A scene-adaptive rate control algorithm with an enhanced frame skipping is proposed for low bit rate video coding. Most existing rate control algorithms for low bit rate video focu...
The irradiance at a point on a surface due to a polyhedral source of uniform brightness is given by a well-known analytic formula. In this paper we derive the corresponding analyt...
We describe a physically-based Monte Carlo technique for approximating bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs) for a large class of geometries by directly simulat...

To enhance the visual effect of a photo, various digital borders or frames are provided for photo decoration at photo sharing websites. Even though multiple versions of the same b...
Many visual search and matching systems represent images using sparse sets of "visual words": descriptors that have been quantized by assignment to the best-matching symb...
