We introduce a method for actively controlling the illumination in a room so that it is consistent with a virtual world. In combination with a high dynamic range display, the system produces both uniform and directional ...

We apply simplified image-based lighting methods to reduce the equipment, cost, time, and specialized skills required for high-quality photographic lighting of desktop-sized static objects such as museum artifacts. We place ...

As image-based surface reflectance and illumination gain wider use in physically-based rendering systems, it is becoming more critical to provide representations that allow sampling light paths according to the distribution ...

We present a novel non-photorealistic rendering method that performs all operations in a geometry-image domain. We first apply global conformal parameterization to the input geometry model and generate corresponding geometry ...

Despite the importance of from-region visibility computation in computer graphics, efficient analytic methods are still lacking in the general 3D case. Recently, different algorithms have appeared that maintain occlusion ...

We present a new method for colorizing grayscale images by transferring color from a segmented example image. Rather than relying on a series of independent pixel-level decisions, we develop a new strategy that attempts ...

Fast global illumination computation is a challenge in several fields such as lighting simulation and computergenerated visual effects for movies. To this end, the irradiance caching algorithm is commonly used since it ...

We present an interactive system for fully dynamic scene lighting using captured high dynamic range (HDR) video environment maps. The key component of our system is an algorithm for efficient decomposition of HDR video ...

We describe a novel data structure for representing light transport called ray map. The ray map extends the concept of photon maps: it stores not only photon impacts but the whole photon paths. We demonstrate the utility ...

3D Face modeling is still one of the biggest challenges in computer graphics. In this paper we present a novel framework that acquires the 3D shape, texture, pose and illumination of a face from a single photograph. ...
