GPU-based rendering for deformable translucent objects

In this paper we introduce an approximate image-space approach for real-time rendering of deformable translucent models by flattening the geometry and lighting information of objects into textures to calculate multi-scattering in texture spaces. We decompose the process into two stages, called the gathering and scattering corresponding to the computations for incident and exident irradiance respectively. We derive a simplified illumination model for the gathering of the incident irradiance, which is amenable for deformable models using two auxiliary textures. In the scattering stage, we adopt two modes for efficient accomplishment of the view-dependent scattering. Our approach is implemented by fully exploiting the capabilities of graphics processing units (GPUs). It achieves visually plausible results and real-time frame rates for deformable models on commodity desktop PCs.     

Haptic two-finger contact with textiles

Real-time cloth simulation involves many computational challenges to be solved, particularly in the context of haptic applications, where high frame rates are necessary for obtaining a satisfying experience. In this paper, we present an interactive cloth simulation system that offers a compromise between a realistic physics-based simulation of fabrics and a haptic application meeting high requirements in terms of computation speed. Our system allows the user to interact with the fabric using two fingers. The required performance of the system is achieved by introducing an intermediate layer responsible for the simulation of the small part of the surface being in contact with the fingers. Additionally we separate the possible contact situations into different cases, each being individually handled by a specialised contact algorithm.

Building Illumination Coherent 3D Models of Large-Scale Outdoor Scenes

Systems for the creation of photorealistic models using range scans and digital photographs are becoming increasingly popular in a wide range of fields, from reverse engineering to cultural heritage preservation. These systems employ a range finder to acquire the geometry information and a digital camera to measure color detail. But bringing together a set of range scans and color images to produce an accurate and usable model is still an area of research with many unsolved problems. In this paper we address the problem of how to build illumination coherent integrated texture maps from images that were taken under different illumination conditions. To achieve this we present two different solutions. The first one is to align all the images to the same illumination, for which we have developed a technique that computes a relighting operator over the area of overlap of a pair of images that we then use to relight the entire image. Our proposed method can handle images with shadows and can effectively remove the shadows from the image, if required. The second technique uses the ratio of two images to factor out the diffuse reflectance of an image from its illumination. We do this without any light measuring device. By computing the actual reflectance we remove from the images any effects of the illumination, allowing us to create new renderings under novel illumination conditions.

一种基于采样点的大规模群体实时三维可视化方法

大规模群体的三维可视化是虚拟现实领域的研究热点之一.目前,由于驱动方法与渲染效率的问题,在虚拟空间中创建的大规模虚拟群体很难同时满足驱动与渲染过程的逼真与实时.该问题对于群体规模庞大,个体外形、动作具有一定程度个性化,需要进行独立运动控制的场景尤为明显.针对这一问题,提出了一个高效的大规模虚拟群体三维可视化方法:首先,通过使用模板派生技术从少量模板模型派生出大量外观各异的个体模型;其次,使用运动数据个性化变形技术实现了运动数据的重用;最后,使用基于采样点的渲染技术实现了大规模数据的实时显示.在上述工作基础上,研究并开发了一套大规模虚拟群体的三维可视化系统,能够方便的在普通PC机上实时、逼真的展示大规模的运动虚拟群体,并实现了60000群众紧急疏散过程的实时三维可视化.

A hybrid rendering algorithm for textile objects

Although realistic textile rendering has been widely used in virtual garment and try-on systems, a robust method to simulate textile with a realistic appearance and high fidelity is yet to be established. We propose to use a novel hybrid geometric- and image-based rendering (GIBR) method to achieve photo realistic representation of textile products. The image-based technique, with its radiance synthesis algorithm, enables us to recover the reflectance properties of textile in an environment photo, and thus can render the appearance of textile material. The geometry-based technique, with its traditional illumination model of assigning illumination parameters extracted from the original scene (such as radiance and chroma dispatch), makes it possible to interactively manipulate 3D virtual objects in the “real” environment. Our realistic textile rendering method has advantages over the traditional ones in its easiness to implement and its wide range of applications.
