Many interesting processes can be represented as time-dependent datasets. We define a time-dependent dataset as a sequence of datasets captured at particular time steps. In such a sequence, each dataset is composed of ...

Metropolis Light Transport is a powerful global illumination algorithm, yet it has some issues that make it less suitable for animation rendering. Due to the algorithm's local exploration of path space, difficult light ...

Cluster and outlier analysis are two important tasks. Due to their nature these tasks seem to be opposed to each other, i.e., data objects either belong to a cluster structure or a sparsely populated outlier region. In ...

Large mesoscale eddies in the ocean can transport a substantial amount of heat and salt over large distances. Using highresolution ICON ocean simulation data, it is possible to detect and track eddies in the ocean and ...

Georeferencing of multitemporal aerial imagery is a time-consuming and challenging task that typically requires a high degree of human intervention, and which appears in application domains of critical importance, like ...

Anti-aliasing on the image plane is a classic problems in computer graphics. While mip-mapping provides an efficient means to pre-filter texture information, no comparable technique exists for visibility. We address ...

This paper describes a new method to control changes in a character's form during exaggeration, through squash and stretch (SS). The Stretch-Engine is the result of this method, designed to be integrated into an existing ...

We present a methodology for synthesizing coordinated full-body motions in order to achieve autonomous virtual characters capable of interacting with the environment while walking. Starting with a parameterized walking ...

In this research the authors explore a hybrid approach which uses the basic concept of key frame animation together with procedural animation to reduce the number of key frames needed for an animation clip. The two approaches ...

We investigate how a person's perception of space in di erent visual modes relates to common computational spatial measures for environment designs. The three spatial measures, grounded in Space-Syntax analysis, are used ...
