Given a grayscale photograph as input, this paper attacks the problem of hallucinating a
plausible color version of the photograph. This problem is clearly underconstrained, so …

Almost all mesh processing procedures cause some more or less visible changes in the
appearance of objects represented by polygonal meshes. In many cases, such as mesh …

View-dependent effects such as reflections pose a substantial challenge for image-based
and neural rendering algorithms. Above all, curved reflectors are particularly hard, as they …

We propose split-brain autoencoders, a straightforward modification of the traditional
autoencoder architecture, for unsupervised representation learning. The method adds a split …

Visual metrics can play an important role in the evaluation of novel lighting, rendering, and
imaging algorithms. Unfortunately, current metrics only work well for narrow intensity ranges …

Visual quality evaluation has numerous uses in practice, and also plays a central role in
sha** many visual processing algorithms and systems, as well as their implementation …

We exploit the falloff of acuity in the visual periphery to accelerate graphics computation by a
factor of 5-6 on a desktop HD display (1920x1080). Our method tracks the user's gaze point …

The appearance of surfaces in real-world scenes is determined by the materials, textures,
and context in which the surfaces appear. However, the datasets we have for visualizing and …

We present a user-friendly image editing system that supports a drag-and-drop object
insertion (where the user merely drags objects into the image, and the system automatically …

The diversity of display technologies and introduction of high dynamic range imagery
introduces the necessity of comparing images of radically different dynamic ranges. Current …
