Optimization of Inverse Reflector Design
(Mas, 2011-03-30)<p>This thesis presents new methods for the inverse reflector design problem.We have focused on three main topics that are deeply related with theproblem: the use of real and complex light sources, the definition of ... -
Perception Based Image Editing
(Lopez-Moreno, 2011-04-08)Image editing and post-processing techniques have matured over the years, making it difficult (vergingon impossible) to assess whether an image has been digitally enhanced or modiffied somehow. However,complex manipulations ... -
GPU Data Structures for Graphics and Vision
(Ziegler, 2011-05-06)Graphics hardware has in recent years become increasingly programmable, and its programming APIs use the stream processor model to expose massive parallelization to the programmer. Unfortunately, the inherent restrictions ... -
Visual Semantic Analysis to Support Semi Automatic Modeling of Service Descriptions
(Bhatti, 2011-06-10)A new trend Web service ecosystems for Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs) and Web services is emerging. Services can be offered and traded like products in these ecosystems. The explicit formalization of services' ... -
Visual Steering to Support Decision Making in Visdom
(Waser, 2011-06-15)Computer simulation has become an ubiquitous tool to investigate the nature of systems. When steering a simulation, users modify parameters to study their impact on the simulation outcome. The ability to test alternative ... -
