Towards Real-Time Object Removal and Inpainting Through A Diminished Reality Application For Smartphones

Diminished reality (DR) is an extension of augmented reality (AR) in which real objects are concealed, removed, or replaced. State of the art DR implementations are written and evaluated on desktop platforms, and those which are aimed at smartphones use auxiliary data or hardware for image completion. This paper introduces a DR app for Android...

Stochastic Light Cut Exploration: for Real-Time Global Illumination

Global Illumination provides natural and more realistic illumination of a scene by simulating the bouncing of light between surfaces. Due to its complex nature, it still remains a challenge to simulate this effect with real-time frame rates even on modern-day hardware. Existing methods are noisy and either require extensive filtering or long...
