The block processing inherent in the use of traditional vector quantization (VQ) schemes typically gives rise to perceptually distracting blocking artifacts. We demonstrate that s...

Abstract. In this paper a rigorous mathematical framework of deterministic annealing and mean-field approximation is presented for a general class of partitioning, clustering and ...
Transparency can be a useful device for simultaneously depicting multiple superimposed layers of information in a single image. However, in computer-generated pictures -as in phot...

A critical issue in understanding high speed flows is the study of shock waves. This paper summarizes our research on techniques for the detection and visualization of shock waves...
An important component that has been missing from image synthesis is the effect of weathering. In this paper, we present an approach for the modeling and rendering of one type of ...
