The emergence of 3D Gaussian splatting (3DGS) has greatly accelerated rendering in novel
view synthesis. Unlike neural implicit representations like neural radiance fields (NeRFs) …

By inserting a microlens array at the intermediate image plane of an optical microscope, one
can record four‐dimensional light fields of biological specimens in a single snapshot. Unlike …

The fidelity of relighting is bounded by both geometry and appearance representations. For
geometry both mesh and volumetric approaches have difficulty modeling intricate structures …

In this article, we provide a detailed survey of 3D Morphable Face Models over the 20 years
since they were first proposed. The challenges in building and applying these models …

Thoroughly revised, this third edition focuses on modern techniques used to generate
synthetic three-dimensional images in a fraction of a second. With the advent of …

This comprehensive work provides the fundamentals of computer facial animation and
brings into sharper focus techniques that are becoming mainstream in the industry. Over the …

Simulating human hair is recognized as one of the most difficult tasks in computer animation.
In this paper, we show that the Kirchhoff equations for dynamic, inextensible elastic rods can …

Realistic hair modeling is a fundamental part of creating virtual humans in computer
graphics. This paper surveys the state of the art in the major topics of hair modeling …

Our goal is to simulate the full hair geometry, consisting of approximately one hundred
thousand hairs on a typical human head. This will require scalable methods that can …

Computer graphics systems are capable of generating stunningly realistic images of objects
that have never physically existed. In order for computers to create these accurately detailed …
