On the Advancement of BTF Measurement on Site
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)
We present our progress to the on-site measurement of the spatially varying surface reflectance represented by bidirectional texture function (BTF). This requires a physical realization of a portable instrument that can ...
Towards Physically Based Material Appearance in the Thermal Infrared Spectrum: A Short Survey
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)
In the context of photorealistic rendering, global illumination mainly relies on material models from the visible spectrum, whereas thermal infrared signatures receive only little attention. This paper outlines physical ...
Clustered Pre-convolved Radiance Caching
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)
We present a scalable method for rendering indirect illumination in diffuse and glossy scenes. Our method builds on pre-convolved radiance caching (RC), which enables reusing the incident radiance computed at a surface ...
Extracting Microfacet-based BRDF Parameters from Arbitrary Materials with Power Iterations
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
We introduce a novel fitting procedure that takes as input an arbitrary material, possibly anisotropic, and automatically converts it to a microfacet BRDF. Our algorithm is based on the property that the distribution of ...
Path-space Motion Estimation and Decomposition for Robust Animation Filtering
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
Renderings of animation sequences with physics-based Monte Carlo light transport simulations are exceedingly costly to generate frame-by-frame, yet much of this computation is highly redundant due to the strong coherence ...
Stochastic Soft Shadow Mapping
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
In this paper, we extend the concept of pre-filtered shadow mapping to stochastic rasterization, enabling real-time rendering of soft shadows from planar area lights. Most existing soft shadow mapping methods lose important ...
Unifying Color and Texture Transfer for Predictive Appearance Manipulation
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
Recent color transfer methods use local information to learn the transformation from a source to an exemplar image, and then transfer this appearance change to a target image. These solutions achieve very successful results ...
Statistical Characterization of Surface Reflectance
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)
The classification of surface reflectance functions as diffuse, specular, and glossy has been introduced by Heckbert more than two decades ago. Many rendering algorithms are dependent on such a classification, as different ...
ISHair: Importance Sampling for Hair Scattering
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
We present an importance sampling method for the bidirectional scattering distribution function (bsdf) of hair. Our method is based on the multi-lobe hair scattering model presented by Sadeghi et al. [SPJT10]. We reduce ...
Example-Based Fractured Appearance
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
A common weathering effect is the appearance of cracks due to material fractures. Previous exemplar-based aging and weathering methods have either reused images or sought to replicate observed patterns exactly. We introduce ...
