Monte Carlo rendering algorithms generally rely on some form of importance sampling to evaluate the measurement equation. Most of these importance sampling methods only take local information into account, however, so the ...

Rendering animations of scenes with deformable objects, camera motion, and complex illumination, including indirect lighting and arbitrary shading, is a long-standing challenge. Prior work has shown that complex lighting ...

The evolution of dependencies in information hierarchies can be modeled by sequences of compound digraphs with edge weights. In this paper we present a novel approach to visualize such sequences of graphs. It uses radial ...

The derivation, manipulation and verification of analytical models from raw data is a process which requires a transformation of information across different levels of abstraction. We introduce a concept for the coupling ...

Inappropriate lighting is often responsible for poor quality video. In most offices and homes, lighting is not designed for video conferencing. This can result in unevenly lit faces, distracting shadows, and unnatural ...

The viewfinder of a digital camera has traditionally been used for one purpose: to display to the user a preview of what is seen through the camera s lens. High quality cameras are now available on devices such as mobile ...

Water is known to play a crucial role in protein structure, flexibility and activity. The use of molecular dynamics simulations allows detailed studies of complex protein-solvent interactions. Cluster analysis and density-based ...

Parallel coordinates have been widely applied to visualize high-dimensional and multivariate data, discerning patterns within the data through visual clustering. However, the effectiveness of this technique on large data ...

This article focuses on real-time image correction techniques that enable projector-camera systems to display images onto screens that are not optimized for projections, such as geometrically complex, coloured and textured ...
