This paper demonstrates how programmable GPUs are a powerful tool to display large point datasets at an interactive frame rate. Point datasets are commonly used to analyse and solve complex problems, but rendering them is ...

In this paper we present a method to obtain a depth map from a single image of a scene by exploiting both image content and user interaction. Assuming that regions with low gradients will have similar depth values, we ...

This work is focused on assigning a depth label to each pixel in the image. We consider off-the-shelf algorithms that provide depth information from multiple views or depth information directly obtained from RGB-d sensors. ...

In recent years, research on computational photography has reached important advances in the field of coded apertures for defocus deblurring. These advances are known to perform well for low dynamic range images (LDR), but ...

Commonly used direct rendering techniques simulate light transport for a complete scene, specified in terms of light sources, geometry, materials, participating media, etc. On the other hand, inverse rendering problems ...

Light transport inside participating media, like fog or water, involves complex interaction phenomena, which make traditional 3D rendering approaches challenging and computationally expensive. To circumvent this, we propose ...

Rendering realistic human skin is not a trivial task. It means dealing with light diffusion in a multi-layered material, where multiple subsurface scattering events take place. Great care must be taken when simulating its ...

Virtual Point Lights (VPL) methods approximate global illumination (GI) in a scene by using a large number of virtual lights modeling the reflected radiance of a surface. These methods are efficient, and allow computing ...

Recent advances in the field of computational light transport have made it possible to solve previously unsolvable problems thanks to incorporating new devices and techniques. One of these problems is the decomposition of ...

Traditional video capture is limited by the trade-off between spatial and temporal resolution. When capturing videos of high temporal resolution, the spatial resolutions decreases due to bandwidth limitations in the capture ...
