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...
We presen t a multiview method for the computation of object shape and re ectance characteristics based on the integration of shape from shading (SFS) and stereo, for nonconstan t...

Most algorithms for extracting illuminant chromaticity from arbitrary images, such as the images found on the web, are based on machine learning techniques. We will show how a phy...
A rough texture modelling involves a huge image data-set - the Bidirectional Texture Function (BTF). This 6-dimensional function depends on planar texture coordinates as well as o...
Estimating geometric structure from uncalibrated images accurately enough for high quality rendering is difficult. We present a method where only coarse geometric structure is trac...
