While realistic illumination significantly improves the visual quality and perception of rendered images, it is often very expensive to compute. In this paper, we propose a new al...
In this paper, we present a two-layer generative model that incorporates generic middle-level visual knowledge for dense stereo reconstruction. The visual knowledge is represented...
Predicting and optimizing the performance of ray shooting is a very important problem in computer graphics due to the severe computational demands of ray tracing and other applicat...
We introduce a new concept for accelerating realistic image synthesis algorithms. At the core of this procedure is a novel physical error metric that correctly predicts the percep...

In daily life, we can see images of real-life objects on posters, television, or virtually any type of smooth physical surfaces. We seldom confuse these images with the objects pe...
