报告题目:Towards Real-time Photorealistic 3D Holography with Deep Neural Networks

报告摘要:

We present a deep-learning based method to synthesize photorealistic 3D holograms in real-time on a consumer-grade GPU and interactively on an iPhone. Computer generated holography (CGH) is fundamental to applications such as biosensing, volumetric display, optical/acoustic tweezer, and many others that require spatial control of intricate optical or acoustic fields. For near-eye displays, CGH provides the opportunity to support true 3D projections in a sunglass-like headset. Yet, the conventional approach to compute a true 3D hologram via physical simulation of diffraction and inference is slow and unaware of occlusion. These computational challenges limit the interactiveness and realism of the ultimate immersive experience. In this talk, I will describe techniques to mitigate these challenges, including how to augment the physical simulation algorithm to handle occlusion for RGB-D input, methods to create a large-scale 3D hologram dataset, and design/training of CNNs to speed up 3D hologram synthesis. I will demonstrate high-quality experimentally-captured 3D holograms generated by the proposed system and discuss possible applications and extensions.

报告题目:Light Stage Super-Resolution: Continuous High-Frequency Relighting

报告摘要:

The light stage has been widely used in computer graphics for the past two decades, primarily to enable the relighting of human faces. By capturing the appearance of the human subject under different light sources, one obtains the light transport matrix of that subject, which enables image-based relighting in novel environments. However, due to the finite number of lights in the stage, the light transport matrix only represents a sparse sampling on the entire sphere. As a consequence, relighting the subject with a point light or a directional source that does not coincide exactly with one of the lights in the stage requires interpolation and resampling the images corresponding to nearby lights, and this leads to ghosting shadows, aliased specularities, and other artifacts.
To ameliorate these artifacts and produce better results under arbitrary high-frequency lighting, this paper proposes a learning-based solution for the “super-resolution” of scans of human faces taken from a light stage. Given an arbitrary “query” light direction, our method aggregates the captured images corresponding to neighboring lights in the stage, and uses a neural network to synthesize a rendering of the \changed{face} that appears to be illuminated by a “virtual” light source at the query location.
This neural network must circumvent the inherent aliasing and regularity of the light stage data that was used for training, which we accomplish through the use of regularized traditional interpolation methods within our network.
Our learned model is able to produce renderings for arbitrary light directions that exhibit realistic shadows and specular highlights, and is able to generalize across a wide variety of subjects.
Our super-resolution approach enables more accurate renderings of human subjects under detailed environment maps, or the construction of simpler light stages that contain fewer light sources while still yielding comparable quality renderings as light stages with more densely sampled lights.
