Abstract
We present a simple and effective method for constructing a gallery that consists of weathering effect elements called time-dependent appearance manifolds (TDAMs). Since TDAMs are computed from sample video clips showing dynamic weathering phenomena, they represent very smooth changes in the appearance of weathered pixels over time. Once a gallery with a variety of weathering effects is prepared, users can interactively choose and apply the predefined effects onto the surface of 3D graphic models and then finally assign the most appropriate one. This video-based weathering method can be implemented with very simple algorithms and it supports predictable, intuitive, and natural effects. Our system allows users to produce photorealistic augmented videos that include 3D graphic models weathered by our method. Moreover, users can easily enhance the realism of the augmented videos by manipulating rendering parameters such as the degree of weathering, texturing, lighting, and shadowing through user-friendly graphical user interfaces (GUIs).
