We present a simple, automatic method for extracting feature curves, called crest lines, from point clouds. Crest lines are surface shape features having a mathematical background. Given an unstructured point cloud as ...

We present a novel GPU-based method for accelerating the visibility function computation of the lighting equation in dynamic scenes composed of rigid objects. The method pre-computes, for each object in the scene, the ...

Teleoperated medical robotic systems allow procedures such as surgeries, treatments, and diagnoses to be conducted across short or long distances while utilizing wired and/or wireless communication networks. This study ...

We present a novel method to accelerate the computation of the visibility function of the lighting equation, in dynamic scenes composed of rigid, non-penetrating objects. The main idea of the technique is to pre-compute ...

This paper presents a biologically inspired, hardware-realisable spiking neuron model, which we call the Temporal Noisy-Leaky Integrator (TNLI). The dynamic applications of the model as well as its applications in Computational ...

Only very few constructed facilities today have a complete record of as-built information. Despite the growing use of Building Information Modelling and the improvement in as-built records, several more years will be ...

Computing the visibility of out-door scenes is often much harder than of in-door scenes. The difficulty is that although the majority of objects are hidden, some parts might be visible at a distance in an arbitrary location, ...
