In recent years several methods for modeling botanical trees have been proposed. The geometry and topology of tree skeletons can be well described by L-systems; however, there are...
This paper presents a hybrid model for animation of soft inelastic substance which undergo topological changes, e.g. separation and fusion and which fit with the objects they are...
We present an efficient and robust algorithm for computing the minimum distance between a point and freeform curve or surface by lifting the problem into a higher dimension. This...
We propose a method to learn heterogeneous models of object classes for visual recognition. The training images contain a preponderance of clutter and learning is unsupervised. Ou...
We develop a multi-class object detection framework whose core component is a nearest neighbor search over object part classes. The performance of the overall system is critically...
