To break the current paradigm in microfluidics that directly links device design to functionality, we introduce microfluidic "virtual channels" that can be dynamically shaped in real-time. A virtual channel refers to a flow path within a microfluidic flow ...
Realistic rendering using discrete reflectance measurements is challenging, because arbitrary directions on the light and view hemispheres are queried at render time, incurring large memory requirements and the need for interpolation. This explains the des ...
Scattering from specular surfaces produces complex optical effects that are frequently encountered in realistic scenes: intricate caustics due to focused reflection, multiple refraction, and high-frequency glints from specular microstructure. Yet, despite ...
We investigate the impact of more realistic room simulation for training far-field keyword spotting systems without fine-tuning on in-domain data. To this end, we study the impact of incorporating the following factors in the room impulse response (RIR) ge ...
Sufficient daylight exposure contributes to occupants' productivity and health in buildings. However, excessive daylight ingress induces discomfort glare and increases the cooling load in warm seasons. The performance of manual shading systems is limited b ...
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 equal-time renderings of competing algor ...
Deep image relighting is gaining more interest lately, as it allows photo enhancement through illumination-specific retouching without human effort. Aside from aesthetic enhancement and photo montage, image relighting is valuable for domain adaptation, whe ...
Sound field reconstruction in rooms is a subject of high interest in the domain of acoustic research.At low frequencies, a thorough understanding of sound field distribution is the key to identifying im-balance and irregularities caused by the room which w ...
Well-designed electrochromic (EC) glazing control can improve the energy performance of buildings and visual comfort of occupants in highly glazed buildings. This paper designed and demonstrated a compact integrated EC glazing automation system to control ...
Modern rendering systems are confronted with a dauntingly large and growing set of requirements: in their pursuit of realism, physically based techniques must increasingly account for intricate properties of light, such as its spectral composition or polar ...
