Complex objects can often be conveniently represented by finite sets of simpler components, such as images by sets of patches or texts by bags of words. We study the class of posi...
Simulation of a pen-and-ink illustration style in a realtime rendering system is a challenging computer graphics problem. Tonal art maps (TAMs) were recently suggested as a soluti...
This paper presents a new method to extract the 3D shape of objects from 3D gray level images using a bicubic B-spline surface model. Extraction of object shape is achieved throug...
Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) is the problem of approximating a nonnegative matrix with the product of two low-rank nonnegative matrices and has been shown to be particul...
We introduce the N-buffer as a tool for multiresolution depth map representation. This neighborhood buffer encodes the value and position of local depth extrema at different scale...
