Material Based Splashing of Water Drops
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)The splashing of a water drop is a fascinating phenomenon that results from a variety of complex interactions between the drop and the material it impacts. In general, the distribution of droplets of a splash depends on ... -
Microfacet Models for Refraction through Rough Surfaces
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)Microfacet models have proven very successful for modeling light reflection from rough surfaces. In this paper we review microfacet theory and demonstrate how it can be extended to simulate transmission through rough ... -
Natural Image Colorization
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)In this paper, we present an interactive system for users to easily colorize the natural images of complex scenes. In our system, colorization procedure is explicitly separated into two stages: Color labeling and Color ... -
Photorealistic Image Rendering with Population Monte Carlo Energy Redistribution
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)This work presents a novel global illumination algorithm which concentrates computation on important light transport paths and automatically adjusts energy distributed area for each light transport path. We adapt statistical ... -
Physically Based Real-Time Translucency for Leaves
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)This paper presents a new shading model for real-time rendering of plant leaves that reproduces all important attributes of a leaf and allows for a large number of leaves to be shaded. In particular, we use a physically ... -
Pixel-Correct Shadow Maps with Temporal Reprojection and Shadow Test Confidence
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)Shadow mapping suffers from spatial aliasing (visible as blocky shadows) as well as temporal aliasing (visible as flickering). Several methods have already been proposed for reducing such artifacts, but so far none is able ... -
Precomputed Radiance Transfer for Dynamic Scenes Taking into Account Light Interreflection
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)Fast rendering of dynamic scenes taking into account global illumination is one of the most challenging tasks in computer graphics. This paper proposes a new precomputed radiance transfer (PRT) method for rendering dynamic ... -
Precomputed Radiance Transfer for Real-time Indirect Lighting using a Spectral Mesh Basis
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)Simulating indirect lighting effects has been a challenging topic in many real-time rendering and design applications. This paper presents a novel method, based on precomputed radiance transfer, for rendering physically ... -
Procedural Editing of Bidirectional Texture Functions
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)Measured material representations like Bidirectional Texture Functions or Reflectance Fields offer very realistic appearance but the user is currently not capable of changing this appearance in an effective and intuitive ... -
The Random Camera, the Coded Aperture Camera, and Other Cameras
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)I ll describe two cameras and a comparison of many cameras. In the random camera, we use a lens which creates a pseudo-random relationship between incoming light rays and resulting sensor locations. We studied various ... -
Rapid Acquisition of Specular and Diffuse Normal Maps from Polarized Spherical Gradient Illumination
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)We estimate surface normal maps of an object from either its diffuse or specular reflectance using four spherical gradient illumination patterns. In contrast to traditional photometric stereo, the spherical patterns allow ... -
Ray Tracing Dynamic Scenes using Selective Restructuring
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)We present a novel algorithm to selectively restructure bounding volume hierarchies (BVHs) for ray tracing dynamic scenes. We derive two new metrics to evaluate the culling efficiency and restructuring benefit of any BVH. ... -
A Real-time Beam Tracer with Application to Exact Soft Shadows
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)Efficiently calculating accurate soft shadows cast by area light sources remains a difficult problem. Ray tracing based approaches are subject to noise or banding, and most other accurate methods either scale poorly with ... -
Rendering Discrete Random Media Using Precomputed Scattering Solutions
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)This paper addresses light transport through a discrete random medium, which we define as a volume filled with macroscopic scattering geometry generated by a random process. This formulation is more general than standard ... -
Rendering Translucent Materials Using Photon Diffusion
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)We present a new algorithm for rendering translucent materials that combines photon tracing with diffusion. This combination makes it possible to efficiently render highly scattering translucent materials while accounting ... -
Scene Collages and Flexible Camera Arrays
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)This paper presents an automatic method for creating a collage from a collection of photos of a scene taken from different viewpoints. The collage is constructed by aligning the images (in terms of their positions, rotations ... -
Soft Shadows by Ray Tracing Multilayer Transparent Shadow Maps
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)We present a method for high quality soft shadows for area lights in cinematic lighting. The method is an extension of traditional shadow maps, so it has the advantage of image based shadow methods; the algorithm s complexity ... -
Using Photographs to Enhance Videos of a Static Scene
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)We present a framework for automatically enhancing videos of a static scene using a few photographs of the same scene. For example, our system can transfer photographic qualities such as high resolution, high dynamic range ... -
Whitted Ray-Tracing for Dynamic Scenes using a Ray-Space Hierarchy on the GPU
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)In this paper, we present a new algorithm for interactive rendering of animated scenes with Whitted Ray-Tracing, running on the GPU. We focus our attention on the secondary rays (the rays generated by one or more bounces ...
