Visual information, in the form of images and video, comes from the interaction of light with objects. Illumination is a fundamental element of visual information. Detecting and interpreting illumination effects is part of our everyday life visual experien ...
New digital technologies are challenging the traditions of the architectural design methodology, the relationship between context and design, and the dependency on skilled workmanship for the fabrication of beautiful and complex architecture. Intellectuall ...
Efficient collection and redistribution of the direct and diffuse components of daylight in buildings remains a major objective of advanced fenestration systems. Such systems, including novel solar blinds, new glazing or coating materials and daylight-redi ...
We present a virtual digital camera sensor, whose aim is to simulate a real (physical) image capturing sensor.To accomplish this task, the virtual sensor operates in two steps. First, it accepts a physical description of agiven scene and simulates the enti ...
A detailed knowledge of the light distribution characteristics through advanced window systems is required to improve the visual comfort of the building's occupants while controlling the propagation of daylight in rooms and the solar gains. An innovative b ...
This paper presents an unequal error protection scheme for atomic image bitstreams. An atomic stream is the encoded version of a digital image, which is represented as a sum of bi-dimensional functions, as typically generated by Matching Pursuit encoders. ...
Digital video-based luminance mapping systems require the establishment of a precise relation between the considered spatial referential and the associated pixel coordinates on the image. Such a relation may vary with the measurement conditions, and an adj ...
Architectural ornament, the art of decorative patterning, is commonly perceived as an historical characteristic for architecture which declined in the beginning of the 20th century. The lecture of Adolf Loos in 1908 “Ornament and Crime” [1] can certainly b ...

Digitally, panoramic pictures can be assembled from several individual, overlapping photographs. While the geometric alignment of these photographs has retained a lot of attention from the computer vision community, the mapping of colour, i.e. the correcti ...
For annotating a digital image with information from a digital map, features which are visible from a viewer position are extracted from the map. The extracted features are matched with corresponding features in the image, and feature annotations are trans ...
