Light Field Rendering

by Marc Levoy , Pat Hanrahan , 1996
"... A number of techniques have been proposed for flying through scenes by redisplaying previously rendered or digitized views. Techniques have also been proposed for interpolating between views by warping input images, using depth information or correspondences between multiple images. In this paper, w ..."
Abstract - Cited by 1337 (22 self) - Add to MetaCart
, we describe a simple and robust method for generating new views from arbitrary camera positions without depth information or feature matching, simply by combining and resampling the available images. The key to this technique lies in interpreting the input images as 2D slices of a 4D function

Intrinsic and extrinsic motivations: Classic definitions and new directions.

by Richard M Ryan , Edward L Deci - Contemporary Educational Psychology, , 2000
"... Intrinsic and extrinsic types of motivation have been widely studied, and the distinction between them has shed important light on both developmental and educational practices. In this review we revisit the classic definitions of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in light of contemporary research ..."

A new mathematical model for relative quantification in real-time RT-PCR. Nucleic Acids Res

by Michaelw. Pfaffl
"... Use of the real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify cDNA products reverse transcribed from mRNA is on the way to becoming a routine tool in molecular biology to study low abundance gene expression. Real-time PCR is easy to perform, provides the necessary accuracy and produces reliable as ..."
Abstract - Cited by 1088 (4 self) - Add to MetaCart
in comparison to a reference gene transcript. Therefore, a new mathematical model is presented. The relative expression ratio is calculated only from the real-time PCR efficiencies and the crossing point deviation of an unknown sample versus a control. This model needs no calibration curve. Control levels were

Precomputed Radiance Transfer for Real-Time Rendering in Dynamic, Low-Frequency Lighting Environments

by Peter-pike Sloan, Jan Kautz, John Snyder - ACM Transactions on Graphics , 2002
"... We present a new, real-time method for rendering diffuse and glossy objects in low-frequency lighting environments that captures soft shadows, interreflections, and caustics. As a preprocess, a novel global transport simulator creates functions over the object's surface representing transfer of ..."

The Lumigraph

by Steven J. Gortler, Radek Grzeszczuk, Richard Szeliski, Michael F. Cohen - IN PROCEEDINGS OF SIGGRAPH 96 , 1996
"... This paper discusses a new method for capturing the complete appearanceof both synthetic and real world objects and scenes, representing this information, and then using this representation to render images of the object from new camera positions. Unlike the shape capture process traditionally used ..."

of light at all positions in all directions. With the Lumigraph, new images of the object can be generated very quickly, independent of the geometric or illumination complexity of the scene or object. The paper discusses a complete working system including the capture of samples, the construction

Probability: Theory and examples

by Rick Durrett - CAMBRIDGE U PRESS , 2011
"... Some times the lights are shining on me. Other times I can barely see. Lately it occurs to me what a long strange trip its been. Grateful Dead In 1989 when the first edition of the book was completed, my sons David and Greg were 3 and 1, and the cover picture showed the Dow Jones at 2650. The last t ..."

A tutorial on support vector machines for pattern recognition

by Christopher J. C. Burges - Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery , 1998
"... The tutorial starts with an overview of the concepts of VC dimension and structural risk minimization. We then describe linear Support Vector Machines (SVMs) for separable and non-separable data, working through a non-trivial example in detail. We describe a mechanical analogy, and discuss when SV ..."
Abstract - Cited by 3393 (12 self) - Add to MetaCart
performance is guaranteed for SVMs, there are several arguments which support the observed high accuracy of SVMs, which we review. Results of some experiments which were inspired by these arguments are also presented. We give numerous examples and proofs of most of the key theorems. There is new material

Modeling the Interaction of Light Between Diffuse Surfaces

by Cindy M. Goral, Kenneth E. Torrance, Donald P. Greenberg, Bennett Battaile , 1984
"... A method is described which models the interaction of light between diffusely reflecting surfaces. Current light reflection models used in computer graphics do not account for the object-to-object reflection between diffuse surfaces, and thus incorrectly compute the global illumination effects. The ..."
Abstract - Cited by 400 (6 self) - Add to MetaCart
. The new procedure, based on methods used in thermal engineering, includes the effects of diffuse light sources of finite area, as well as the "color-bleeding" effects which are caused by the diffuse reflections. A simple environment is used to illustrate these simulated effects and is presented

Rendering Synthetic Objects into Real Scenes: Bridging Traditional and Image-based Graphics with Global Illumination and High Dynamic Range Photography

New Light on Dark Matter

by Jeremiah P. Ostriker, Paul Steinhardt
"... Dark matter, proposed decades ago as a speculative component of the universe, is now known to be the vital ingredient in the cosmos, eight times more abundant than ordinary matter, one quarter of the total energy density and the component which has controlled the growth of structure in the universe. ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
. We discuss how studies of the density, demography, history and environment of smaller scale structures may distinguish among these possibilities and shed new light on the nature of dark matter. The last decade, has seen the emergence of a standard model, sometimes called a “concordance model ” (1
