We introduce billboard clouds – a new approach for extreme simplification in the context of real-time rendering. 3D models are simplified onto a set of planes with texture and...
Image retrieval based on content from digital libraries, multimedia databases, the Internet, and other sources has been an important problem addressed by several researchers. In t...
We present a method to estimate the in/out function of a closed surface represented by an unorganized set of data points. From the in/out function, we compute an approximation of ...
Abstract. This paper studies the properties and performance of models for estimating local probability distributions which are used as components of larger probabilistic systems ...

Despite the undisputed prominence of inheritance as the fundamental reuse mechanism in object-oriented programming languages, the main variants — single inheritance, multiple inh...
