In this paper, we introduce a novel method for depth acquisition based on refraction of light. A scene is captured twice by a fixed perspective camera, with the first image capt...
Schlick’s approximation of the term xp is used primarily to reduce the complexity of specular lighting calculations in graphics applications. Since moment functions have a kernel...
We present Metropolis Photon Sampling (MPS), a visual importance-driven algorithm for populating photon maps. Photon Mapping and other particle tracing algorithms fail if the phot...
We present an approach for nonlinear optimization of the parameters of an endoscopic camera mounted on a surgery robot. The goal is to generate a depth map for each image in order...
Partially occluded faces are common in many applications
of face recognition. While algorithms based on sparse
representation have demonstrated promising results, they
achieve t...
