Abstract: Recent advances in neural rendering have unlocked unprecedented capabilities in 3D reconstruction and novel view synthesis, giving rise to applications such as virtual fly-throughs of a 3D scene reconstructed from a set of sparse, casually captured images. However, these renderings are viewed on a computer screen or conventional VR headsets as 2D images, greatly limiting the perceptual realism and immersiveness of such experiences. The rapid development in novel 3D scene representations calls for dedicated rendering algorithms that convert these readily-available 3D contents into formats that are compatible with emerging 3D display technologies, such as holographic displays. In this paper, we propose a wave-optics rendering pipeline that works with multiplane images (MPIs) for efficient and high-quality hologram synthesis. Our MPI-based computer-generated holography algorithm greatly outperforms state-of-the-art primitive-based CGH algorithms in terms of runtime, achieving speedups up to 250,000x while achieving comparable image quality, and significantly outperforms conventional layer-based CGH algorithms in terms of image quality. We validate our method extensively on a wide variety of 3D scene datasets both in simulation and through experimentally captured results, showing exceptional 3D focal stack and 4D light field reconstruction performance without sacrificing efficiency.

If the real aim were to cut emissions, we would push fossil fuel use in the electricity sector down to zero, and scale up renewables and battery storage instead. The net effect? Much lower climate impacts and much lower bills. Instead, the programme will greatly ramp up both. Why?

I remember discussions about US subsidies for CCS as far back as 2003 - accompanied by promises that this was THE SOLUTION. The technology for carbon capture is much older. And it still is not "mature" as a means of addressing #ClimateChange. Why do governments keep wasting money on this? None of the projects have delivered as promised.

Ik ben nog lang niet overtuigd
Nederland doet mee, hûh? Ja, Nederland doet mee!
Het zijn alleen nog maar plannen om plannen te gaan maken.
De producende landen doen niet mee.
De echte machthebbers: de oliebedrijven doen al helemaal niet mee.
