    • Exploration, Registration, and Analysis of High-Throughput 3D Microscopy Data from the Knife-Edge Scanning Microscope 
      Sung, Chul (2014-04-25)
      Advances in high-throughput, high-volume microscopy techniques have enabled the acquisition of extremely detailed anatomical structures on human or animal organs. The Knife-Edge Scanning Microscope (KESM) is one of the ...
    • Fast Approximate Convex Decomposition 
      Ghosh, Mukulika (2012-10-19)
      Approximate convex decomposition (ACD) is a technique that partitions an input object into "approximately convex" components. Decomposition into approximately convex pieces is both more efficient to compute than exact ...
    • Improving Filtering for Computer Graphics 
      Manson, Josiah (2014-04-30)
      When drawing images onto a computer screen, the information in the scene is typically more detailed than can be displayed. Most objects, however, will not be close to the camera, so details have to be filtered out, or ...
