We propose various simulation strategies to generate single-frame fire effects for images, as opposed to multiframe fire effects for animations. To accelerate 3D simulation and to provide a user with early hints on the ...

This paper proposes an adaptive rendering technique for ray-bundle tracing. Ray-bundle tracing can be done by per-pixel linked-list construction on a GPU rasterization pipeline. This rasterization based approach offers ...

This paper presents a novel video stabilization approach by leveraging the multiple planes structure of video scene to stabilize inter-frame motion. As opposed to previous stabilization procedure operating in a single ...

Image storyboards of films and videos are useful for quick browsing and automatic video processing. A common approach for producing image storyboards is to display a set of selected key-frames in temporal order, which has ...

Segmenting a moving foreground (fg) from its background (bg) is a fundamental step in many Machine Vision and Computer Graphics applications. Nevertheless, hardly any attempts have been made to tackle this problem in dynamic ...

Creating variations of an image object is an important task, which usually requires manipulating the skeletal structure of the object. However, most existing methods (such as image deformation) only allow for stretching ...

Bidirectional Texture Functions (BTFs) are among the highest quality material representations available today and thus well suited whenever an exact reproduction of the appearance of a material or complete object is required. ...

In this work, we present an analysis of feature descriptors for objective image quality assessment. We explore a large space of possible features including components of existing image quality metrics as well as many ...

This paper proposes a new shadow removal approach for input single natural image by using subregion matching illumination transfer. We first propose an effective and automatic shadow detection algorithm incorporating global ...
