报告题目：Efficient and Conservative Fluids Using Bidirectional Mapping

报告摘要：

In this paper, we introduce BiMocq2, an unconditionally stable, pure Eulerian-based advection scheme to efficiently preserve the advection accuracy of all physical quantities for long-term fluid simulations. Our approach is built upon the method of characteristic mapping (MCM).

Instead of the costly evaluation of the temporal charac-teristic integral, we evolve the mapping function itself by solving an  advec-tion equation for the mappings.

Dualmesh characteristics (DMC) method is adopted to more accurately updatethe  mapping.  Furthermore, to avoid visual artifacts like instant blur and temporal inconsistency introduced by re-initialization, we introduce multi-level mapping and back and forth error compensation.

We conduct comprehensive 2D and 3D benchmark experiments to compare against alternative advection schemes. In particular, for the vortical flow and level set experiments, our method outperforms almost all state-of-arthybrid schemes, including FLIP, PolyPic and Particle-Level-Set, at the cost of only two Semi-Lagrangian advections. Additionally, our method does not rely on the particle-grid transfer operations, leading to a highly paralleliz-able pipeline. As a result, more than 45×performance acceleration can beachieved via even a straightforward porting of the code from CPU to GPU.

报告题目：Deep Inverse Rendering for High-resolution SVBRDF Estimation from an Arbitrary Number of Images

报告摘要：

We present a unified deep inverse rendering framework for estimating the spatially-varying appearance properties of a planar exemplar from an arbitrary number of input photographs, ranging from just a single photograph to many photographs. The precision of the estimated appearance scales from plausible when the input photographs fails to capture all the reflectance information, to accurate for large input sets. In this talk, we will introduce the structure of our neural network and apply this model to optimization framework, and we demonstrate and evaluate our deep inverse rendering solution on a wide variety of publicly available datasets.
