The range searching problem is fundamental in a wide spectrum of applications such as radio frequency identification (RFID) networks, location based services (LBS), and global po...
The visual hull relates the shape of an object to its silhouettes. This paper develops the theory of the visual hull of piecewise smooth objects, as those used in CAD applications...
