Object-space silhouette extraction is an important problem in fields ranging from non-photorealistic computer graphics to medical robotics. We present an efficient silhouette extr...
This paper presents a unified utility framework for resource selection of distributed text information retrieval. This new framework shows an efficient and effective way to infer ...
Using object clusters for hierarchical radiosity greatly improves the efficiency and thus usability of radiosity computations. By eliminating the quadratic starting phase very lar...
In this paper we present a new segmentation method for the Multidimensional Multiscale Parser (MMP) algorithm. In previous works we have shown that, for text and compound images, ...
