This paper presents a method to simulate growth phenomena, and its application to the modeling of complex organic shapes (e.g., plants organs) and folded surfaces. Our main contri...
: Some example effects achieved by our extended toon shader: continuous levels of abstraction (a); abstraction of near-silhouette regions: smoothing (b), and opacity (c); backlight...
Image-based representations for illumination can capture complex real-world lighting that is difficult to represent in other forms. Current importance sampling strategies for ima...
—Cast shadows can be significant in many computer vision applications, such as lighting-insensitive recognition and surface reconstruction. Nevertheless, most algorithms neglect ...

The Crossed-Slits (X-Slits) camera is defined by two nonintersecting slits, which replace the pinhole in the common perspective camera. Each point in space is projected to the im...
