Title:
Modeling, measuring, and rendering the appearance of layered materials
Abstract:
Modeling the appearance of materials that are composed of multiple layers (e.g. e.g. painted or glazed surfaces) has been a topic of considerable interest due to the expressiveness of this approach: each new type of “ingredient layer” fuels a combinatorial explosion that greatly expands the space of material models that are available for use in physically-based rendering systems. Key challenges in this area include 1. efficiently resolving internal scattering within the layered material structure, 2. projecting standard reflectance models into a representation that is compatible with layering computations, and 3. matching reality in ground-truth measurements of real-world layered structures. The talk will present recent progress on all of these topics.
Bio:
Wenzel Jakob is Assistant Professor at EPFL (Laussane, Switzerland), where he leads the EFPL's Realistic Graphics Lab. He obtained his PhD in 2013, at the Department of Computer Science at Cornell University. Before joining EFPL, he was a Marie Curie postdoctoral fellow at ETH Zuerich. His research interests focus on efficient light transport simulation, and material appearance modeling. In 2016 he received the Eurographics Young Researcher Award.
