    • Compressive Image Reconstruction in Reduced Union of Subspaces 

      Miandji, Ehsan; Kronander, Joel; Unger, Jonas (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
      We present a new compressed sensing framework for reconstruction of incomplete and possibly noisy images and their higher dimensional variants, e.g. animations and light-fields. The algorithm relies on a learning-based ...
    • Extracting Microfacet-based BRDF Parameters from Arbitrary Materials with Power Iterations 

      Dupuy, Jonathan; Heitz, Eric; Iehl, Jean-Claude; Poulin, Pierre; Ostromoukhov, Victor (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
      We introduce a novel fitting procedure that takes as input an arbitrary material, possibly anisotropic, and automatically converts it to a microfacet BRDF. Our algorithm is based on the property that the distribution of ...
    • IlluminationCut 

      Bus, Norbert; Mustafa, Nabil H.; Biri, Venceslas (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
      We present a novel algorithm, IlluminationCut, for rendering images using the many-lights framework. It handles any light source that can be approximated with virtual point lights (VPLs) as well as highly glossy materials. ...
    • Partitioned Shadow Volumes 

      Gerhards, Julien; Mora, Frédéric; Aveneau, Lilian; Ghazanfarpour, Djamchid (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
      Real-time shadows remain a challenging problem in computer graphics. In this context, shadow algorithms generally rely either on shadow mapping or shadow volumes. This paper rediscovers an old class of algorithms that build ...
    • Path-space Motion Estimation and Decomposition for Robust Animation Filtering 

      Zimmer, Henning; Rousselle, Fabrice; Jakob, Wenzel; Wang, Oliver; Adler, David; Jarosz, Wojciech; Sorkine-Hornung, Olga; Sorkine-Hornung, Alexander (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
      Renderings of animation sequences with physics-based Monte Carlo light transport simulations are exceedingly costly to generate frame-by-frame, yet much of this computation is highly redundant due to the strong coherence ...
    • Physically Meaningful Rendering using Tristimulus Colours 

      Meng, Johannes; Simon, Florian; Hanika, Johannes; Dachsbacher, Carsten (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
      In photorealistic image synthesis the radiative transfer equation is often not solved by simulating every wavelength of light, but instead by computing tristimulus transport, for instance using sRGB primaries as a basis. ...
    • Realtime Rendering Glossy to Glossy Reflections in Screen Space 

      Xu, Chao; Wang, Rui; Bao, Hujun (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
      Glossy to glossy reflections are lights bounced between glossy surfaces. Such directional light transports are important for humans to perceive glossy materials, but difficult to simulate. This paper proposes a new method ...
    • Stochastic Soft Shadow Mapping 

      Liktor, Gabor; Spassov, Stanislav; Mückl, Gregor; Dachsbacher, Carsten (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
      In this paper, we extend the concept of pre-filtered shadow mapping to stochastic rasterization, enabling real-time rendering of soft shadows from planar area lights. Most existing soft shadow mapping methods lose important ...
    • Towards Automatic Band-Limited Procedural Shaders 

      Dorn, Jonathan; Barnes, Connelly; Lawrence, Jason; Weimer, Westley (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
      Procedural shaders are a vital part of modern rendering systems. Despite their prevalence, however, procedural shaders remain sensitive to aliasing any time they are sampled at a rate below the Nyquist limit. Antialiasing ...
    • Unifying Color and Texture Transfer for Predictive Appearance Manipulation 

      Okura, Fumio; Vanhoey, Kenneth; Bousseau, Adrien; Efros, Alexei A.; Drettakis, George (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
      Recent color transfer methods use local information to learn the transformation from a source to an exemplar image, and then transfer this appearance change to a target image. These solutions achieve very successful results ...
    • Virtual Spherical Gaussian Lights for Real-time Glossy Indirect Illumination 

      Tokuyoshi, Yusuke (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
      Virtual point lights (VPLs) are well established for real-time global illumination. However, this method suffers from spiky artifacts and flickering caused by singularities of VPLs, highly glossy materials, high-frequency ...
    • Visualization of Particle-based Data with Transparency and Ambient Occlusion 

      Staib, Joachim; Grottel, Sebastian; Gumhold, Stefan (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
      Particle-based simulation techniques, like the discrete element method or molecular dynamics, are widely used in many research fields. In real-time explorative visualization it is common to render the resulting data using ...
