Ambient occlusion fields
We present a novel real-time technique for computing inter-object ambient occlusion. For each occluding object, we precompute a field in the surrounding space that encodes an app...

Redundancy in Spatial Databases
Spatial objects other than points and boxes can be stored in spatial indexes, but the techniques usually require the use of approximations that can be arbitrarily bad. This leads ...

A comparative study of similarity measures for content-based multimedia retrieval
Determining similarities among data objects is a core task of content-based multimedia retrieval systems. Approximating data object contents via flexible feature representations, ...

A principled approach to remove false alarms by modelling the context of a face detector
In this article we present a new method to enhance object detection by removing false alarms in a principled way with few parameters. The method models the output of an object cla...

Analytic PCA Construction for Theoretical Analysis of Lighting Variability in Images of a Lambertian Object
We analyze theoretically the subspace best approximating images of a convex Lambertian object taken from the same viewpoint, but under different distant illumination conditions. Si...
