Efficient and Accurate Physically-Based Differentiable Rendering

Physically-based rendering algorithms generate photorealistic images of virtual scenes. By simulating light paths in a scene, complex physical effects such as shadows, reflections and volumetric scattering can be reproduced. Over the last decade, physicall ...

Dr.Jit: A Just-In-Time Compiler for Differentiable Rendering

Wenzel Alban Jakob, Nicolas Julien Roussel, Delio Aleardo Vicini, Sébastien Nicolas Speierer

Dr.Jit is a new just-in-time compiler for physically based rendering and its derivative. Dr.Jit expedites research on these topics in two ways: first, it traces high-level simulation code (e.g., written in Python) and aggressively simplifies and specialize ...

Light Path Gradients for Forward and Inverse Rendering

Tizian Lucien Zeltner

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 ...

Image-Based Acquisition and Modeling of Polarimetric Reflectance

Wenzel Alban Jakob, Tizian Lucien Zeltner, Xin Tong

Realistic modeling of the bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) of scene objects is a vital prerequisite for any type of physically based rendering. In the last decades, the availability of databases containing real-world material measurem ...

Wide Gamut Spectral Upsampling with Fluorescence

Wenzel Alban Jakob

Physically based spectral rendering has become increasingly important in recent years. However, asset textures in such systems are usually still drawn or acquired as RGB tristimulus values. While a number of RGB to spectrum upsampling techniques are availa ...

An in-depth analysis of single-image subjective quality assessment of light field contents

Touradj Ebrahimi, Irene Viola

Quality assessment of light field images poses new questions and challenges, due to the enriched nature of the content and the possibilities it offers at the rendering step. Image-based rendering is conventionally used to showcase the increased capabilitie ...

Adequacy of Immersive Virtual Reality for the Perception of Daylit Spaces: Comparison of Real and Virtual Environments

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Kynthia Chamilothori

This article presents a novel experimental method that uses a virtual reality (VR) headset, aiming to provide an alternative environment for the conduction of subjective assessments of daylit spaces. This method can overcome the difficulty of controlling t ...

Context Aware, Multimodal, and Semantic Rendering Engine

Patrick Salamin

Nowadays, several techniques exist to render digital content such as graphics, audio, haptic, etc. Unfortunately, they require different faculties that cannot always be applied, e.g. providing a picture to a blind person would be useless. In this thesis, w ...

Context aware, multimodal, and semantic rendering engine

Daniel Thalmann, Patrick Salamin

Nowadays, several techniques exist to render digital content such as graphics, audio, haptic, etc. Unfortunately, they require different faculties that cannot always be applied, e.g. providing a picture to a blind person would be useless. In this paper, we ...

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 ...
