Job description
Controlling
light in an environment is a difficult task, since many aspects such as
materials, light sources, and arrangement have to be considered. The
main objective of our work is to produce novel, interactive solutions
for high-performance light transport computations and accompanying
visual analysis. We will investigate practical aspects, such as
efficient ray-tracing solutions, and search for a theoretical
understanding of the underlying methodologies to derive controllable
tradeoffs between accuracy and performance. To this extent, we will
address the problem from various angles. First, we opt for new
hierarchical approaches and alternative representations for visibility
and transport queries. We recently presented compact and compressed
scene representations and intend to adapt their use to light transport.
Here, we will also focus on alternative representations of material
properties, which are a key ingredient for an efficient and accurate
multi-scale light transport. Secondly, we intend to explore efficient
use of multi-core environments and progressive rendering solutions. The
candidate will have access to a dedicated computer cluster environment.
Third, we want to build upon recent signal reconstruction techniques to
minimise the computational cost of the overall process. Finally, we will
develop specialised techniques to support light transport analysis and
facilitate scene setups.
