Title:
An Image-Based Realistic Lens Model for Interactive Computer Graphics
Abstract:
Accurate simulations of real lenses at interactive rates have many
applications including photorealistic rendering, augmented reality, and
virtual studios. In the past, accurate models have used ray tracing which
results in high rendering costs, making them impractical to use for
interactive computer graphics. More recently, Heidrich et al. have
proposed an image-based lens model which will be presented in detail.
This model is capable of realistically simulating the geometry and
radiometry of real lenses at interactive rates. Essentially this involves
using image-based rendering techniques which effectively employ hardware,
and therefore require significantly reduced computational resources.
