In data integration applications, a join matches elements that are common to two data sources. Often, however, elements are represented slightly different in each source, so an app...
Algorithms that use point-cloud models make heavy use of the neighborhoods of the points. These neighborhoods are used to compute the surface normals for each point, mollificatio...
Matching two images with similar contents is one of the most fundamental tasks in image processing. Due to its importance, in recent years, many novel techniques have been propose...
Obtaining fast and good quality approximations to data distributions is a problem of central interest to database management. A variety of popular database applications including,...
Shadow mapping is a technique for doing real-time shadowing. Recent work has shown that shadow mapping hardware can be used as a second depth test in addition to the z-test. In th...
