This paper presents a novel approach to creating full view panoramic mosaics from image sequences. Unlike current panoramic stitching methods, which usually require pure horizonta...
We present a new Monte Carlo method for solving the light transport problem, inspired by the Metropolis sampling method in computational physics. To render an image, we generate a...
We formulate an algebra of binary temporal relations between events the number of occurrences of which is unknown, but which are known to recur in time. Ontologically, we view the...
This paper introduces a formalism to describe the needs and preferences of database users. Because of the precise formulation of these concepts, we have found an automatic and ver...
An explicit slice-based mode type selection scheme for use in H.264/AVC has recently been developed, which preserves the coding efficiency of H.264/AVC without requiring any modif...
