ShapeNet: An Information-Rich 3D Model Repository
- Angel X. Chang, T. Funkhouser, F. Yu
- Computer ScienceArXiv
- 9 December 2015
ShapeNet contains 3D models from a multitude of semantic categories and organizes them under the WordNet taxonomy, a collection of datasets providing many semantic annotations for each 3D model such as consistent rigid alignments, parts and bilateral symmetry planes, physical sizes, keywords, as well as other planned annotations.
Light field rendering

- 1 August 1996
This paper describes a sampled representation for light fields that allows for both efficient creation and display of inward and outward looking views, and describes a compression system that is able to compress the light fields generated by more than a factor of 100:1 with very little loss of fidelity.
Light Field Photography with a Hand-held Plenoptic Camera
- Ren Ng, M. Levoy, Duval Design

This paper presents a camera that samples the 4D light field on its sensor in a single photographic exposure. This is achieved by inserting a microlens array between the sensor and main lens,…
Brook for GPUs: stream computing on graphics hardware
- I. Buck, T. Foley, P. Hanrahan
- Computer ScienceACM Transactions on Graphics
- 1 August 2004
This paper presents Brook for GPUs, a system for general-purpose computation on programmable graphics hardware that abstracts and virtualizes many aspects of graphics hardware, and presents an analysis of the effectiveness of the GPU as a compute engine compared to the CPU.
A practical model for subsurface light transport

- 1 August 2001
A simple model for subsurface light transport in translucent materials that enables efficient simulation of effects that BRDF models cannot capture and a new, rapid image-based measurement technique for determining the optical properties of translucent materials.
On the relationship between radiance and irradiance: determining the illumination from images of a convex Lambertian object.

- 1 October 2001
This work derives a simple closed-form formula for the irradiance in terms of spherical harmonic coefficients of the incident illumination and demonstrates that the odd-order modes of the lighting with order greater than 1 are completely annihilated, contradicting a theorem that is due to Preisendorfer.
An efficient representation for irradiance environment maps

- Computer ScienceInternational Conference on Computer Graphics and…
- 1 August 2001
A simple and efficient procedural rendering algorithm amenable to hardware implementation, a prefiltering method up to three orders of magnitude faster than previous techniques, and new representations for lighting design and image-based rendering are considered.
A signal-processing framework for inverse rendering
- R. Ramamoorthi, P. Hanrahan
- MathematicsInternational Conference on Computer Graphics and…
- 1 August 2001
This work introduces a signal-processing framework which describes the reflected light field as a convolution of the lighting and BRDF, and expresses it mathematically as a product of spherical harmonic coefficients of the BRDF and the lighting.
Larrabee: A Many-Core x86 Architecture for Visual Computing
- L. Seiler, D. Carmean, P. Hanrahan
- Computer ScienceIEEE Micro
- 1 August 2008
The Larrabee many-core visual computing architecture uses multiple in-order x86 cores augmented by wide vector processor units, together with some fixed-function logic. This increases the…
Polaris: A System for Query, Analysis, and Visualization of Multidimensional Relational Databases
- Chris Stolte, Diane Tang, P. Hanrahan
- Computer ScienceIEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer…
- 2002
Polaris is presented, an interface for exploring large multidimensional databases that extends the well-known pivot table interface that includes an interfaces for constructing visual specifications of table-based graphical displays and the ability to generate a precise set of relational queries from the visual specifications.
