New Lower Bounds for Convex Hull Problems in Odd Dimensions
We show that in the worst case, (ndd=2e;1 +n logn) sidedness queries are required to determine whether the convex hull of n points in IRd is simplicial, or to determine the number ...

Modeling and Rendering of Metallic Patinas
An important component that has been missing from image synthesis is the effect of weathering. In this paper, we present an approach for the modeling and rendering of one type of ...

A Model of Visual Adaptation for Realistic Image Synthesis
In this paper we develop a computational model of visual adaptation for realistic image synthesis based on psychophysical experiments. The model captures the changes in threshold ...

Constructing Evolutionary Trees in the Presence of Polymorphic Characters
Abstract. Most phylogenetics literature and construction methods based upon characters presume monomorphism (one state per character per species), yet polymorphism (multiple states...
