VolRecon: Volume Rendering of Signed Ray Distance Functions for Generalizable Multi-View Reconstruction

Sabine Süsstrunk, Tong Zhang, Yufan Ren

The success of the Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) in novel view synthesis has inspired researchers to propose neural implicit scene reconstruction. However, most existing neural implicit reconstruction methods optimize perscene parameters and therefore lack ...

BigNeuron: a resource to benchmark and predict performance of algorithms for automated tracing of neurons in light microscopy datasets

Pascal Fua, Sean Lewis Hill, Jiancheng Yang, Xiang Li, Amos Sironi, Jian Zhou, Jie Zhou, Siqi Liu

BigNeuron is an open community bench-testing platform with the goal of setting open standards for accurate and fast automatic neuron tracing. We gathered a diverse set of image volumes across several species that is representative of the data obtained in m ...

Using raytraverse to render high accuracy images

Stephen William Wasilewski

Raytraverse is a python based software that helps to efficiently organize and guide the sampling of a lighting simulation within a scene. Radiance is embedded within Raytraverse to provide accurate and efficient solutions for each sampled ray. This talk wi ...

Void Lensing in Cubic Galileon Gravity

Jiaxi Yu, Cheng Zhao, Huanyuan Shan, Qiao Wang, Jun Zhang

Weak-lensing studies via cosmic voids are a promising probe of modified gravity (MG). The excess surface mass density (ESD) is widely used as a lensing statistic in weak-lensing research. In this paper, we use the ray-tracing method to study the ESD around ...

Immediate Tracing

Valentin Aebi

This semester project report describes a prototype tracing tool that records the behavior of a Java program during its execution. It explains the two methods that were attempted to implement the tool, one using the Java debug interface, which gave poor res ...

Resolving indoor shortwave and longwave human body irradiance variations for mean radiant temperature and local thermal comfort

Dolaana Khovalyg, Arnab Chatterjee, Mohamad Rida

A spatially and directionally resolved longwave and shortwave radiant heat transfer model is presented via a series of experiments in a thermal lab to input surface temperatures and geometries, as well as skin temperature readings from a human subject, in ...

Differentiable Signed Distance Function Rendering

Wenzel Alban Jakob, Delio Aleardo Vicini, Sébastien Nicolas Speierer

Physically-based differentiable rendering has recently emerged as an attractive new technique for solving inverse problems that recover complete 3D scene representations from images. The inversion of shape parameters is of particular interest but also pose ...

Efficient and Accurate Physically-Based Differentiable Rendering

Delio Aleardo Vicini

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 ...
