Rendering Glints on High-resolution Normal-mapped Specular Surfaces

Wenzel Alban Jakob

Complex specular surfaces under sharp point lighting show a fascinating glinty appearance, but rendering it is an unsolved problem. Using Monte Carlo pixel sampling for this purpose is impractical: the energy is concentrated in tiny highlights that take up ...

High-contrast Computational Caustic Design

Mark Pauly, Andrea Tagliasacchi, Yuliy Gennadievich Schwartzburg, Romain Pierre Testuz

We present a new algorithm for computational caustic design. Our algorithm solves for the shape of a transparent object such that the refracted light paints a desired caustic image on a receiver screen. We introduce an optimal transport formulation to esta ...

Modeling (non-)uniform scattering distributions in geometrical acoustics

Dirk Schröder

In most cases, a surface is not ideally smooth. It rather contains regular and irregular dents, bumps and other textures that influence the reflection of the incident wave. A reflection on such a corrugated surface causes a frequency-dependent redirection ...

Metropolis-Hastings sampling of paths

Michel Bierlaire, Gunnar Flötteröd

We consider the previously unsolved problem of sampling paths according to a given distribution from a general network. The problem is difficult because of the combinatorial number of alternatives, which prohibits a complete enumeration of all paths and he ...

Specular color imaging on a metallic substrate

Roger Hersch, Petar Pjanic

We propose a full reproduction workflow for printing color images on metallic substrates. It relies on an ink spreading enhanced cellular Yule-Nielsen modified spectral Neugebauer model, calibrated with 35 color samples printed on the metal film and measur ...

Limits and artefacts of reflective imaging goniophotometers for complex solar façade systems

Marilyne Andersen, Boris Clément Karamata

The design of systems for solar light collection, modulation and/or distribution requires a thorough knowledge of their optical properties. The angular distribution of the scattered incident light flux, described by the Bidirectional Scattering Distributio ...

Caustic Art

Mark Pauly

The computation of caustics created by reflection or refraction of light is a well-studied problem in computer graphics. This paper investigates the inverse problem: Given a greyscale intensity image, find the shape of a surface that will cast a caustic th ...

Metropolis-Hastings sampling of paths

Michel Bierlaire, Gunnar Flötteröd

We consider the previously unsolved problem of sampling cycle-free paths according to a given distribution from a general network. The problem is difficult because of the combinatorial number of alternatives, which prohibits a complete enumeration of all p ...
