We present Metropolis Photon Sampling (MPS), a visual importance-driven algorithm for populating photon maps. Photon Mapping and other particle tracing algorithms fail if the phot...
Hybrid geometry- and image-based modeling and rendering systems use photographs taken of a real-world environment and mapped onto the surfaces of a 3D model to achieve photorealis...
Texture mapping has become indispensable in image synthesis as an inexpensive source of rich visual detail. Less obvious, but just as useful, is its ability to mask image errors d...

We introduce a new approach for Clustering and Aggregating Relational Data (CARD). We assume that data is available in a relational form, where we only have information about the ...
In this article, we present the algorithms and results of our participation in the medical image annotation and retrieval tasks of ImageCLEFmed 2006. We exploit both global featur...
