Abstract Machine learning has played an essential role in the past decades and has been in
lockstep with the main advances in computer technology. Given the massive amount of data …

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 …

We consolidate an unorganized point cloud with noise, outliers, non-uniformities, and in
particular interference between close-by surface sheets as a preprocess to surface …

We present an algorithm for curve skeleton extraction from imperfect point clouds where
large portions of the data may be missing. Our construction is primarily based on a novel …

Indirect illumination is an important element for realistic image synthesis, but its computation
is expensive and highly dependent on the complexity of the scene and of the BRDF of the …

Mimicking the appearance of the real world is a longstanding goal of computer graphics,
with several important applications in the feature film, architecture and medical industries …

We present radiance regression functions for fast rendering of global illumination in scenes
with dynamic local light sources. A radiance regression function (RRF) represents a non …

We present a fast and simple filtering method designed for ray traced Monte Carlo global
illumination images which achieves real-time rates. Even on modern hardware only few …

We introduce Neural Radiosity, an algorithm to solve the rendering equation by minimizing
the norm of its residual, similar as in classical radiosity techniques. Traditional basis …

Important elements of games, movies, and other computer-generated content, shadows are
crucial for enhancing realism and providing important visual cues. In recent years, there …
