Accurate recovery of a specularity from a few samples of the reflectance function

Martin Vetterli, Ivan Dokmanic, Loïc Arnaud Baboulaz, Gilles Baechler

We present a new technique for estimating the specular peak of the bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) based on finite rate of innovation (FRI) sampling. The specular component of the BRDF varies rapidly, so it is challenging to acquire ...

Multilayer four-flux matrix model accounting for directional-diffuse light transfers

Roger Hersch, Mathieu Hébert

The four-flux model is a method to solve light radiative-transfer problems in planar, possibly multilayer structures. The light fluxes are modeled as two collimated and two diffuse beams propagating forward and backward perpendicularly to the layer stack. ...

Image Based Relighting of Cultural Artifacts

Niranjan Thanikachalam

By incorporating computational methods into the image acquisition pipeline, computational photography has opened up new avenues in the representation and visualization of real world objects in the digital world. For example, we can sample a scene under a f ...

On-Board Vision-Based 3D Relative Localization System for Multiple Quadrotors

Alcherio Martinoli, Duarte Da Cruz Baptista Dias, Rodrigo Martins de Matos Ventura

This work proposes a novel relative localization system, based on active markers and an on-board camera, for tracking multiple quadrotors in a limited field of view. The system extracts the 3D poses of the markers including one that, by pulsating at a pred ...

Color Changing Prints on a Metallic Substrate

Petar Pjanic

Printing on a flat metallic substrate has gained popularity in recent years. The reflection of light on a specularly reflecting metallic substrate differs strongly from the reflection of light on a diffusely reflecting medium such as paper. Direct prints o ...

Color reproduction, pattern hiding and image alternations with halftone prints on metal

Roger Hersch, Petar Pjanic

We propose new methods for creating color or achromatic images that are printed with classical cyan, magenta, yellow and a white diffusing ink on a metallic substrate. We optimize the surface coverages of the cyan, magenta, yellow and white inks in order t ...

Transparent and Specular Object Reconstruction with a Plenoptic Camera

Ying Song

Over the past two decades, most techniques that have been developed are focused on opaque objects with Lambertian reflectance. For the transparent and specular objects, they have more complex light transport effect, which pose challenging problems for the ...

Yule-Nielsen based multi-angle reflectance prediction of metallic halftones

Roger Hersch, Vahid Babaei

Spectral prediction models are widely used for characterizing classical, almost transparent ink halftones printed on a diffuse substrate. Metallic-ink prints however reflect a significant portion of light in the specular direction. Due to their opaque natu ...

Anisotropic Gaussian Mutations for Metropolis Light Transport Through Hessian-Hamiltonian Dynamics

Wenzel Alban Jakob

The simulation of light transport in the presence of multi-bounce glossy effects and motion is challenging because the integrand is high dimensional and areas of high-contribution tend to be narrow and hard to sample. We present a Markov Chain Monte Carlo ...
