VR Fresken
(2018)
Das Projekt VR Fresken setzte sich zum Ziel, mit Hilfe von virtueller Realität im Rahmen einer Museumsausstellung historisch rekonstruierte Räume und deren Deckenfresken interaktiv erlebbar zu machen. In dieser Arbeit werden die eingesetzten Techniken und Technologien beleuchtet, der Anwendungsfall der VR für den Einsatz im Museum untersucht, sowie eine Evaluation der Software im Alltagsbetrieb im Museum durchgeführt.
Volumetrische Beleuchtung
(2018)
Volumetric lighting is a common lighting phenomena in nature and carries an important role in the realistic appearance of computergenerated images. This thesis explains the physical background of this phenomena and lists common modells for visualising volumetric lighting in Computergraphics. Following this, this thesis compares three methods for visualising volumetric lighting with modern graphics hardware and compares these according to their abilities, restrictions and performance in an OpenGL implementation.
This work describes a novel software tool for visualizing anatomical segmentations of medical images. It was developed as part of a bachelor's thesis project, with a view to supporting research into automatic anatomical brain image segmentation. The tool builds on a widely-used visualization approach for 3D image volumes, where sections in orthogonal directions are rendered on screen as 2D images. It implements novel display modes that solve common problems with conventional viewer programs. In particular, it features a double-contour display mode to aid the user's spatial orientation in the image, as well as modes for comparing two competing segmentation labels pertaining to one and the same anatomical region. The tool was developed as an extension to an existing open-source software suite for medical image processing. The visualization modes are, however, suitable for implementation in the context of other viewer programs that follow a similar rendering approach.

Virtueller Dirigent
(2016)
Ihm Rahmen einer Bachelorarbeit wurde eine "Virtual Reality"-Anwendung entwickelt. Ein Benuzter erhält die Möglichkeit die Rolle eines Dirigenten zu übernehmen und ein virtuelles Orchester zu leiten. Die Leitung erfolgt mit Hilfe von Handgesten. Mithilfe einer Evaluation der Anwendung wurden allgemeine Anforderungen an "Virtual Reality"-Spiele festgehalten.
This thesis imparts a general view of the mechanics and implementation of latest voxelization strategies using the GPU. In addition to established voxelization procedures using the rasterization pipeline, new possibilities arising from GPGPU programming are examined. On the basis of the programming language C++ and the graphics library OpenGL the implementation of several methods is explained. The methods are compared in terms of performance and quality of the resulting voxelization and are evaluated critically with regards to possible use cases. Furthermore, two exemplary applications are detailed that use a voxelized scene in such a way that the augmentation of established techniques of real time graphics are facilitated. To this end, the concepts and the implementations of Transmittance Shadow Mapping and of Reflective Shadow Mapping utilizing a voxel based ambient occlusion effect is explained. Finally, the prolonging relevance of voxelization is put into prospect, by addressing latest research and further enhancements and applications of the presented methods.
This bachelor thesis’s objective is to offer the reader insight into the discrete Fourier transform, the discrete cosine transform and the discrete Hadamard-Walsh transform in the context of image processing, and also to compare these transformations under various aspects. For this purpose the term of transformation, originated in linear algebra, will be explained and applied to image processing. Subsequently, the understanding of the Fourier transform will successively be built up and connected to the two remaining transforms. Finally, the transformations will be compared and their usefulness in relation to image processing will be explained.
Global-Illumination is an important part of the rendering of realistic images. However, the computational complexity of an accurate simulation of these effects is too high for the use in real time applications. In this paper Light-Propagation-Volumes, Screen-Space-Reflections and multiple variants of Screen-Space-Ambient-Occlusion are investigated as a solution for real time rendering. It is shown that they are fast enough for the use in real time applications. The various techniques approximate only a few aspects of the light transport, but complement each other.
How does gameplay influence the fun in video games? This article will search for an answer to this question by using a self-made video game created from scratch. This video game will be programmed in two versions with differences only in gameplay. Several test persons are then to play this game. A survey will be answered afterwards. In order to gain values that are merely influenced by gameplay changes, thoughts on the game design and conception were made. Results suggest that gameplay has a big impact on fun in video games. But gameplay isn't the only responsible factor that makes a video game amusing. Psychological aspects are present when the gameplay of a video game changes.
There are a few systems high and low-cost ones for gaze tracking. Normally low-cost systems go in hand with low-resolution cameras. Here the image quality is poor, so the algorithms for detecting the gaze have to work more precisely. But how to test and analyse them correctly, when there is a bad image quality and no reference point known? The idea of this work is, to generate synthetic eye images, where the reference points are known, because they are mainly manually set and then to test and analyse the algorithms with these synthetic images. By switching on features like gaussian noise or a second glint-like reflection point, it is possible to stepwise approximate the synthetic images close to reality. In fact the experiments will lead to an improvement of the algorithms used in a low-resolution system environment.
The present thesis gives an overview of the general conditions for the programming of graphics cards. For this purpose, the most important Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) available on the market are presented and compared. Subsequently, two standard algorithms from the field data processing, prefix sum and radixsort are presented and examined with regard to the implementation with parallel programming on the GPU. Both algorithms were implemented using the OpenGL-API and OpenGL compute shaders. Finally, the execution times of the two algorithms were compared.
