We develop a novel method for fitting high-resolution template meshes to detailed human body range scans with sparse 3D markers. We formulate an optimization problem in which the ...
Inverse rendering infers realistic descriptions of illumination and material properties from photographs. However, the applicability of state of the art inverse rendering algorith...
We present a set of techniques for the synthesis of artificial images that depict branching structures like rivers, cracks, lightning, mountain ranges, or blood vessels. The centr...
The visibility function in direct illumination describes the binary visibility over a light source, e.g., an environment map. Intuitively, the visibility is often strongly correla...
Interactive volume rendering methods such as texture-based slicing techniques and ray-casting have been well developed in recent years. The rendering performance is generally restr...
