A Geometry Dependent Texture Generation Framework for Simulating Surface Imperfections
: To model surface imperfections and weathering, we proposea two-step texture generation framework in between manual texture synthesis and automatic physical simulation. Although t...

Image-based Rendering with Controllable Illumination
: A new image-based rendering method, based on the light field and Lumigraph system, allows illumination to be changed interactively. It does not try to recover or use any geometr...

Interactive Rendering of Globally Illuminated Glossy Scenes
Global illumination simulates all transfers of light in a scene. The results of the simulation are then used to generate photo-realistic images. Scenes with diffuse surfaces only c...

Polyhedral Geometry and the Two-Plane Parameterization
Recently the light-field and lumigraph systems have been proposed as general methods of representing the visual information present in a scene. These methods represent this infor...
