For decades, animated cartoons and movie special effects have factored the rendering of a scene into layers that are updated independently and composed in the final display. We ap...
Volume ray casting is based on sampling the data along sight rays. In this technique, reconstruction is achieved by a convolution, which collects the contribution of multiple voxe...
In this paper, we present ideas how visualization technology can be used to improve the difficult process of querying very large databases. With our VisDB system, we try to provid...
The divide-and-conquer principle is a majoi paradigm of algorithms design. Corresponding cost functions satisfy recurrences that directly reflect the decomposition mechanism used i...
This paper describes a complete system architecture integrating planning into a two-armed robotic workcell. The system is comprised of four major components: user interface, plann...
