报告题目：Fractional Gaussian Fields for Modeling and Rendering of Spatially-Correlated Media
报告摘要：
We propose a general, physically-based method for modeling spatially-correlated media with non-exponential decay of transmittance. We describe spatial correlations by introducing the Fractional Gaussian Field (FGF), a powerful mathematical tool that has proven useful in many areas but remains under-explored in graphics. With the FGF, we study the effects of correlations in a unified manner, by modeling both high-frequency, noise-like fluctuations and k-th order fractional Brownian motion (fBm) with a stochastic continuity property. As a result, we are able to reproduce a wide variety of appearances stemming from different types of spatial correlations. Compared to previous work, our method is the first that addresses both short-range and long-range correlations using physically-based fluctuation models. We show that our method can simulate different extents of randomness in spatially-correlated media, resulting in a smooth transition in a range of appearances from exponential falloff to complete transparency. We further demonstrate how our method can be integrated into an energy-conserving RTE framework with a well-designed importance sampling scheme and validate its ability compared to the classical transport theory and previous work.

报告题目：Efficient Rendering of Scattering Effects in Participating Media With Refractive Boundaries
报告摘要：
Illumination effects in translucent materials are a combination of several physical phenomena: refraction at the surface, absorption and scattering inside the material. Because refraction can focus light deep inside the material, where it will be scattered, practical illumination simulation inside translucent materials is difficult. To deal with these effects, we present several methods: 1) We present an a Point-Based Global Illumination method for light transport on homogeneous translucent materials with refractive boundaries. 2) We present a precomputed Multiple Scattering method for existing illumination simulation algorithm. We give examples for virtual ray lights (VRL), photon mapping with beams and paths (UPBP), Metropolis Light Transport with Manifold Exploration (MEMLT). 3) We present a new representation for double and multiple scattering effects that uses a neural network model. Our results show significant improvements in convergence speed and memory costs, with negligible impact on accuracy.
