IVC Colloquium with Prof. Martin Eisemann (TH Köln)

Please come and join us for a guest lecture of Prof. Eisemann. No prior registration needed, just drop by.

Abstract:
In this talk I will present some of the research I was involved in during the last years. The global scope of it is the insight that errors in stochastic rendering, as e.g. from Monte Carlo simulations using too few samples, is something we shouldn’t be afraid of but rather use it to guide our rendering towards the correct solution. I will talk about how to select the best image filter for noise removal in Monte Carlo renderings and how to investigate a 3D scene to find the actual causes of rendering artifacts and what we can do to suppress them.
