Mixed-Dimensionality Approach for Advanced Ray Tracing of Lamellar Structures for Daylighting and Thermal Control
Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Andreas Schueler, André Gabriel Kostro
The appropriate choice of the type of glazing and glazed area in a façade depends on many factors. They include amongst other criteria: location, orientation, climatic condition, energetic efficiency, usage of the building, required user comfort, and the a ...
EPFL Solar Energy and Building Physics Laboratory (LESO-PB)2013Enhanced Omnidirectional Image Reconstruction Algorithm and its Real-Time Hardware
Alexandre Schmid, Yusuf Leblebici, Hossein Afshari, Abdulkadir Akin
Omnidirectional stereoscopy and depth estimation are complex problems of image processing to which the Panoptic camera offers a novel solution. The Panoptic camera is a biologically-inspired vision sensor made of multiple cameras. It is a polydioptric syst ...
2012Parallel Rendering on Hybrid Multi-GPU Clusters
Achieving efficient scalable parallel rendering for interactive visualization applications on medium-sized graphics clusters remains a challenging problem. Framerates of up to 60hz require a carefully designed and fine-tuned parallel rendering implementation ...
The Eurographics Association2012Photo-Realistic Real-time Face Rendering
Face rendering is a really important topic in Computer Graphics because a lot of virtual simulations or video games contain virtual humans. In order to obtain a realistic face, we need to take care of skin rendering. Nowadays, we can use modern 3D scanning ...
2011Progressive Expectation-maximization for Hierarchical Volumetric Photon Mapping
State-of-the-art density estimation methods for rendering participating media rely on a dense photon representation of the radiance distribution within a scene. A critical bottleneck of such kernel-based approaches is the excessive number of photons that a ...
Eurographics Association2011Ray tracing study for non-imaging daylight collectors
Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Friedrich Linhart, Stephen Wittkopf, Raphaël Compagnon, Lars Oliver Grobe
This paper presents a novel method to study how well non-imaging daylight collectors pipe diffuse daylight into long horizontal funnels for illuminating deep buildings. Forward ray tracing is used to derive luminous intensity distributions curves (LIDC) of ...
2010Solar radiation modelling for urban environments
In this paper we briefly describe three alternative techniques for modelling solar radiation in the urban context. These include the use of: (i) simple morphological parameters as indicators of radiation availability, (ii) a ray-tracing program in conjunct ...
Université de Technologie Compiègne2010A Computer-Based Real-Time Simulation of Interventional Radiology
Hannes Bleuler, Lindo Robert Duratti, Fei Wang, Evren Samur
Interventional radiology is a minimally invasive procedure where thin instruments, guidewires and catheters or stents are steered through the patient’s vascular system under X- ray imaging for treatment of vascular diseases. The complexity of these procedu ...
2007Experimental validation of simulation methods for bi-directional transmission properties at the daylighting performance level
The objective of this paper is to assess the capability of existing lighting simulation methods to predict the performance of Complex Fenestration Systems (CFS), whose potential in daylight and sunlight control make them an increasingly popular alternative ...
Elsevier2006Internal illumination prediction based on a simplified radiosity algorithm
This paper describes a new model for predicting natural interior illumination in the urban context. A simplified radiosity algorithm is used to define the external luminous environment and this model structure is used to predict internal illumination from ...
