    Compression and Real-Time Rendering of Inward Looking Spherical Light Fields
    (The Eurographics Association, 2020) Hajisharif, Saghi; Miandji, Ehsan; Baravadish, Gabriel; Larsson, Per; Unger, Jonas; Wilkie, Alexander and Banterle, Francesco
    Photorealistic rendering is an essential tool for immersive virtual reality. In this regard, the data structure of choice is typically light fields since they contain multidimensional information about the captured environment that can provide motion parallax and view-dependent information such as highlights. There are various ways to acquire light fields depending on the nature of the scene, limitations on the capturing setup, and the application at hand. Our focus in this paper is on full-parallax imaging of large-scale static objects for photorealistic real-time rendering. To this end, we introduce and simulate a new design for capturing inward-looking spherical light fields, and propose a system for efficient compression and real-time rendering of such data using consumer-level hardware suitable for virtual reality applications.

    State-of-the-art in Automatic 3D Reconstruction of Structured Indoor Environments
    (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2020) Pintore, Giovanni; Mura, Claudio; Ganovelli, Fabio; Fuentes-Perez, Lizeth Joseline; Pajarola, Renato; Gobbetti, Enrico; Mantiuk, Rafal and Sundstedt, Veronica
    Creating high-level structured 3D models of real-world indoor scenes from captured data is a fundamental task which has important applications in many fields. Given the complexity and variability of interior environments and the need to cope with noisy and partial captured data, many open research problems remain, despite the substantial progress made in the past decade. In this survey, we provide an up-to-date integrative view of the field, bridging complementary views coming from computer graphics and computer vision. After providing a characterization of input sources, we define the structure of output models and the priors exploited to bridge the gap between imperfect sources and desired output. We then identify and discuss the main components of a structured reconstruction pipeline, and review how they are combined in scalable solutions working at the building level. We finally point out relevant research issues and analyze research trends.
