RTR-GS: 3D Gaussian Splatting for Inverse Rendering with Radiance Transfer and Reflection
3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has demonstrated impressive capabilities in novel view synthesis. However, rendering reflective objects remains a significant challenge, particularly in inverse rendering and relighting. We introduce RTR-GS, a novel inverse rendering framework capable of robustly rendering objects with arbitrary reflectance properties, decomposing BRDF and lighting, and delivering credible relighting results. Given a collection of multi-view images, our method effectively recovers g…

An Energy-Efficient Edge Coprocessor for Neural Rendering with Explicit Data Reuse Strategies
Neural radiance fields (NeRF) have transformed 3D reconstruction and rendering, facilitating photorealistic image synthesis from sparse viewpoints. This work introduces an explicit data reuse neural rendering (EDR-NR) architecture, which reduces frequent external memory accesses (EMAs) and cache misses by exploiting the spatial locality from three phases, including rays, ray packets (RPs), and samples. The EDR-NR architecture features a four-stage scheduler that clusters rays on the basis of Z-…

Progress on the #tricycle project is mainly in thinking about and working on the subframe. One thing that I'm sure is the right decision is to give the subframe a flat mounting flange, which will bolt down onto a matching pedestal within the hull. This will make the subframe easier to fabricate, and easier to mount/dismount - which I think will be needed for any work on the wheel or tyre.

Climate change puts pressure on reindeer populations, both wild & domestic herds
In 2024, as unpredictable rains, snow and heat beat down on Finland’s Arctic, reindeer struggled to secure food sources, say Indigenous Sámi herders who shuffle their packs from one grazing ground to another. According to researchers, this is an example of the much larger problem the species faces. Due to climate change, a recent study […]

Toward All 2D-based Printed Raindrop Triboelectric Nanogenerators
The raindrop triboelectric nanogenerator (RD-TENG) is an emerging technology that is designed to harvest energy from raindrops. This application requires materials with negative triboelectric effect, high surface charge density, mechanical flexibility, and a large surface area, which are key characteristics of 2D materials. However, fundamental research is necessary to understand the potential of 2D materials in this context. This study introduces all-2D-based RD-TENG devices using graphene and…

Variable-Rate Texture Compression: Real-Time Rendering with JPEG
Although variable-rate compressed image formats such as JPEG are widely used to efficiently encode images, they have not found their way into real-time rendering due to special requirements such as random access to individual texels. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of variable-rate texture compression on modern GPUs using the JPEG format, and how it compares to the GPU-friendly fixed-rate compression approaches BC1 and ASTC. Using a deferred rendering pipeline, we are able to iden…
