In this paper we present ADOP, a novel point-based, differentiable neural rendering
pipeline. Like other neural renderers, our system takes as input calibrated camera images …

Thoroughly revised, this third edition focuses on modern techniques used to generate
synthetic three-dimensional images in a fraction of a second. With the advent of …

Ray tracing is an inherent part of photorealistic image synthesis algorithms. The problem of
ray tracing is to find the nearest intersection with a given ray and scene. Although this …

Differentiable renderers provide a direct mathematical link between an object's 3D
representation and images of that object. In this work, we develop an approximate …

Fast, reliable shape reconstruction is an essential ingredient in many computer vision
applications. Neural Radiance Fields demonstrated that photorealistic novel view synthesis …

Important elements of games, movies, and other computer-generated content, shadows are
crucial for enhancing realism and providing important visual cues. In recent years, there …

This chapter describes adaptive volumetric shadow maps (AVSM), a new approach for real-
time shadows that supports high-quality shadowing from dynamic volumetric media such as …

Many rendering phenomena can be modeled with partial coverage. These include flames,
smoke, hair, clouds, properly-filtered silhouettes, non-refractive glass, and special effects …

Rendering bridges the gap between 2D vision and 3D scenes by simulating the physical
process of image formation. By inverting such renderer, one can think of a learning …

This paper presents and investigates Clustered Shading for deferred and forward rendering.
In Clustered Shading, view samples with similar properties (eg 3D-position and/or normal) …
