Virtual View Generation with a Hybrid Camera Array

Engin Tola, Zeyu Zhang

Virtual view synthesis from an array of cameras has been an essential element of three-dimensional video broadcasting/conferencing. In this paper, we propose a scheme based on a hybrid camera array consisting of four regular video cameras and one time-of-f ...

Specularities as an information source in the presence of texture

Pascal Lagger

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, ...

Efficient Product Importance Sampling using Hierarchical Thresholding

We present an efficient method for importance sampling the product of multiple functions. Our algorithm computes a quick approximation of the product on-the-fly, based on hierarchical representations of the Local maxima and averages of the individual terms ...

3D pose refinement from reflections

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Vincent Lepetit, Pascal Lagger

We demonstrate how to exploit reflections for accurate registration of shiny objects: The lighting environment can be retrieved from the reflections under a distant illumination assumption. Since it remains unchanged when the camera or the object of intere ...

Kubelka-Munk model for imperfectly diffuse light distribution in paper

Roger Hersch, Lin Yang

Perfectly diffuse light is a fundamental assumption in the Kubelka-Munk (KM) modeL This assumption is, however seldom fulfilled by real media. In this work, we build a bridge between a weakly absorbing medium with an imperfectly diffuse light distribution ...

Making Background Subtraction Robust to Sudden Illumination Changes

Pascal Fua, Christoph Strecha, Julien Pilet

Modern background subtraction techniques can handle gradual illumination changes but can easily be confused by rapid ones. We propose a technique that overcomes this limitation by relying on a statistical model, not of the pixel intensities, but of the ill ...

Tone Mapping For High Dynamic Range Displays

Sabine Süsstrunk, Laurence Meylan

We address the problem of re-rendering images to high dynamic range (HDR) displays, which were originally tone-mapped to standard displays. As these new HDR displays have a much larger dynamic range than standard displays, an image rendered to standard mon ...

Principles of Monte-Carlo ray-tracing simulations of quantum dot solar concentrators

Andreas Schueler, André Gabriel Kostro, Estelle De Chambrier, Charu Datta Galande

A tool for ray tracing simulations of quantum dot solar concentrators is developed on the basis of Monte-Carlo methods that are applied to polarization-dependent reflection/transmission at interfaces, photon absorption by the semiconductor nanocrystals and ...

Effects of alpine hydropower operations on primary production in a downstream lake

Alfred Johny Wüest, Beat Mueller, Martin Schmid

During the past century, the construction of hydropower dams in the watershed of Lake Brienz has significantly altered the dynamics of turbidity, which has important implications for lake productivity. To assess these effects, we measured in situ carbon as ...

Tone mapping for high dynamic range images

Laurence Meylan

Tone mapping is an essential step for the reproduction of "nice looking" images. It provides the mapping between the luminances of the original scene to the output device's display values. When the dynamic range of the captured scene is smaller or larger t ...
