GigaPan Stitch stitches together hundreds or thousands of overlapping images to create a very-high-resolution mosaic image. Without correction, such mosaics can be marred by vignetting (darkening of photographs in the lens periphery). Fortunately, it is possible to infer the vignetting attenuation function from the image overlaps and apply correction during blending. This workshop presents an algorithm for vignette correction that is fast, robust, and automatic.

Photochromic sculpture, which consists of a presentation part composed of laminated transparent plates coated with photochromic material granules and a control part for projecting UV light patterns that color volumetric pixels, can generate a dynamically changeable three-dimensional sculpture.

A novel interactive tool for garment design that enables interactive bidirectional editing between 2D patterns and 3D high-fidelity simulated draped forms. Artists can now interactively edit 2D pattern designs and immediately obtain stable, accurate online feedback.

A technique for making model reduction of FEM deformable objects undergoing large deformations adaptable in space. The object is decomposed into several domains, which are reduced independently, and combined with elastic and inertial coupling. The method can simulate rich, detailed deformations of complex structures at hard real-time rates.

Using particles with orientation enables simulation of rigid, plastic, and soft bodies as well as one-, two-, and three-dimensional structures with only a few simulation nodes. In addition, the system uses orientation information to robustly skin visual meshes and increase the accuracy of the particle-based collision volume.

With this method for learning linear upsampling operators in physically based cloth simulation, coarse meshes are enriched with mid-scale details in minimal time and memory budgets, as required in computer games.

This course summarizes five cutting-edge projects that apply compiler technology to improve the performance and functionality of renderers and shading systems. Several of the projects use LLVM, so the course begins with a gentle introduction to LLVM architecture and concepts. Topics include: customizing shading languages for global illumination and other advanced rendering, analysis of shaders so that renderers may perform physically based light transport in correct units, automatic differentiation, and use of LLVM and dynamic code generation for improved shader performance.
