摘要:
A “Scene Re-Lighter” provides various techniques for using an automatically reconstructed light transport matrix derived from a sparse sampling of images to provide various combinations of complex light transport effects in images, including caustics, complex occlusions, inter-reflections, subsurface scattering, etc. More specifically, the Scene Re-Lighter reconstructs the light transport matrix from a relatively small number of acquired images using a “Kernel Nyström” based technique adapted for low rank matrices constructed from sparsely sampled images. A “light transport kernel” is incorporated into the Nyström method to exploit nonlinear coherence in the light transport matrix. Further, an adaptive process is used to efficiently capture the sparsely sampled images from a scene. The Scene Re-Lighter is capable of achieving good reconstruction of the light transport matrix with only few hundred images to produce high quality relighting results. Further, the Scene Re-Lighter is also effective for modeling scenes with complex lighting effects and occlusions.

A mechanism is disclosed for capturing reflected rays from a surface. A first and second lens aligned along a same optical center axis are configured so that a beam of light collimated parallel to the lens center axis directed to a first side, is converged toward the lens center axis on a second side. A first light beam source between the first and second lenses directs a light beam toward the first lens parallel to the optical center axis. Second light beam source(s) on the second side of the first lens, direct a light beam toward a focal plane of the first lens at a desired angle. An image capturing component, at the second side of the second lens, has an image capture surface directed toward the second lens to capture images of the light reflected from a sample capture surface at the focal plane of the first lens.

Described is a search technology in which spatially varying anisotropic reflectance is modeled using image data captured from a single view. Reflectance at each point is represented using a microfacet-based Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF). Modeling processes the image data, which provides a partial normal distribution function (NDF) for each surface point. The NDF at each selected point is completed by texture synthesis using similar, overlapping partial NDFs from other points. Also described is a scanning device that illuminates a sample surface from a two-dimensional set of light directions using a linear array of LEDs moved over a flat sample.

A method, device and system is provided for providing global illumination of a scene. For example, global illumination may be provided in a rendered 3-dimensional image that may contain objects and/or light sources. Radiance functions or visibility functions may further be represented by scaling of spherical harmonics functions in the spherical harmonics domain. For example, scaling of spherical harmonics coefficients corresponding to a spherical function may be performed based on a spherical harmonics scaling transformation matrix based on an angular scaling function.

The method comprises, for each cross-section image, determining the position of the object (O) in relation to the cross-section plane at the moment the cross-section image is captured, and determining a three-dimensional representation (V) of the object (O) using cross-section images (X0 . . . Xm) and positions of the object (O) in relation to the cross-section plane at each moment of image capture.The positions of the object (O) in relation to the cross-section plane are determined using the cross-section images (X0 . . . Xm).

A method for preparing carbon nanotubes for synthesizing carbon nanotubes, fabricating carbon nanotube films and electronic devices is provided. The method for preparing carbon nanotubes can repair the defects in side walls of carbon nanotubes under stable condition easily and prepare carbon nanotubes of excellent properties. The method utilizes uric acid solution or ammonia water to treat carbon nanotubes after acidifying the carbon nanotubes by refluxing with nitric acid. The treatment temperature is, for example, 25° C.˜90° C., and treatment time is at least two 2 days. Preferably, the carbon nanotubes are treated with thionyl chloride solution before being treated with uric acid solution or ammonia water.

Compression techniques by pre-sorting transactions in a consistent way. In at least one embodiment, the compression does not rely on consistent mempool across full nodes. Transactions in a block can be hashed and sorted. Ambiguity can arise from the hashes, which can be resolved using various techniques.
