Many stochastic planning problems can be represented using Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). A difficulty with using these MDP representations is that the common algorithms for so...
Recent excitement in the database community surrounding new applications--analytic, scientific, graph, geospatial, etc.--has led to an explosion in research on database storage sy...
Point-based surface processing has developed into an attractive alternative to mesh-based processing techniques for a number of geometric modeling applications. By working with po...
Three-dimensional appearance models consisting of spatially varying reflectance functions defined on a known shape can be used in analysis-by-synthesis approaches to a number of vi...
