While realistic illumination significantly improves the visual quality and perception of rendered images, it is often very expensive to compute. In this paper, we propose a new al...
In this paper we address the problem of minimizing a large class of energy functions that occur in early vision. The major restriction is that the energy function's smoothnes...
Abstract. Figure/ground assignment is a key step in perceptual organization which assigns contours to one of the two abutting regions, providing information about occlusion and all...
Regression problems on massive data sets are ubiquitous in many application domains including the Internet, earth and space sciences, and finances. In many cases, regression algori...
This paper deals with the reconstruction of smooth, flexible, isometrically embedded flat surfaces in 3D, such as a sheet of paper or a flag waving in the wind, from a set of 2...
