Silhouette extraction involves separating objects of interest from their background, which has several applications in image processing. Among the silhouette extraction techniques, contour tracing is commonly applied to images with a uniform background. This paper introduces a novel contribution to&#x...

One of the main performance-heavy areas in raytracing is light sampling. Light sampling is solved in a process called next-event estimation(NEE), where light samples are taken at each ray intersection. Since real-time rendering is an objective, instead of sampling all the luminaries, ju...

The article focuses on a method for reliably identify moving colored artificial markers in real-time. The marker was used to determine the 3D position in the space of the user(s). The goal was to ensure that points were found and identified predictably and reliably by&#x...

The paper discusses the analysis of natural lighting conditions for digitizing art. The emphasis is on a realistic 3D digital reproduction of a work of art in natural lighting conditions in the interior of an art gallery. The art object is scanned and digitized in&...

This paper investigates the evolution of agents within a virtual world, focusing on DNA transfer between gener ations, identification of significant genes and the explorations of parameters influencing survival and gene signif icance. To address these questions, we create an artificial life&...
