An important, potential application of image-based techniques is to create photo-realistic image-based environments for interactive walkthrough. However, existing image-based stud...
We present a method to solve the human silhouette tracking problem using 18 major human points. We used: a simple 2D model for the human silhouette, a linear prediction technique f...
Scattering in participating media, such as fog or haze, generates volumetric lighting effects known as crepuscular or god rays. Rendering such effects greatly enhances the realism...
A graph is near-planar if it can be obtained from a planar graph by adding an edge. We show that it is NP-hard to compute the crossing number of near-planar graphs. The main idea ...
We present the idea of a flexible phased array of microphones for wearable computers. We show how such an array can be used for both source localization and signal enhancement. A...
