Authors' version: This paper presents a novel approach to obtain plausible soft shadows for complex dynamic scenes and a rectangular light source. We estimate the lights occl...
The cone ˆG of a finite graph G is obtained by adding a new vertex p, called the cone point, and joining each vertex of G to p by a simple edge. We show that the rank of the red...
Modeling and understanding complex non-manifold shapes is a key issue in shape analysis and retrieval. The topological structure of a non-manifold shape can be analyzed through its...
The locally linear embedding (LLE) algorithm is considered as a powerful method for the problem of nonlinear dimensionality reduction. In this paper, first, a new method called cl...
We present a surface compression method that stores surfaces as wavelet-compressed signed-distance volumes. Our approach enables the representation of surfaces with complex topolo...
