Natural Lighting and Medieval Glass - Scientific Data Acquisition, Methodology and Physically Based Rendering

چکیده
Fundamental optical properties of materials are described by intrinsic parameters that can be concentrated in only one notion: the components of the complex dielectric tensor. Such a notion is relevant in any cases and we shall give examples of applications in the cultural heritage field. Modern glasses characterization and ancient or medieval glasses studies are described in terms of the general methodology exposed. After a great success in application to metals and alloys last 15 years, the limits and advantages of the ellipsometric measurements are described. The interaction of light with materials defined by their intrinsic (fundamental optical properties) and extrinsic (mainly geometrical whatever the scale of observation) properties is the internal engine of the simulation software. The computed images inserted in the text are obtained with the free and opensource spectral software Virtuelium, developed at Ecole Centrale Paris.

Natural Lighting, Gilts and Polychromy of Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral
Lighting either natural or not in the european medieval architecture (roman period) is studied and simulated around a special and famous example. "Notre-Dame de Paris" cathedral and its polychromy are studied for many years and, today the remains of polychromy are very reduced. This prestigious monument is then a unique opportunity to study the complex relationships between light, paint and gil...
متن کاملUsing physically Based Rendering to Benchmark Structured Light Scanners
Structured light scanning is ubiquituous in 3D acquisition. It is capable of capturing high geometric detail at a low cost under a variety of challenging scene conditions. Recent methods have demonstrated robustness in the presence of artifacts due to global illumination, such as inter-reflections and sub-surface scattering, as well as imperfections caused by projector defocus. For comparing ap...

Using Pixel-Planes 5, a parallel multicomputer for computer graphics [Fuchs 90], we have constructed a system for visualizing volumetric medical data based on polygonal approaches to surface rendering. The goal is a medical visualization system that has intuitive navigation and exploration capabilities to present 3D clinical data using three dimensional images. To provide a natural navigation o...
متن کاملInteractive direct volume rendering with physically - based lighting
The field of volume visualization has undergone rapid development during the past years, both due to advances in suitable computing hardware and due to the increasing availability of large volume datasets. Recent work has focused on increasing the lighting realism in interactive raycasting by integrating a number of visually plausible but often effect-specific optimizations. These improvements ...
متن کاملVerification of Physically Based Rendering Algorithms
Within computer graphics, the field of predictive rendering is concerned with those methods of image synthesis that yield results that do not only look real, but are also radiometrically correct renditions of nature, i.e. which are accurate predictions of what a real scene would look like under given lighting conditions. In order to guarantee the correctness of the results obtained by such tech...
