In this study, we demonstrate the effectiveness of using extended light sources for modeling the appearance of an object for varying illumination. Extended light sources have a ra...
Point-sampled geometry has gained significant interest due to their simplicity. The lack of connectivity touted as a plus, however, creates difficulties in many operations like ge...
While an image's relative surround luminance increases from dark to light, the perceived contrast of the image will increase. For this reason, projected transparencies are ma...
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...
—The present article discusses and details the methodological approaches and the reconstruction strategies that have been employed to realize the 3D real-time virtual simulations...
