Accurately rendering glossy materials in design applications, where previewing and interactivity are important, remains a major challenge. While many fast global illumination solu...
In this paper, we present a new scheme of data representation for image-based objects. It allows the illumination to be changed interactively without knowing any geometrical infor...
A framework for photo-realistic view-dependent image synthesis of a shiny object from a sparse set of images and a geometric model is proposed. Each image is aligned with the 3D m...
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...
