Visual realism is defined as the extent to which an image appears to people as a photo
rather than computer generated. Assessing visual realism is important in applications like …

Assessing the visual realism of images is increasingly becoming an essential aspect of
fields ranging from computer graphics (CG) rendering to photo manipulation. In this paper …

What makes an image appear realistic? In this work, we are answering this question from a
data-driven perspective by learning the perception of visual realism directly from large …

Contemporary video games are generally designed with the aim of engendering a state of
immersion in their players. A sense of'presence'is considered to be a prerequisite of total …

Traditionally, computer graphics has been concerned with producing imagery that is as
physically accurate as possible. But accurate physical simulation of geometry, lighting, and …

With success on controlled tasks, deep generative models are being increasingly applied to
humanitarian applications (Nie et al 2017 Int. Conf. on Medical Image Computing and …

One of the main goals of computer graphics research is to develop techniques for creating
images that look real—ie, indistinguishable from photographs. Most existing work on this …

Efficient, realistic rendering of complex scenes is one of the grand challenges in computer
graphics. Perceptually based rendering addresses this challenge by taking advantage of the …

The pixels in an image, and the objects, scenes, and actions that they compose, determine
whether an image will be memorable or forgettable. While memorability varies by image, it is …

Generative models often use human evaluations to measure the perceived quality of their
outputs. Automated metrics are noisy indirect proxies, because they rely on heuristics or …
