The optics of correlated disordered media is a conceptually rich research topic emerging at
the interface between the physics of waves in complex media and nanophotonics. Inspired …

Physics-based differentiable rendering is the task of estimating the derivatives of radiometric
measures with respect to scene parameters. The ability to compute these derivatives is …

We develop a theory for the representation of opaque solids as volumes. Starting from a
stochastic representation of opaque solids as random indicator functions we prove the …

The unique and visually mesmerizing appearance of pearlescent materials has made them
an indispensable ingredient in a diverse array of applications including packaging …

We introduce a novel transmittance model to improve the volumetric representation of 3D
scenes. The model can represent opaque surfaces in the volumetric light transport …

Efficient scene representations are essential for many computer graphics applications. A
general unified representation that can handle both surfaces and volumes simultaneously …

Participating media are frequent in real-world scenes, whether they contain milk, fruit juice,
oil, or muddy water in a river or the ocean. Incoming light interacts with these participating …

Stochastic geometry models have enjoyed immense success in graphics for modeling
interactions of light with complex phenomena such as participating media, rough surfaces …

We present a spectral measurement approach for the bulk optical properties of translucent
materials using only low-cost components. We focus on the translucent inks used in full …

We present an in-depth analysis of the sources of variance in state-of-the-art unbiased
volumetric transmittance estimators, and propose several new methods for improving their …
