A surface light field is a function that assigns a color to each ray originating on a surface.
Surface light fields are well suited to constructing virtual images of shiny objects under …

A light field parameterized on the surface offers a natural and intuitive description of the view-
dependent appearance of scenes with complex reflectance properties. To enable the use of …

Image-based or light field rendering has received much recent attention as an alternative to
traditional geometric methods for modeling and rendering complex objects. A light field …

This paper presents a process for capturing spatially and directionally varying illumination
from a real-world scene and using this lighting to illuminate computer-generated objects. We …

This research further develops the light field and lumigraph image-based rendering methods
and extends their utility. We present alternate parameterizations that permit 1) interactive …

Recently, many image-based modeling and rendering techniques have been successfully
designed to render photo-realistic images without the need for explicit 3D geometry …

A number of techniques have been proposed for flying through scenes by redisplaying
previously rendered or digitized views. Techniques have also been proposed for …

We present a system for interactively acquiring and rendering light fields using a hand‐held
commodity camera. The main challenge we address is assisting a user in achieving good …

Reflections and refractions are important visual effects that have long been considered too
costly for interactive applications. Although most contemporary graphics hardware supports …

Radiance transfer represents how generic source lighting is shadowed and scattered by an
object to produce view-dependent appearance. We generalize by rendering transfer at two …
