Photorealistic rendering of real world environments is important in a range of different areas;
including Visual Special effects, Interior/Exterior Modelling, Architectural Modelling, Cultural …

One of the key ingredients of any physically based rendering system is a detailed
specification characterizing the interaction of light and matter of all materials present in a …

Measured materials are rapidly becoming a core component in the photo-realistic image
synthesis pipeline. The reason is that data-driven models can easily capture the underlying …

Currently, rendering systems are able to produce photorealistic simulations of the
appearance of many real-world materials. In the real world, viewer perception of objects …

The scattering of light by a surface is described by the bidirectional reflectance distribution
function (BRDF). Unfortunately, this function cannot be straightforwardly acquired or …

This paper presents a novel sparse non-parametric Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution
Function (BRDF) model derived using a machine learning approach to represent the space …

This thesis presents methods for photorealistic rendering of virtual objects so that they can
be seamlessly composited into images of the real world. To generate predictable and …

Photo-realistic rendering and predictive image synthesis are becoming increasingly
important and utilized in many application areas ranging from production of visual effects …

This book provides beginners in computer graphics and related fields a guide to the
