Recent Submissions

  • Deep-learning the Latent Space of Light Transport 

    Hermosilla, Pedro; Maisch, Sebastian; Ritschel, Tobias; Ropinski, Timo (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)
    We suggest a method to directly deep-learn light transport, i. e., the mapping from a 3D geometry-illumination-material configuration to a shaded 2D image. While many previous learning methods have employed 2D convolutional ...
  • Learned Fitting of Spatially Varying BRDFs 

    Merzbach, Sebastian; Hermann, Max; Rump, Martin; Klein, Reinhard (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)
    The use of spatially varying reflectance models (SVBRDF) is the state of the art in physically based rendering and the ultimate goal is to acquire them from real world samples. Recently several promising deep learning ...
  • Global Illumination Shadow Layers 

    DESRICHARD, François; Vanderhaeghe, David; PAULIN, Mathias (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)
    Computer graphics artists often resort to compositing to rework light effects in a synthetic image without requiring a new render. Shadows are primary subjects of artistic manipulation as they carry important stylistic ...
  • Tessellated Shading Streaming 

    Hladky, Jozef; Seidel, Hans-Peter; Steinberger, Markus (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)
    Presenting high-fidelity 3D content on compact portable devices with low computational power is challenging. Smartphones, tablets and head-mounted displays (HMDs) suffer from thermal and battery-life constraints and thus ...
  • Combining Point and Line Samples for Direct Illumination 

    Salesin, Katherine; Jarosz, Wojciech (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)
    We develop a unified framework for combining point and line samples in direct lighting calculations. While line samples have proven beneficial in a variety of rendering contexts, their application in direct lighting has ...
  • Distributing Monte Carlo Errors as a Blue Noise in Screen Space by Permuting Pixel Seeds Between Frames 

    Heitz, Eric; Belcour, Laurent (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)
    Recent work has shown that distributing Monte Carlo errors as a blue noise in screen space improves the perceptual quality of rendered images. However, obtaining such distributions remains an open problem with high sample ...
  • Orthogonal Array Sampling for Monte Carlo Rendering 

    Jarosz, Wojciech; Enayet, Afnan; Kensler, Andrew; Kilpatrick, Charlie; Christensen, Per (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)
    We generalize N-rooks, jittered, and (correlated) multi-jittered sampling to higher dimensions by importing and improving upon a class of techniques called orthogonal arrays from the statistics literature. Renderers typically ...
  • Adaptive BRDF-Oriented Multiple Importance Sampling of Many Lights 

    Liu, Yifan; Xu, Kun; Yan, Ling-Qi (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)
    Many-light rendering is becoming more common and important as rendering goes into the next level of complexity. However, to calculate the illumination under many lights, state of the art algorithms are still far from ...
  • Quantifying the Error of Light Transport Algorithms 

    Celarek, Adam; Jakob, Wenzel; Wimmer, Michael; Lehtinen, Jaakko (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)
    This paper proposes a new methodology for measuring the error of unbiased physically based rendering algorithms. The current state of the art includes mean squared error (MSE) based metrics and visual comparisons of ...
  • Analytic Spectral Integration of Birefringence-Induced Iridescence 

    Steinberg, Shlomi (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)
    Optical phenomena that are only observable in optically anisotropic materials are generally ignored in the computer graphics. However, such optical effects are not restricted to exotic materials and can also be observed ...
  • Wide Gamut Spectral Upsampling with Fluorescence 

    Jung, Alisa; Wilkie, Alexander; Hanika, Johannes; Jakob, Wenzel; Dachsbacher, Carsten (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)
    Physically based spectral rendering has become increasingly important in recent years. However, asset textures in such systems are usually still drawn or acquired as RGB tristimulus values. While a number of RGB to spectrum ...
  • Real-time Image-based Lighting of Microfacet BRDFs with Varying Iridescence 

    Kneiphof, Tom; Golla, Tim; Klein, Reinhard (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)
    Iridescence is a natural phenomenon that is perceived as gradual color changes, depending on the view and illumination direction. Prominent examples are the colors seen in oil films and soap bubbles. Unfortunately, iridescent ...
  • Adaptive Temporal Sampling for Volumetric Path Tracing of Medical Data 

    Martschinke, Jana; Hartnagel, Stefan; Keinert, Benjamin; Engel, Klaus; Stamminger, Marc (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)
    Monte-Carlo path tracing techniques can generate stunning visualizations of medical volumetric data. In a clinical context, such renderings turned out to be valuable for communication, education, and diagnosis. Because a ...
  • Scalable Virtual Ray Lights Rendering for Participating Media 

    Vibert, Nicolas; Gruson, Adrien; Stokholm, Heine; Mortensen, Troels; Jarosz, Wojciech; Hachisuka, Toshiya; Nowrouzezahrai, Derek (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)
    Virtual ray lights (VRL) are a powerful representation for multiple-scattered light transport in volumetric participating media. While efficient Monte Carlo estimators can importance sample the contribution of a VRL along ...
  • Ray Classification for Accelerated BVH Traversal 

    Hendrich, Jakub; Pospíšil, Adam; Meister, Daniel; Bittner, Jiří (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)
    For ray tracing based methods, traversing a hierarchical acceleration data structure takes up a substantial portion of the total rendering time. We propose an additional data structure which cuts off large parts of the ...
  • Microfacet Model Regularization for Robust Light Transport 

    Jendersie, Johannes; Grosch, Thorsten (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)
    Today, Monte Carlo light transport algorithms are used in many applications to render realistic images. Depending on the complexity of the used methods, several light effects can or cannot be found by the sampling process. ...
