Recovering Shape Characteristics on Near-flat Specular Surfaces
We consider the problem of capturing shape characteristics on specular (refractive and reflective) surfaces that are nearly flat. These surfaces are difficult to model using tradit...

Do additional objectives make a problem harder?
In this paper, we examine how adding objectives to a given optimization problem affects the computation effort required to generate the set of Pareto-optimal solutions. Experime...
