Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) have shown promise in novel view synthesis, but it still face challenges when applied to refractive objects. The presence of refraction disrupts multiview consistency, often resulting in renderings that are either blurred or ...

While modern rendering systems are efficient for modeling complex light paths in complex environments, the rendering of refractive caustics still takes a long time. Caustics are light patterns that occur when light is refracted and reflected from ...

This paper introduces a new process, environment matting, which captures not just a foreground object and its traditional opacity matte from a real-world scene, but also a description of how that object refracts and reflects light, which we call an ...

We tackle the problem of generating novel-view images from collections of 2D images showing refractive and reflective objects. Current solutions assume opaque or transparent light transport along straight paths following the emission-absorption model. ...

A unique challenge in creating high-quality animatable and relightable 3D avatars of real people is modeling human eyes, particularly in conjunction with the surrounding periocular face region. The challenge of synthesizing eyes is multifold as it ...

This talk discusses in-detail the transparencies pipeline of Cyberpunk 2077. We present a high-level overview of the system, and then provide details on individual components. Particularly, we discuss our take on decoupled particle lighting (DPL), our ...

By temporally integrating information about pupil contours extracted from eye images, model-based methods for glint-free gaze estimation can mitigate pupil detection noise. However, current approaches require time-consuming iterative solving of a ...

This groovy graphics assignment introduces transmissive rays to a basic reflective ray tracer. The assignment is groovy because it introduces transparent objects, application of Snell's Law, and allows for testing of advanced variations (e.g., Schlick's ...

Model-based methods for glint-free gaze estimation typically infer eye pose using pupil contours extracted from eye images. Existing methods, however, either ignore or require complex hardware setups to deal with refraction effects occurring at the ...

The short film Piper tells the story of a young sandpiper's first interaction with lapping water. The story is a rhythmic interplay between animated characters and water effects, whether realistic or caricatured. We describe our approach to creating ...

The behavior of light rays obeying Snell's law in a medium made up of two materials with different refractive indices and which are arranged in a periodic chessboard pattern is described. The analysis is in some ways analogous to the study of rational ...

In this article, a double-metallic-layered Huygens' surface Huygens' surface that efficiently refracts normally incident electromagnetic waves at the telecommunication frequency of 25 GHz is reported. The phase gradient along the interface is controlled ...

While for the evaluation of robustness of eye tracking algorithms the use of real-world data is essential, there are many applications where simulated, synthetic eye images are of advantage. They can generate labelled ground-truth data for appearance ...

Translucent objects such as fog, smoke, glass, ice, and liquids are pervasive in cinematic environments because they frame scenes in depth and create visually compelling shots. Unfortunately, they are hard to simulate in real-time and have thus ...

Most standard procedures of stereo image processing are not applicable in under underwater 3D measurement tasks. Due to refraction, the collinearity of an image point on the sensor, the camera projection centre and the 3D object point is not fulfilled. ...

In underwater environments, cameras need to be confined in an underwater housing, viewing the scene through a piece of glass. In case of flat port underwater housings, light rays entering the camera housing are refracted twice, due to different medium ...

Managing rule chaining, especially in presence of recursion, is a common difficulty when authoring rule based applications. For this reason, production systems implement strategies such as refraction to control rule activation repeatability. In this ...

Refraction causes random dynamic distortions in atmospheric turbulence and in views across a water interface. The latter scenario is experienced by submerged animals seeking to detect prey or avoid predators, which may be airborne or on land. Man ...

This paper introduces a novel graphics rendering pipeline applied to augmented reality, based on a real time ray tracing paradigm. Ray tracing techniques process pixels independently from each other, allowing an easy integration with image-based ...

This issue features four articles on material appearance, which is important in many computer graphics applications. Two articles on general methods consider two distinct issues: measurement and efficient rendering. The other articles examine two ...
