Research

Thesis: Rendering of HDR 3D point clouds (funded by the ANR ReVeRy project)

The ReVeRY project will design a specific GRID OF CAMERAS, a cost-efficient system that acquires at once several viewpoints under several exposures and will convert a multiview, multiexposed, video stream into a high quality rich media.

The goal is to improve the rendering quality of such HDR point clouds captured by the camera grid.
It can be splitted into two different aspects:
   1) The High Dynamic Range of a volumetric content, and the associated Tone Mapping issues when displaying on SDR 2D screen / HMDs.
   2) The rendering quality of point clouds (filling holes, denoising images).
Taking into account the artistic and aesthetic intentions during the rendering process is also a great challenge (relighting, style transfer, etc.)

We propose a new approach for real-time Tone Mapping Operator dedicated to High Dynamic Range rendering of interactive 3D scenes.
The proposed method considers the whole scene lighting in order to preserve the global coherency.



The 3D scene consists of two rooms, one very bright and one very dark, separated by a door

We present two subjective studies to model the lightness perception on Head-Mounted Displays.
The proposed Tone Mapping Operator is then an adaptation of the HMD-TMO that better fits with the human eye perception of the luminance on such Head-Mounted Displays.

Another example


2019

We propose a new Tone Mapping Operator dedicated to the visualization of 360° High Dynamic Range images on Head-Mounted Displays.
To cope with the problem of global coherency, we propose a novel Tone Mapping Operator which takes advantage of
   1) a view-dependant tone mapping that enhances the contrast,
   2) a Tone Mapping Operator applied to the entire 360° image that preserves the global coherency.
