Google Glass is partnering with eyeglass frame vendor Luxottica Group to bring some big brand names, such as Ray-Ban and Oakley, into the mix for future Google Glass frames. Read more »
Google is broadcasting free virtual workshops this week to help small businesses get their products and services online and in front of more customers. Read more »
At the company's Enterprise Connect event, Mark Hurd warned that Millennials are less loyal and more mobile, and they're spending a lot of money. Read more »
In this paper, we propose a new method for reconstructing 3D models from a noisy and incomplete 3D scan and a coarse template model. The main idea is to maintain characteristic high-level... Read more »
Procedural tree models have been popular in computer graphics for their ability to generate a variety of output trees from a set of input parameters and to simulate plant interaction with the... Read more »
We present the surface area traversal order (SATO) metric to accelerate shadow ray traversal. Our formulation uses the surface area of each child node to compute the TO. In this metric, we... Read more »
Choosing balls that best approximate a 3D object is a non-trivial problem. To answer it, we first address the inner approximation problem, which consists of approximating an object FO defined by a... Read more »
The diagnosis of certain spine pathologies, such as scoliosis, spondylolisthesis and vertebral fractures, is part of the daily clinical routine. Very frequently, magnetic resonance image data are used to diagnose these kinds... Read more »
At present, stochastic progressive photon mapping (SPPM) is one of the most comprehensive methods for a consistent global illumination computation. Even though the number of photons is unlimited due to their progressive... Read more »
In this paper, we propose a new continuous self-collision detection (CSCD) method for a deformable surface that interacts with a simple solid model. The method is developed based on the radial-view-based culling... Read more »
