报告题目：Scratch-based Reflection Art via Differentiable Rendering

报告摘要：

The 3D visual optical arts create fascinating special effects by carefully designing interactions between objects and light sources. One of the essential types is 3D reflection art, which aims to create reflectors that can display different images when viewed from different directions. Existing works produce impressive visual effects. In this paper, we introduce a new type of 3D reflection art — scratch-based reflection art, which allows for a more compact parameter space, easier fabrication, and computationally efficient optimization. To design a 3D reflection art with scratches, we formulate it as a multi-view optimization problem and introduce differentiable rendering to enable efficient gradient-based optimizers. For that, we propose an analytical scratch rendering approach, together with a high-performance rendering pipeline, allowing efficient differentiable rendering. As a consequence, we could display multiple images on a single metallic board with only several minutes for optimization. We demonstrate our work by showing virtual objects and manufacturing our designed reflectors with a carving machine.

报告题目：A Practical Wave Optics Reflection Model for Hair and Fur

报告摘要：

In this work, we take an important step to study wave effects from rough fibers with arbitrary 3D microgeometry. We developed a 3D wave optics simulator based on a physical optics approximation, using a GPU-based hierarchical algorithm to greatly accelerate the calculation. It simulates surface reflection and diffractive scattering, which are present in all fibers and typically dominate for darkly pigmented fibers. To practically handle geometry variations in the scene, we propose a model based on wavelet noise, capturing the important statistical features in the simulation results that are relevant for rendering. Our compact noise model can be easily combined with existing scattering models to render hair and fur of various colors, introducing visually important colorful glints that were missing from all previous models.
