Scanning Inside the Box at SIGGRAPH
SIGGRAPH 2013, the 40th International Conference and Exhibition on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques, occurs in Anaheim, California, from July 21 to 25. Sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery, the conference is expected to…
Dynamic Element Textures
Many natural phenomena consist of geometric elements with dynamic motions characterized by small scale repetitions over large scale structures, such as particles, herds, threads, and sheets. Due to their ubiquity, controlling the appearance and behavior…
Bi-Scale Appearance Fabrication
Surfaces in the real world exhibit complex appearance due to spatial variations in both their reflectance and local shading frames (i.e. the local coordinate system defined by the normal and tangent direction). For opaque surfaces,…
Automated Video Looping with Progressive Dynamism
Given a short video we create a representation that captures a spectrum of looping videos with varying levels of dynamism, ranging from a static image to a highly animated loop. In such a progressively dynamic…
Global Illumination with Radiance Regression Functions
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-linear mapping from local and contextual attributes of surface points,…
