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 …

Recent advances in computational imaging have significantly expanded our ability to image
through scattering layers such as biological tissues by exploiting the auto-correlation …

Diffuse optical methods including speckle contrast optical spectroscopy and tomography
(SCOS and SCOT), use speckle contrast (κ) to measure deep blood flow. In order to design …

Physically accurate rendering often calls for taking the wave nature of light into
consideration. In computer graphics, this is done almost exclusively locally, ie on a …

Tremendous effort has been extended by the computer graphics community to advance the
level of realism of material appearance reproduction by incorporating increasingly more …

Coherent images of scattering materials, such as biological tissue, typically exhibit high-
frequency intensity fluctuations known as speckle. These seemingly noise-like speckle …

Today's rendering and light transport frameworks are formulated strictly under the context of
ray optics. However, many applications often call for taking the wave nature of light into …

We introduce rendering algorithms for the simulation of speckle statistics observed in
scattering media under coherent near-field imaging conditions. Our work is motivated by the …

Light scattering in participating media and translucent materials is typically modeled using
the radiative transfer theory. Under the assumption of independent scattering between …
