Advances in computer graphics enable us to create digital images of astonishing complexity
and realism. However, processing resources are still a limiting factor. Hence, many costly …

The ultimate goal of many image-based modeling systems is to render photo-realistic novel
views of a scene without visible artifacts. Existing evaluation metrics and benchmarks focus …

Synthetically generating images and video frames of complex 3D scenes using some photo‐
realistic rendering software is often prone to artifacts and requires expert knowledge to tune …

The way images are perceived by a human observer is becoming increasingly important in
visual media, eg for (photo-) realistic image synthesis or memory-efficient encoding of large …

Mobile phones and tablets are rapidly gaining significance as omnipresent image and video
capture devices. In this context we present an algorithm that allows such devices to capture …

Stitched omnidirectional images are created by capturing overlap** images and
seamlessly merging them together. When observing stitched omnidirectional images, users …

Image‐based rendering (IBR) techniques allow users to create interactive 3D visualizations
of scenes by taking a few snapshots. However, despite substantial progress in the field, the …

Multi-focus image fusion aims to integrate the clear regions in differently focused images into
a full-focus image. To distinguish subtle changes in sharpness due to bokeh, a multi-focus …

Film sequences generated using image-based rendering techniques are commonly used in
broadcasting, especially for sporting events. In many cases, however, image-based rending …

Recent advancements in real-time ray tracing and deep learning have significantly
enhanced the realism of computer-generated images. However, conventional 3D computer …
