Smoothly blended articulated models are often difficult to construct using current techniques. Our solution in this paper is to extend the surfaces introduced by Blinn [Blinn 1982...
Grouping algorithms based on histograms over measured image features have very successfully been applied to textured image segmentation [2, 11, 6]. However, the competing goals of...
Bidirectional texture functions (BTFs) represent the appearance of complex materials. Three major shortcomings with BTFs are the bulky storage, the difficulty in editing and the ...
The known sampling methods can roughly be grouped into regular and irregular sampling. While regular sampling can be realized efficiently in graphics hardware, it is prone to inte...
Although current online chat environments provide new opportunities for communication, they are quite constrained in their ability to convey many important pieces of social inform...
