Shapes from pixels

Martin Vetterli, Loïc Arnaud Baboulaz, Arash Amini, Mitra Fatemi

Continuous-domain visual signals are usually captured as discrete (digital) images. This operation is not invertible in general, in the sense that the continuous-domain signal cannot be exactly reconstructed based on the discrete image, unless it satisfies ...

VITRAIL : Acquisition, Modelling and Rendering of Stained Glass

Martin Vetterli, Paolo Prandoni, Loïc Arnaud Baboulaz, Niranjan Thanikachalam

Stained glass windows are designed to reveal their powerful artistry under diverse and time-varying lighting conditions; virtual relighting of stained glass, therefore represents an exceptional tool for the appreciation of this age old art form. However, a ...

Method, system and computer program for determining a reflectance distribution function of an object

Martin Vetterli, Paolo Prandoni, Loïc Arnaud Baboulaz

The invention refers to a method for analysing reflected light of an object. First a light angle distribution for a point of the object is determined. Then a plenoptic projector is controlled to illuminate the point of the object with the determined light ...

A Practical Method for Measuring the Spatial Frequency Response of Light Field Cameras

Loïc Arnaud Baboulaz, Sabine Süsstrunk, Damien Firmenich

The spatial frequency response (SFR) is one of the most important and unbiased image quality measures of a digital camera. It evaluates to which extent a lens/sensor combination can resolve scene details. In this paper, we propose a simple and practical me ...

Light Transport Matrix recovery for nearly planar objects

Martin Vetterli, Paolo Prandoni, Loïc Arnaud Baboulaz, Niranjan Thanikachalam

The light transport matrix has become a powerful tool for scene relighting, owing to the versatility of its representational power of various light transport phenomenon. We argue that scenes with an almost planar surface geometry, even with significant amo ...

Optimal Sampling Rates in Infinite-Dimensional Compressed Sensing

Martin Vetterli, Loïc Arnaud Baboulaz, Mitra Fatemi

The theory of compressed sensing studies the problem of recovering a high dimensional sparse vector from its projections onto lower dimensional subspaces. The recently introduced framework of infinite-dimensional compressed sensing [1], to some extent gene ...
