Many natural phenomena consist of geometric elements with dynamic motions characterized by small scale repetitions over large scale structures, such as particles, herds, threads, and sheets. Due to their ubiquity, controlling the appearance and behavior…
Surfaces in the real world exhibit complex appearance due to spatial variations in both their reflectance and local shading frames (i.e. the local coordinate system defined by the normal and tangent direction). For opaque surfaces,…
Given a short video we create a representation that captures a spectrum of looping videos with varying levels of dynamism, ranging from a static image to a highly animated loop. In such a progressively dynamic…
We present radiance regression functions for fast rendering of global illumination in scenes with dynamic local light sources. A radiance regression function (RRF) represents a non-linear mapping from local and contextual attributes of surface points,…
For several decades, the analysis of visual motion and 3-D scene structure have been central to the study of computer vision. Recent breakthroughs in analyzing and amplifying subtle motions can now give us insights into…
The JPEG XR HttpModule for IIS enables websites to transparently take advantage of the JPEG XR image format by automatically redirecting requests for JPEG and PNG images to a JPEG XR version (if one exists).…
