Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introduction and recent advancements of computational photography have revolutionized the imaging industry. Computational photography is a combination of imaging techniques at the intersection of various fields such as optics, computer vision, and computer graphics. These methods enhance the capabilities of traditional digital photography by applying computational techniques both during and after the capturing process. This thesis targets two major subjects in this field: High Dynamic Range (HDR) image reconstruction and Light Field (LF) compressive capturing, compression, and real-time rendering. The first part of the thesis focuses on the HDR images that concurrently contain detailed information from the very dark shadows to the brightest areas in the scenes. One of the main contributions presented in this thesis is the development of a unified reconstruction algorithm for spatially variant exposures in a single image. This method is based on a camera noise model, and it simultaneously resamples, reconstructs, denoises, and demosaics the image while extending its dynamic range. Furthermore, the HDR reconstruction algorithm is extended to adapt to the local features of the image, as well as the noise statistics, to preserve the high-frequency edges during reconstruction. In the second part of this thesis, the research focus shifts to the acquisition, encoding, reconstruction, and rendering of light field images and videos in a real-time setting. Unlike traditional integral photography, a light field captures the information of the dynamic environment from all angles, all points in space, and all spectral wavelength and time. This thesis employs sparse representation to provide an end-to-end solution to the problem of encoding, real-time reconstruction, and rendering of high dimensional light field video data sets. These solutions are applied on various types of data sets, such as light fields captured with multi-camera systems or hand-held cameras equipped with micro-lens arrays, and spherical light fields. Finally, sparse representation of light fields was utilized for developing a single sensor light field video camera equipped with a color-coded mask. A new compressive sensing model is presented that is suitable for dynamic scenes with temporal coherency and is capable of reconstructing high-resolution light field videos.

Download or read book Entertainment Computing ICEC 2010 written by Hyun Seung Yang and published by Springer. This book was released on 2010-08-26 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 9th International Conference on Entertainment Computing (ICEC 2010) was held in September 2010 in Seoul Korea. After Pittsburgh (2008) and Paris (2009), the event returned to Asia. The conference venue was the COEX Exhibition Hall in one of the most vivid and largest cities of the world. This amazing mega-city was a perfect location for the c- ference. Seoul is on the one hand a metropolitan area with modern industries, univer- ties and great economic power. On the other hand, it is also a place with a very fas- nating historical and cultural background. It bridges the past and the future as well as east and west. Entertainment computing also aims at building bridges from technology to leisure, education, culture and work. Entertainment computing at its core has a strong focus on computer games. However, it is not only about computer games. The last ICEC c- ferences have shown that entertainment computing is a much wider field. For instance in games, technology developed for games can be used for a wide range of appli- tions such as therapy or education. Moreover, entertainment does not necessarily have to be understood as games. Entertainment computing finds its way to stage perfo- ances and all sorts of new interactive installations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume on virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) and gamification for cultural heritage offers an insightful introduction to the theories, development, recent applications and trends of the enabling technologies for mixed reality and gamified interaction in cultural heritage and creative industries in general. It has two main goals: serving as an introductory textbook to train beginning and experienced researchers in the field of interactive digital cultural heritage, and offering a novel platform for researchers in and across the culturally-related disciplines. To this end, it is divided into two sections following a pedagogical model developed by the focus group of the first EU Marie S. Curie Fellowship Initial Training Network on Digital Cultural Heritage (ITN-DCH): Section I describes recent advances in mixed reality enabling technologies, while section II presents the latest findings on interaction with 3D tangible and intangible digital cultural heritage. The sections include selected contributions from some of the most respected scholars, researchers and professionals in the fields of VR/AR, gamification, and digital heritage. This book is intended for all heritage professionals, researchers, lecturers and students who wish to explore the latest mixed reality and gamification technologies in the context of cultural heritage and creative industries. It pursues a pedagogic approach based on trainings, conferences, workshops and summer schools that the ITN-DCH fellows have been following in order to learn how to design next-generation virtual heritage applications, systems and services.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colour perception is fundamental to our everyday experiences, allowing us to communicate and interpret visual information effectively. Yet, replicating these experiences accurately poses a significant challenge, particularly in the context of full-colour 3D printing. Advances in this field have revolutionised the fabrication of customised prosthetic body parts, such as eyes, teeth, and skin features, with profound implications for medical and aesthetic applications. The key to successful 3D printing lies in the digital preview of objects before fabrication, enabling users to assess colour reproduction and quality. However, accurately representing colour in a digital environment is complex, as it depends on numerous factors, including illumination, object shape, surface properties, scene context, and observer characteristics. Traditional methods of previewing conventional 2D prints overlook this complexity. This thesis addresses this challenge by focusing on two types of materials: semitransparent polymers commonly used in 3D printing, and goniochromatic colorants employed in printing to introduce unique effects unattainable with conventional inks for 2D printing. For semitransparent materials, we developed an empirical function to represent colour based on sample thickness, enabling efficient digital representation. Additionally, we adapted a colour measuring device to identify two key material parameters, absorption and scattering coefficients, essential for accurate colour reproduction. Goniochromatic materials, such as thin film-coated mica particles, are slightly more complicated and less predictive in terms of their final colour appearance. Although not yet used in 3D printing, these particles used in conventional printing introduce colour variation while rotating the print. We found that goniochromatic properties can be expressed with an empirically found function after collecting angle-dependent light reflecting properties of the sample. We used this function and showed how prints with goniochromatic materials can be efficiently previewed on a computer monitor.
