on several real-world sensor-network data sets, taking into account the real measured data and communication quality, demonstrating that our model-based approach provides a high-fidelity representation of the real phenomena and leads to significant performance gains versus traditional data acquisition

In this paper, we propose a combination of modern GPU-based methods that are able to generate high-quality, interactive real-time rendering for augmented and mixed reality applications. We also present a new approach to estimate surface reflection functions and materials from images using genetic

-vivo experiment. Compared to the literature, our approach allows direct real-time stereo visualization of volu-metric medical data on a HMD without prior time consuming pre-processing or segmentation. To further improve the visual perception and interaction of real and virtual objects, the renderer implements

While Augmented Reality has always been restricted to adding artificial content to the real environment, Diminished Reality allows for removing real world content. Existing approaches however, either require complex setups or are not applicable in real-time. In this paper we present our approach

on the other hand in order to achieve a real-time response. In our work, we have selected two different positions among many possible trade-offs, demonstrating the real-time immersive impression that can be generated with today's technology in one approach, and presenting a glimpse of the future

Shadows play a key role in realistic 3D graphics rendering, which dramatically enhance our perception of a 3D scene by providing useful visual cues. Even tremendous advances in computer graphics and programmable GPUs have made real-time photo-realistic rendering a reality, the synthesis

centered around the use of High Dynamic Range environment maps for representing the real scene illumination. The main contribution lies in a novel, physically-based approach to rendering shadows cast by virtual objects without changing the shadows already present in the images of the real scene

of Augmented Reality (AR), research needs comprise finding the optimal information density, the interplay between orientation data in the background and other information layers, using the appropriate graphical variables for display, or selecting real-time base data with adequate quality and suitable spatial

Introduction Display devices for mixed reality systems are expected to produce synthesized images of high quality in real-time. We have been developing displays with a capability of correct occlusion phenomena between real and virtual images, which is important to make synthesized images

The system is capable of generating a stylized augmented video stream of high visual quality at real-time frame
