Colour Mapping: A Review of Recent Methods, Extensions and Applications

The objective of colour mapping or colour transfer methods is to recolour a given image or video by deriving a mapping between that image and another image serving as a reference. These... Read more »

Extracting Microfacet-based BRDF Parameters from Arbitrary Materials with Power Iterations

We introduce a novel fitting procedure that takes as input an arbitrary material, possibly anisotropic, and automatically converts it to a microfacet BRDF. Our algorithm is based on the property that the... Read more »

Wavelet Point-Based Global Illumination

Point-Based Global Illumination (PBGI) is a popular rendering method in special effects and motion picture productions. This algorithm provides a diffuse global illumination solution by caching radiance in a mesh-less hierarchical data... Read more »

Radiometric Transfer: Example-based Radiometric Linearization of Photographs

We present an example-based approach for radiometrically linearizing photographs that takes as input a radiometrically linear exemplar image and a target regular uncalibrated image of the same scene, possibly from a different... Read more »

Modeling Luminance Perception at Absolute Threshold

When human luminance perception operates close to its absolute threshold, i. e., the lowest perceivable absolute values, appearance changes substantially compared to common photopic or scotopic vision. In particular, most observers report... Read more »

Motion Aware Exposure Bracketing for HDR Video

Mobile phones and tablets are rapidly gaining significance as omnipresent image and video capture devices. In this context we present an algorithm that allows such devices to capture high dynamic range (HDR)... Read more »

Manifold Next Event Estimation

We present manifold next event estimation (MNEE), a specialised technique for Monte Carlo light transport simulation to render refractive caustics by connecting surfaces to light sources (next event estimation) across transmissive interfaces.... Read more »

Unifying Color and Texture Transfer for Predictive Appearance Manipulation

Recent color transfer methods use local information to learn the transformation from a source to an exemplar image, and then transfer this appearance change to a target image. These solutions achieve very... Read more »

Path-space Motion Estimation and Decomposition for Robust Animation Filtering

Renderings of animation sequences with physics-based Monte Carlo light transport simulations are exceedingly costly to generate frame-by-frame, yet much of this computation is highly redundant due to the strong coherence in space,... Read more »
