  1. 1. Realistic Real-Time Rendering of Global Illumination and Hair through Machine Learning Precomputations

    Author : Roc Ramon Currius; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Neural Networks; Real-time rendering; Lightfields; Realistic Rendering; Global Illumination; Hair Rendering; Machine Learning;

    Abstract : Over the last decade, machine learning has gained a lot of traction in many areas, and with the advent of new GPU models that include acceleration hardware for neural network inference, real-time applications have also started to take advantage of these algorithms. In general, machine learning and neural network methods are not designed to run at the speeds that are required for rendering in high-performance real-time environments, except for very specific and typically limited uses.

  2. 2. Haptics with Applications to Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery Planning

    Author : Pontus Olsson; Ingrid B. Carlbom; Blake Hannaford; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; medical image processing; haptics; haptic rendering; haptic gripper; visuo-haptic co-location; vibrotactile feedback; surgery simulation; virtual surgery planning; cranio-maxillofacial surgery; Computerized Image Processing; Datoriserad bildbehandling;

    Abstract : Virtual surgery planning systems have demonstrated great potential to help surgeons achieve a better functional and aesthetic outcome for the patient, and at the same time reduce time in the operating room resulting in considerable cost savings. However, the two-dimensional tools employed in these systems today, such as a mouse and a conventional graphical display, are difficult to use for interaction with three-dimensional anatomical images.

  3. 3. Towards Fully Dynamic Surface Illumination in Real-Time Rendering using Acceleration Data Structures

    Author : Pierre Moreau; Parallella System; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer graphics; Real-time; Ray tracing; Caustics; Global illumination;

    Abstract : The improvements in GPU hardware, including hardware-accelerated ray tracing, and the push for fully dynamic realistic-looking video games, has been driving more research in the use of ray tracing in real-time applications. The work described in this thesis covers multiple aspects such as optimisations, adapting existing offline methods to real-time constraints, and adding effects which were hard to simulate without the new hardware, all working towards a fully dynamic surface illumination rendering in real-time.

  4. 4. Algorithmic Improvements for Stochastic Rasterization & Depth Buffering

    Author : Magnus Andersson; Institutionen för datavetenskap; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The field of computer graphics refers to the use of computers to generate realistic-looking images from virtual scenes. Graphics processing units use an algorithm known as rasterization to compute images of scenes viewed from a virtual camera. READ MORE

  5. 5. Performance Improvements for the Rasterization Pipeline

    Author : Jon Hasselgren; Institutionen för datavetenskap; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Rasterization; Computer Graphics; Graphics Hardware;

    Abstract : Performance improvements are always needed in computer graphics. Better performance frees up computational resources which can be used to increase the level of realism in the rendered images. Despite a very rapid development of graphics hardware, we are still far from the point where photo-realistic rendering can be done in real time. READ MORE
