools in global optimization problems. The LLE em...
We describe a novel volumetric global illumination framework based on the Face-Centered Cubic (FCC) lattice. An FCC lattice has important advantages over a Cartesian lattice. It ha...
