We present a new, real-time method for rendering diffuse and glossy objects in low-frequency lighting environments that captures soft shadows, interreflections, and caustics. As a...
Abstract--An image can be seen as an element of a vector space so that it can be expressed in terms of a series expansion of any non necessarily orthogonal base of this space. This...
We introduce a novel method of test generation for microprocessors at the RTL using spectral methods. Test vectors are generated for RTL faults, which are the stuck-at faults on i...
This paper describes a method for improving the final accuracy and the convergence speed of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) by adapting its inertia factor in the velocity updati...
The amino acid sequence of a protein is the key to understanding its structure and ultimately its function in the cell. This paper addresses the fundamental issue of encoding amin...
