This book provides a fundamental understanding of global illumination algorithms. It
discusses a broad class of algorithms for realistic image synthesis and introduces a …

We present a method for interactive computation of indirect illumination in large and fully
dynamic scenes based on approximate visibility queries. While the high-frequency nature of …

We design and implement a comprehensive study of the perception of gloss. This is the
largest study of its kind to date, and the first to use real material measurements. In addition …

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 …

Advances in computer graphics enable us to create digital images of astonishing complexity
and realism. However, processing resources are still a limiting factor. Hence, many costly …

Optical systems used in photography and cinema produce depth-of-field effects, that is,
variations of focus with depth. These effects are simulated in image synthesis by integrating …

The human face is capable of producing an astonishing variety of expressions—expressions
for which sometimes the smallest difference changes the perceived meaning considerably …

For the first time, a new source of random threshold voltage (V th) fluctuation in emerging
metal-gate transistors is identified, analytically modeled and investigated for its device and …

The rendering of effects such as motion blur and depth-of-field requires costly 5D integrals.
We accelerate their computation through adaptive sampling and reconstruction based on …

In recent years, the Graphics community has come to realise the importance of taking human
perception into account when striving for realism in images, animations and Virtual …
