Reach For the Arcs: Reconstructing Surfaces from SDFs via Tangent Points
We introduce an algorithm to reconstruct a mesh from discrete samples of a shape's Signed Distance Function (SDF). A simple geometric reinterpretation of the SDF lets us formulate the problem through a point cloud, from which a surface can be extracted wit ...
2024Differentiable 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 ...
ASSOC COMPUTING MACHINERY2022Scene Decomposition and Relighting from Image Collections in Neural Rendering
The focus of our research is to generate controllable photo-realistic images of real-world scenes from existing observations, i.e., the inverse rendering problem. The approaches we focus on are those through neural rendering, utilizing neural network to de ...
2022Laser engraving device for multiple laser beams using a data link for adjusting the focusing position
The present invention concerns a laser engraving device (1) for engraving a target surface (17). The laser engraving device (1) comprises: a beam splitter (7) for dividing a processing laser beam (25) into a plurality of engraving laser beams (27); a first ...
2022Efficient 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 ...
EPFL2022On Perfect Clustering of High Dimension, Low Sample Size Data
Popular clustering algorithms based on usual distance functions (e.g., the Euclidean distance) often suffer in high dimension, low sample size (HDLSS) situations, where concentration of pairwise distances and violation of neighborhood structure have advers ...

2020Comic Digitization through the Extraction of Semantic Content and Style Analysis
Comic book digitization would play a pivotal role in exploring new avenues on how digital comics can be consumed. As of present, the systems capable of doing such a task are limited in capability to achieve complete digitization. This task of digitization ...
IEEE2019epsilon-Coresets for Clustering (with Outliers) in Doubling Metrics
We study the problem of constructing epsilon-coresets for the (k, z)-clustering problem in a doubling metric M(X, d). An epsilon-coreset is a weighted subset S subset of X with weight function w : S -> R->= 0, such that for any k-subset C is an element of ...
