Efficient and Accurate Physically-Based Differentiable Rendering

Physically-based rendering algorithms generate photorealistic images of virtual scenes. By simulating light paths in a scene, complex physical effects such as shadows, reflections and volumetric scattering can be reproduced. Over the last decade, physicall ...

Quantifying the Error of Light Transport Algorithms

Wenzel Alban Jakob

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 ...

Bio-physically plausible visualization of highly scattering fluorescent neocortical models for in silico experimentation

Henry Markram, Felix Schürmann, Marwan Muhammad Ahmed Abdellah, Julian Charles Shillcock, Stefan Eilemann, Ahmet Bilgili

Background: We present a visualization pipeline capable of accurate rendering of highly scattering fluorescent neocortical neuronal models. The pipeline is mainly developed to serve the computational neurobiology community. It allows the scientists to visu ...

Simulating Energy Relaxation in Pump-Probe Vibrational Spectroscopy of Hydrogen-Bonded Liquids

Michele Ceriotti

We introduce a nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulation approach, based on the generalized Langevin equation, to study vibrational energy relaxation in pump probe spectroscopy. A colored noise thermostat is used to selectively excite a set of vibration ...

A Physically Plausible Model for Rendering Highly Scattering Fluorescent Participating Media

Henry Markram, Felix Schürmann, Marwan Muhammad Ahmed Abdellah, Stefan Eilemann, Ahmet Bilgili

We present a novel extension of the path tracing algorithm that is capable of treating highly scattering participating media in the presence of fluorescent structures. The extension is based on the formulation of the full radiative transfer equation when s ...

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 ...

The activity path approach to activity pattern modeling

Michel Bierlaire, Antonin Danalet

In this presentation, we propose a model for the simultaneous choice of activity types, order, start times and durations of activity episodes in a sequence. In particular, we develop a framework for choice set generation based on path choice to deal with t ...

Importance sampling for activity path choice

Michel Bierlaire, Antonin Danalet

We propose a model for the choice of an activity pattern. Models of activity participation patterns allow to assess the impact of demand management strategies on activity and destination choices. In particular, we focus on choice set generation of activity ...
