Creating freeform surfaces is a challenging task even with advanced geometric modeling systems. Laser range scanners offer a promising alternative for model acquisition--the 3D sc...
Runtime bloat degrades significantly the performance and scalability of software systems. An important source of bloat is the inefficient use of containers. It is expensive to cre...
We consider some issues in optimizing persistent programming languages. In particular, we show how to express optimizations of object residency checks in strongly typed persistent...
The most expensive geometric operation in image synthesis is visibility determination. Classically this is solved with hidden surface removal algorithms that render only the parts...
Techniques for inferring a regular language, in the form of a finite automaton, from a sufficiently large sample of accepted and nonaccepted input words, have been employed to cons...
