The task of age transformation illustrates the change of an individual's appearance over time. Accurately modeling this complex transformation over an input facial image is extremely challenging as it requires making convincing, possibly large changes to facia...

Imaging systems have long been designed in separated steps: experience-driven optical design followed by sophisticated image processing. Although recent advances in computational imaging aim to bridge the gap in an end-to-end fashion, the image formation model...

Inverse reconstruction from images is a central problem in many scientific and engineering disciplines. Recent progress on differentiable rendering has led to methods that can efficiently differentiate the full process of image formation with respect to millio...

In architectural construction, automated robotic assembly is challenging due to occurring tolerances, small series production and complex contact situations, especially in assembly of elements with form-closure such as timber structures with integral joints. T...

We propose a novel system for portrait relighting and background replacement, which maintains high-frequency boundary details and accurately synthesizes the subject's appearance as lit by novel illumination, thereby producing realistic composite images for any...

Large-scale additive manufacturing for construction has gained momentum during the last two decades as a promising fabrication technology that can save materials, labor, and costs. Although foams are a significant material group in construction and explored in...

We present a real-time neural radiance caching method for path-traced global illumination. Our system is designed to handle fully dynamic scenes, and makes no assumptions about the lighting, geometry, and materials. The data-driven nature of our approach sides...

Most modern commodity imaging systems we use directly for photography—or indirectly rely on for downstream applications—employ optical systems of multiple lenses that must balance deviations from perfect optics, manufacturing constraints, tolerances, cost, and...
