While we have made every effort to ensure that this thesis is a self-contained work, it is difficult to emphasize the strong generative ability of the models presented herein without demonstrating visually some examples of synthesis. In Chapters 4-6 we make reference to several videos. They are available here, organized by chapter.
The videos were encoded using H.264 and so to view them with this integrated player you will need a relatively new version of Adobe Flash Player (called version 9 Update 3 or v9.0.115.0 which was released on December 3, 2007).
