In this paper we introduce the DCT-mod2 facial feature extraction technique which utilizes polynomial coefficients derived from 2-D DCT coefficients of spatially neighbouring bloc...
A common problem in most active contour methods is that the recursive searching scheme can only return a local optimal solution. Furthermore, the internal energy of the snake is n...
In this paper, we propose an image-based approach to synthesize a novel view image for mixed reality (MR) systems. Theoretically, the image- based method is good for synthesizing ...
We address the task of rendering by ray tracing the isosurface of a high-quality continuous spline model of volumetric discrete and regular data. By expressing the spline model as...
This paper describes a computational method for estimating the body reflectance function of color surfaces. The experimental apparatus consists of a vision system having seven spe...
