The appearance of real world objects is the result of the combination of their own texture and the light rays striking them before reaching our eyes, or our camera. This appearance therefore brings very rich information about the objects shapes, materials, ...
This paper describes a fast daylight model suitable or embedded daylight controllers. For a given room geometry (including position and tilt of venetian blinds, and the sun's position), the indoor illuminances are modeled as a linear combination of outdoor ...
This work discusses the use of digital cameras fitted with absorption filters as quasi-spectral radiometers. By filtering incident light into selected wavelength intervals, accurate estimates of radiances can be made for unknown spectra. This approach is b ...
We propose an approach to overcome the two main challenges of 3D multiview object detection and localization: The variation of object features due to changes in the viewpoint and the variation in the size and aspect ratio of the object. Our approach procee ...
Material classification is becoming more important in computer vision and digital photography applications, which require accurate classification of objects present in the imaged scene. This is a very challenging task because the sheer diversity of scene c ...
This study presents the application of the “Lightsolve” method on the pre-design of a new sustainable building in order to optimize its daylighting. At the time of the project, this method combined climate-based illuminance and glare evaluations with visua ...
Real-data testing results of a real-time nonlinear freeway traffic state estimator are presented with a particular focus on its adaptive features. The pursued general approach to the real-time adaptive estimation of complete traffic state in freeway stretc ...
The „Green Lighting“ project, started in 2006 at the Solar Energy and Building Physics Laboratory of Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), explores different ways to combine modern day- and artificial lighting technologies. The main objective of ...
We present three different techniques to fabricate embedded photonic crystals in GaN-based structures by metal organic chemical vapor deposition, geared toward high efficiency and high directionality light emitting diodes. Compared to the usual lateral epi ...
A method is proposed to estimate objectively occupants' visual discomfort in small office rooms as a function of the illuminance at one or more locations. Expressed as a visual discomfort probability, it is based on an analysis of the past history of the u ...
