The atmoRefractor varies the appearance of visual scenes locally by releasing heated air to control the air and create a lensing effect known as heat haze without using a physical interface.

By considering the high density ratio of water to air, this method of bubble-rupture simulation rapidly generates a wave after a bubble has ruptured.

A controlled survey shows the differences in people’s color perception of the controversial striped dress to be age-dependent. This project concluded that individual differences in color perception were caused by light scattering in the eye, which increases with aging.

A new approach for registration of video streams from two RGBD cameras that requires no calibration and is robust to camera movements.

In this new method, dispersion rendering and integral photography (IP) are integrated, and a superb auto-stereoscopic image of a diamond that has both dispersion and scintillation is observed. IP is beneficial not only for displaying auto-stereoscopic images, but also for expressing physics-based dispersion and scintillation.

A hybrid kd-tree construction algorithm that enhances both time and space efficiency of the conventional SAH-based kd-tree, leading to more effective ray tracing.

This work presents some of the unexpected observations from recent research to identify a small number of critical minimum, maximum, and saddle points on a given manifold mesh surface.

A new method with theoretical guarantees to detect features in digital data by analyzing, in scale-space, recent digital curvature estimators with good mathematical properties.

This poster addresses two closely related geometric rationalizations of freeform surfaces with repetitive elements: freeform honeycomb structures and Lobel frames.

This novel approach for image-based relighting uses the lighting controls available in a regular room such as windows and house lights as basis lighting conditions. The system optimizes projection of a desired lighting environment into the sparse room lighting basis to closely approximate the target lighting.

iWood is a novel device and interface that automatically creates a database from acquired data and visualizes it on a 2D-3D map. The system's interactive and intuitive controls allow easy database development.

This poster proposes multi-layered mid-air images that support correct occlusion of front and rear layers. The novel approach uses a half-silvered mirror and a transparent LCD as a dynamic mask to solve color-mixture problems of multi-layered images.

This poster proposes a conversion equation between RGB and RYB color space, and presents compositing methods in RYB color space for easily performing paint-like appearance.

In Phygital Field, an integrated display method that connects the physical and digital worlds, robots change their behavior in accordance with metadata superimposed onto images. The system features three technical innovations: an initialization-free and marker-free display method, the simplicity of the total system, and customizable information transmission.

This digital-reassembly algorithm composes 3D fragments into a complete model. It performs template-guided fragment composition, pairwise fracture-region analysis/matching, and a graph-based groupwise alignment optimization. This work has applications in forensic-evidence processing, archaeological reconstruction, digital-heritage archiving, and other fields.

Extending a Monte Carlo multiple scattering rendering technique for volume rendering with a scheme for generating initial paths to numerically integrate a Feynman path integral.

This virtual head-mounted camera system for automatic facial tracking uses multiple motorized pan/tilt mirrors and computerized zoom and focus lenses on an array of stationary cameras. With this system, an actor's performance can be recorded in detail without a head-mounted camera.
