Seminar 14/04 – Wilhem Barbier – BVH updates on the GPU using adaptive treelet restructuring

For the next STORM seminar, Wilhem Barbier will give a presentation titled: BVH updates on the GPU using adaptive treelet restructuringAbstract: Bounding volume hierarchies (BVH) are a widespread acceleration structure that can answer raytracing, visibility or other geometric queries in logarithmic time. However building a bounding volume hierarchy is a costly operation which is an issue for real-time rendering of animated scenes, since rebuilding the BVH from scratch every frame is not feasible and simply updating the bounding boxes without changing the tree topology can lead to degradation of the tree over time.…

Seminar 07/04 – François Gaits – Utilisation de NeRF pour la reconstruction 3D basé images ultrasonores

For the next STORM seminar, François Gaits will give a presentation titled: Utilisation de NeRF pour la reconstruction 3D basée images ultrasonoresAbstract: Les NEural Radiance Field (NeRF) ont récemment apporté de nouvelles approches dans le domaine de la synthèse de nouvelles vues. Basé sur un réseau à l’architecture simple, ils permettent de rendre des images ou un modèle 3D d’une scène à partir d’une collection de photo la représentant.…

Seminar 31/03 – Mégane Bati – The Walk on Sphere algorithm in Graphics and its extensions

For the next STORM seminar, Mégane Bati will give a presentation titled: The Walk on Sphere algorithm in Graphics and its extensions

Abstract: Monte-Carlo is a standard method to simulate the light transport in a scene by numerically solving the Radiative Transfer Equation.This method can be more widely applied to solve advection-diffusion equations, as recently introduced in Graphics by Sawhney and Crane [2020].The…

Seminar 17/03 – Jules Vidal – Tutorial: Visualizing scientific data with ParaView

For the next STORM seminar, Jules Vidal will give a presentation titled: Tutorial: Visualizing scientific data with ParaView

Abstract: ParaView is an open-source software for interactive visualization and analysis of scientific data. Developed by Kitware (CMake, VTK), it is a broadly-used software in this field, with various features that include server/client architecture for remote visualization, LOD models for interactive analysis of large datasets, parallel and in-situ visualization, and a plugin system that makes it quite extensible.In…

Seminar 24/02 – Nicolas Barroso – Reading and Discussion about : How to get your siggraph paper rejected – Jim Kajiya

For the next STORM seminar, Nicolas Barroso will give a presentation titled: Reading and Discussion about : How to get your siggraph paper rejected – Jim KajiyaLink to the article: https://www.siggraph.org/sites/default/files/kajiya.pdfAbstract: The SIGGRAPH paper reviews process suffers from high quality publishing expectations and fast completion. Mistakes are made by authors, but also reviewers.…

Seminar 17/02 – Noura Faraj – Multi-modal 3D image registration using interactive voxel grid deformation and rendering

For the next STORM seminar, Noura Faraj will give a presentation titled: Multi-modal 3D image registration using interactive voxel grid deformation and renderingAbstract: We introduce a novel multi-modal 3D image registration framework based on 3D user-guided deformation of both volume’s shape and intensity values. Being able to apply deformations in 3D gives access to a wide new range of interactions allowing for the registration of images from any acquisition method and of any organ, complete or partial.…

Seminar 10/02 – Marc Hartley – Modélisation procédurale de milieux sous-marins

For the next STORM seminar, Marc Hartley will give a presentation titled: Modélisation procédurale de milieux sous-marins

Abstract: Le monde sous-marin représente plus de 70% de notre planète et pourtant nous ne connaissons que très peu ce milieu. De même, on estime qu’un quart de la biodiversité marine se réfugie dans les barrières de corail, mais de nombreuses espèces n’ont jamais pu être étudiées jusque-là.Ma…

Seminar 27/01 – Mathias Paulin – Position-free Multiple-bounce Computations for Smith Microfacet BSDFs – Reading and discussion

For the next STORM seminar, Mathias Paulin will give a presentation titled : Position-free Multiple-bounce Computations for Smith Microfacet BSDFs – Reading and discussion

Abstract: Bidirectional Scattering Distribution Functions (BSDFs) encode how a material reflects or transmits the incoming light. The most commonly used model is the microfacet BSDF. It computes the material response from the microgeometry of the surface assuming a single bounce on specular microfacets.…
