Visual Computing

We propose Paxel, a generic framework for modeling the interaction between a projector and a high-frequency pattern surface.

We propose an end-to-end solution for presenting movie quality animated graphics to the user while still allowing the sense of presence afforded by free viewpoint head motion.

We introduce computational display approaches to overcome technical limitations of current projection hardware in terms of dynamic range, refresh rate, spatial resolution, depth-of-field, view dependency, and color space.

We present a coherent survey of methods that utilize Monte Carlo integration for estimating light transport in scenes containing participating media.

We provide an in-depth overview of the underlying concepts of real-world image formation, and we discuss common assumptions and simplifications that make these algorithms practical.

This paper presents an approach to directly estimate an HDR light probe from a single LDR photograph, shot outdoors with a consumer camera, without specialized calibration targets or equipment.

This paper presents a story version control and graphical visualization framework to enhance collaborative story authoring.

In this paper, we propose a scalable method for streaming light€field video, parameterized on viewer location and time, that efficiently handles RAM-to-GPU memory transfers of light€field video in a compressed form, utilizing the GPU architecture for reduction of latency.

We explore interacting with virtual characters in AR along real-world environments.

We present a technique for efficiently synthesizing images of atmospheric clouds using a combination of Monte Carlo integration and neural networks.
