Light Path Gradients for Forward and Inverse Rendering

Physically based rendering is a process for photorealistic digital image synthesis and one of the core problems in computer graphics. It involves simulating the light transport, i.e. the emission, propagation, and scattering of light through a virtual scen ...

Path Replay Backpropagation: Differentiating Light Paths using Constant Memory and Linear Time

Wenzel Alban Jakob, Delio Aleardo Vicini, Sébastien Nicolas Speierer

Differentiable physically-based rendering has become an indispensable tool for solving inverse problems involving light. Most applications in this area jointly optimize a large set of scene parameters to minimize an objective function, in which case revers ...

Texture mapping and IFC material retrievement for virtual reality applications

Sergi Aguacil Moreno, Laurent Deschamps, Sebastian Duque Mahecha, Alexandre Denis Stoll

Most current software support the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) transfer of Building Information Models (BIMs) to applications enabling Virtual Reality (VR) navigation (BuildingSMART, 2020; Kiviniemi, Tarandi, Karlshøj, Bell, and Karud, 2008; Poljanšek ...

Automated ‘Eye-sight’ Venetian blinds based on an embedded photometric device with real-time daylighting computing

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Yujie Wu

Optimal shading control can improve occupants’ visual comfort and increase energy savings on artificial lighting and cooling loads during warm seasons. A highly integrated automated shading system is presented in this paper. Designed to regulate daylightin ...

Accurate recovery of a specularity from a few samples of the reflectance function

Martin Vetterli, Ivan Dokmanic, Loïc Arnaud Baboulaz, Gilles Baechler

We present a new technique for estimating the specular peak of the bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) based on finite rate of innovation (FRI) sampling. The specular component of the BRDF varies rapidly, so it is challenging to acquire ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Étude des fondements physiques possibles des concepts numériques utilisés dans les méthodes d'acoustique géométrique

Thomas Guignard

The subject of the work presented here is the study of the acoustical ray method, which aims at describing a pressure field by an analogy with light rays. The concept of a wave is therefore replaced by the concept of "acoustical rays", whose paths through ...
