Graph drawing by force-directed placement

TL;DR: A modification of the spring‐embedder model of Eades for drawing undirected graphs with straight edges is presented, developed in analogy to forces in natural systems, for a simple, elegant, conceptually‐intuitive, and efficient algorithm.
Journal ArticleDOI

A tutorial on visual servo control

TL;DR: This article provides a tutorial introduction to visual servo control of robotic manipulators by reviewing the prerequisite topics from robotics and computer vision, including a brief review of coordinate transformations, velocity representation, and a description of the geometric aspects of the image formation process.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Imaging vector fields using line integral convolution

TL;DR: This approach builds on several previous texture generation and filtering techniques but is unique because it is local, one-dimensional and independent of any predefined geometry or texture.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reflectance and texture of real-world surfaces

TL;DR: A new texture representation called the BTF (bidirectional texture function) which captures the variation in texture with illumination and viewing direction is discussed, and a BTF database with image textures from over 60 different samples, each observed with over 200 different combinations of viewing and illumination directions is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficient region tracking with parametric models of geometry and illumination

TL;DR: This work develops a computationally efficient method for handling the geometric distortions produced by changes in pose and combines geometry and illumination into an algorithm that tracks large image regions using no more computation than would be required to track with no accommodation for illumination changes.

The TRON project

TL;DR: The TRON computer architecture for the 1990s is intended to support the use of personal computers as communication machines and many ‘intelligent objects’ hooked into an HFDS (highly functional distributed system) to support various application needs.
