Mobile devices such as smartphones are increasingly being used for immersive content consumption, mostly involving 360^o̱ video and 3D audio media delivery. However these smartphones, especially low-cost ones, are still not able to provide the ...

Virtual reality can be a very effective tool for professional training, especially when training performed in reality would pose a high risk for the trainees. However, efficient use of VR in practical industrial training requires high-quality VR ...

Photorealistic style transfer synthesizes a new image from a pair of content and style images. The transfer should express the visual patterns in the former while preserving the content details following the latter. However, most existing methods ...

As the world moves away from traditional energy sources, based on fossil fuels, one promising clean alternative source is nuclear fusion. To accelerate the required breakthroughs in that community, numerical simulations and scientific visualizations ...

Photorealistic image stylization concerns transferring style of a reference photo to a content photo with the constraint that the stylized photo should remain photorealistic. While several photorealistic image stylization methods exist, they tend ...

Accurate modeling and rendering of food, and in particular of bread and other baked edible stuff, have not received as much attention as other materials in the photorealistic rendering literature. In particular, bread turns out to be a structurally ...

People are adapting their self-presentation strategies to utilize both online and offline communication in their interactions with strangers, co-workers, family, and friends. One way people communicate online is through the use of instant messaging, ...

The development of powerful and low-cost hardware devices allied with great advances on content editing and authoring tools have promoted the creation of computer generated images (CG) to a degree of unrivaled realism. Differentiating a photo-realistic ...

This paper presents a review of the Photorealistic Augmented Reality field and proposes a solution for interactively rendering virtual objects into dynamic real scenes in a photorealistic way. This solution features a rendering pipeline that comprises ...

With the mindset of merging both aesthetics and technical knowledge to create believable 3D visualisation, a new set of refined Principles of Photorealism are applied to enhance the 3D rendering approach consequently creating realistic yet quick to ...

The question of how to design and implement efficient virtual classroom environments gains a new quality in the light of extensive digital education projects such as the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) initiative. At the core of this consideration is not ...

We addressed the problem of automatically differentiating photographs of real scenes from photographs of paintings. We found that photographs differ from paintings in their color, edge, and texture properties. Based on these features, we trained and ...
