Real world illumination, captured by digitizing devices, is beneficial to solve many problems in computer graphics. Therefore, practical methods for capturing this illumination are of high interest. In this paper, we present ...

We speed up the rendering of participating media with Virtual Ray Lights (VRLs) by clustering them in a preprocessing step. A subset of representative VRLs is then sampled from the clustering, which is used for the final ...

Rendering of large, detailed 3D terrains on commodity hardware has become possible through the use of raycasting, data caching and prefetching. Adding dynamic shadows as they appear during a day-night cycle remais a challenge ...

Per-joint impostors have been used to achieve high performance when rendering thousands of agents, while still allowing us to blend animation. This provides interactively animated crowds and reduces the memory footprint ...

We propose to treat any changes in colors and textures in shape metamorphosis between two objects as time- dependent transformations of the volumetric distribution of materials. The main idea is to represent geometry of ...

We present a new compressed sensing framework for reconstruction of incomplete and possibly noisy images and their higher dimensional variants, e.g. animations and light-fields. The algorithm relies on a learning-based ...

Many works focus on multi-spectral capture and analysis, but multi-spectral display still remains a challenge. Most prior works on multi-primary displays use ad-hoc narrow band primaries that assure a larger color gamut, ...

We have developed a texture space shading system built on modern graphics hardware. It begins with a conventional rasterization stage, but records texel accesses as shading work rather than running a shade per pixel. Shading ...

An image's color palette can be used to search an image collection to retrieve images that share similar colors to the query palette color. The results of this approach are naturally limited to only those images in the ...

We present a feed-forward neural network approach for ambient occlusion baking in real-time rendering. The idea is based on implementing a multi-layer perceptron that allows a general encoding via regression and an efficient ...
