Abstract. The similarity join has become an important database primitive to support similarity search and data mining. A similarity join combines two sets of complex objects such t...
Abstract. Photo-realistic rendering algorithms such as Monte Carlo ray tracing sample individual paths to compute images. Noise and aliasing artefacts are usually reduced by supers...
Corners and curves are important image features in many vision-based applications. Corners are usually more stable and easier to match than curves,while curves contain richer info...
Developing and debugging parallel programs particularly for distributed memory architectures is still a difficult task. The most popular approach to developing parallel programs f...
We present new techniques for computing illumination from non-diffuse luminaires and scattering from non-diffuse surfaces. The methods are based on new closed-form expressions d...
