Für die realistische Betrachtung einer virtuellen Szene spielt neben der direkten Beleuchtung auch die Ausbreitung des indirekten Lichtes eine wichtige Rolle. Die Berechnung der indirekten Beleuchtung benötigt grundsätzlich Informationen über die gesamte Szene, nicht nur über den für die Kamera sichtbaren Ausschnitt, der in bildraumbasierten Techniken zum Einsatz kommt. Mittels Voxelisierung kann die Szene in eine dreidimensionale, diskrete und GPU-freundliche Repräsentation überführt werden. In dieser Arbeit werden Voxelrepräsentationen hinsichtlich ihrer Eignung für den globalen Lichtaustausch in dynamischen und großen Szenen untersucht. Nach einer Einführung und einem Literaturüberblick über existierende Voxelisierungs- und Beleuchtungsverfahren, die Voxel als Grundlage nutzen, wird ein Voxelisierungsverfahren entwickelt, das sich für Szenen mit dynamischen Objekten eignet. Auf der Grundlage des Strahlenschnitt-Tests mit binärer Voxelhierarchie werden dann zwei Beleuchtungsalgorithmen umgesetzt, implementiert und evaluiert: Monte-Carlo-Integration der Hemisphäre eines Szenenpunktes und Beleuchtung der Szenenpunkte mit virtuellen Punktlichtquellen.
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.
Artificial neural networks is a popular field of research in artificial intelli-
gence. The increasing size and complexity of huge models entail certain
problems. The lack of transparency of the inner workings of a neural net-
work makes it difficult to choose efficient architectures for different tasks.
It proves to be challenging to solve these problems, and with a lack of in-
sightful representations of neural networks, this state of affairs becomes
entrenched. With these difficulties in mind a novel 3D visualization tech-
nique is introduced. Attributes for trained neural networks are estimated
by utilizing established methods from the area of neural network optimiza-
tion. Batch normalization is used with fine-tuning and feature extraction to
estimate the importance of different parts of the neural network. A combi-
nation of the importance values with various methods like edge bundling,
ray tracing, 3D impostor and a special transparency technique results in a
3D model representing a neural network. The validity of the extracted im-
portance estimations is demonstrated and the potential of the developed
visualization is explored.
Es wird ein Augmented-Reality Ansatz zur Erforschung modularer OSGi-Softwaresysteme präsentiert. Der Prototyp wird unter der Verwendung der Microsoft HoloLens implementiert. Module, wie Komponenten und Packages, werden in einer virtuellen Stadt dargestellt. Dieser Ansatz ermöglicht es dem Anwender, die Software-Architektur mittels intuitiver Navigation zu erkunden: Spracheingabe, Blickpunkt- und Gestenkontrolle. Eine multifunktionale Benutzeroberfläche wird vorgestellt, die für verschiedene Zielgruppen adaptiert werden kann. Viele veröffentlichte Visualisierungen weisen keine klare Zielgruppendefinition auf. Das Konzept kann leicht auf andere Darstellungsformen, wie beispielsweise der Inselmetapher übertragen werden. Erste Ergebnisse einer Evaluierung, die mittels kleiner strukturierter Interviews gewonnen werden konnten, werden präsentiert. Die Probanden mussten vier Programm-verständnis Aufgaben lösen und ihren Aufwand, sowie ihre Arbeitsbelastung einschätzen. Die Ergebnisse bilden eine gute Grundlage für weitere Forschung im Bereich der Software- Visualisierung in Augmented Reality.
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.
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.
In the context of augmented reality we define tracking as a collection of methods to obtain the position and orientation (pose) of a user. By means of various displaying techniques, this ensures a correct visual overlay of graphical information onto the reality perceived. Precise results for calculation of the camera pose are gained by methods of image processing, usually analyzing the pixels of an image and extracing features, which can be recognized over the image sequence. However, these methods do not regard the process of image synthesis or at least in a very simplyfied way. In contrast, the class of model-based methods assumes a given 3D model of the observed scene. Based on the model data features can be identified to establish correspondences in the camera image. From these feature correspondences the camera pose is calculated. An interesting approach is the strategy of analysis-by-synthesis, regarding the computer graphics rendering process for extending the knowledge about the model by information from image synthesis and other environment variables.
In this thesis the components of a tracking system are identified and further it is analyzed, to what extend information about the model, the rendering process and the environment can contribute to the components for improvement of the tracking process using analysis-by-synthesis. In particular, by using knowledge as topological information, lighting or perspective, the feature synthesis and correspondence finding should lead to visually unambiguous features that can be predicted and evaluated to be suitable for stable tracking of the camera pose.
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.
Die Computergrafik befasst sich mit der Erzeugung von virtuellen Bildern. Im Bereich der 3D-Computergrafik werden die dargestellten Objekte im dreidimensionalen Raum beschrieben. Dazu bedient man sich diverser Generierungsverfahren. Einer dieser so genannten Renderer ist das Raytracing-Verfahren. Es erfreut sich in der Computergrafik wegen der erreichten Bildqualität bei ueberschaubarer Komplexität großer Beliebtheit. Dabei wird versucht, immer realistischere Ergebnisse zu erreichen. In der Vergangenheit wurde Raytracing deswegen beispielsweise um globale Beleuchtungsmodelle oder um reflektierende beziehungsweise um transparente Objekte erweitert. Dabei wurde aber ein wichtiger Punkt häufig vernachlässigt, welcher ebenfalls den Grad an Realismus deutlich erhöhen kann: die Kamera. Meistens geht man auch heutzutage von einem vereinfachten Lochkameramodell aus. Aus diesem Grund genügen solche Modelle nicht den Ansprüchen physikalisch-korrekter Renderingverfahren. Eine wirklich umfassend korrekte Abbildung von Szenen darf also nicht vernachlässigen, dass ein generiertes Bild durch ein Linsensystem noch einmal entscheidend beeinflusst wird. In dieser Arbeit wird deswegen ein physikalisch korrektes Kameramodell vorgestellt, welches die geometrischen Eigenschaften des Linsensystems berücksichtigt und die Belichtung auf der Bildebene korrekt berechnet.
Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit werden die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen des Geometry-Shaders in Bezug auf die Triangulierung von Freiformflächen untersucht. Dazu steht die Konzeption und Entwicklung eines Geometry-Shaders im Vordergrund, der Freiformflächen möglichst performant zur Laufzeit triangulieren kann. Hierzu werden NURBS-Datensätze eingelesen, trianguliert und dargestellt.
Augmented reality (AR) applications typically extend the user's view of the real world with virtual objects.
In recent years, AR has gained increasing popularity and attention, which has led to improvements in the required technologies. AR has become available to almost everyone.
Researchers have made great progress towards the goal of believable AR, in which the real and virtual worlds are combined seamlessly.
They mainly focus on issues like tracking, display technologies and user interaction, and give little attention to visual and physical coherence when real and virtual objects are combined. For example, virtual objects should not only respond to the user's input; they should also interact with real objects. Generally, AR becomes more believable and realistic if virtual objects appear fixed or anchored in the real scene, appear indistinguishable from the real scene, and response to any changes within it.
This thesis examines on three challenges in the field of computer vision to meet the goal of a believable combined world in which virtual objects appear and behave like real objects.
Firstly, the thesis concentrates on the well-known tracking and registration problem. The tracking and registration challenge is discussed and an approach is presented to estimate the position and viewpoint of the user so that virtual objects appear fixed in the real world. Appearance-based line models, which keep only relevant edges for tracking purposes, enable absolute registration in the real world and provide robust tracking. On the one hand, there is no need to spend much time creating suitable models manually. On the other hand, the tracking can deal with changes within the object or the scene to be tracked. Experiments have shown that the use of appearance-based line models improves the robustness, accuracy and re-initialization speed of the tracking process.
Secondly, the thesis deals with the subject of reconstructing the surface of a real environment and presents an algorithm to optimize an ongoing surface reconstruction. A complete 3D surface reconstruction of the target scene
offers new possibilities for creating more realistic AR applications. Several interactions between real and virtual objects, such as collision and occlusions, can be handled with physical correctness. Whereas previous methods focused on improving surface reconstructions offline after a capturing step, the presented method de-noises, extends and fills holes during the capturing process. Thus, users can explore an unknown environment without any preparation tasks such as moving around and scanning the scene, and without having to deal with the underlying technology in advance. In experiments, the approach provided realistic results where known surfaces were extended and filled in plausibly for different surface types.
Finally, the thesis focuses on handling occlusions between the real and virtual worlds more realistically, by re-interpreting the occlusion challenge as an alpha matting problem. The presented method overcomes limitations in state-of-the-art methods by estimating a blending coefficient per pixel of the rendered virtual scene, instead of calculating only their visibility. In several experiments and comparisons with other methods, occlusion handling through alpha matting worked robustly and overcame limitations of low-cost sensor data; it also outperformed previous work in terms of quality, realism and practical applicability.
The method can deal with noisy depth data and yields realistic results in regions where foreground and background are not strictly separable (e.g. caused by fuzzy objects or motion blur).
Im Bereich Augmented Reality ist es von großer Bedeutung, dass virtuelle
Objekte möglichst realistisch in ein Kamerabild eingebettet werden. Nur
so ist es möglich, dem Nutzer eine immersive Erfahrung zu bieten. Dazu
gehört unter anderem, Verdeckung dieser Objekte korrekt zu behandeln.
Während schon verschiedene Ansätze existieren, dieses Verdeckungsproblem
zu beheben, wird in dieser Arbeit eine Lösung mittels Natural Image
Matting vorgestellt. Mit Hilfe einer Tiefenkamera wird das Kamerabild in
Vorder- und Hintergrund aufgeteilt und anschließend das virtuelle Objekt
im Bild platziert. Für Bereiche, in denen die Zugehörigkeit zu Vorder- oder
Hintergrund nicht eindeutig ist, wird anhand bekannter Pixel ein Transparenz-
Wert geschätzt. Es werden Methoden präsentiert, welche einen
Ablauf des Image Matting in Echtzeit ermöglichen. Zudem werden
Verbesserungsmöglichkeiten dieser Methoden präsentiert und gezeigt, dass
durch diese eine höhere Bildqualität für schwierige Szenen erreicht wird.
Ray tracing acceleration through dedicated data structures has long been an important topic in computer graphics. In general, two different approaches are proposed: spatial and directional acceleration structures. The thesis at hand presents an innovative combined approach of these two areas, which enables a further acceleration of the tracing process of rays. State-of-the-art spatial data structures are used as base structures and enhanced by precomputed directional visibility information based on a sophisticated abstraction concept of shafts within an original structure, the Line Space.
In the course of the work, novel approaches for the precomputed visibility information are proposed: a binary value that indicates whether a shaft is empty or non-empty as well as a single candidate approximating the actual surface as a representative candidate. It is shown how the binary value is used in a simple but effective empty space skipping technique, which allows a performance gain in ray tracing of up to 40% compared to the pure base data structure, regardless of the spatial structure that is actually used. In addition, it is shown that this binary visibility information provides a fast technique for calculating soft shadows and ambient occlusion based on blocker approximations. Although the results contain a certain inaccuracy error, which is also presented and discussed, it is shown that a further tracing acceleration of up to 300% compared to the base structure is achieved. As an extension of this approach, the representative candidate precomputation is demonstrated, which is used to accelerate the indirect lighting computation, resulting in a significant performance gain at the expense of image errors. Finally, techniques based on two-stage structures and a usage heuristic are proposed and evaluated. These reduce memory consumption and approximation errors while maintaining the performance gain and also enabling further possibilities with object instancing and rigid transformations.
All performance and memory values as well as the approximation errors are measured, presented and discussed. Overall, the Line Space is shown to result in a considerate improvement in ray tracing performance at the cost of higher memory consumption and possible approximation errors. The presented findings thus demonstrate the capability of the combined approach and enable further possibilities for future work.
Tracking is an integral part of many modern applications, especially in areas like autonomous systems and Augmented Reality. For performing tracking there are a wide array of approaches. One that has become a subject of research just recently is the utilization of Neural Networks. In the scope of this master thesis an application will be developed which uses such a Neural Network for the tracking process. This also requires the creation of training data as well as the creation and training of a Neural Network. Subsequently the usage of Neural Networks for tracking will be analyzed and evaluated. This includes several aspects. The quality of the tracking for different degrees of freedom will be checked as well as the the impact of the Neural Network on the applications performance. Additionally the amount of required training data is investigated, the influence of the network architecture and the importance of providing depth data as part of the networks input. This should provide an insight into how relevant this approach could be for its adoption in future products.
This bachelor thesis implements a system for camera tracking based on a particle filter. For this purpose, a marker tracking is realized and the camera position is calculated based on the marker position. The marker is to be found with a particle filter and in order to accomplish this possible marker positions are simulated, also called particles, and weighted with Likelyhood-Functions. The focus lies on the evaluation of different Likelihood-Functions of the particle filter. The Likelyhood functions were implemented in CUDA as part of the implementation.
One of the greatest goals in computer graphics is the aesthetic representation of objects. In addition to conventional methods, another field focuses on non-photorealistic renderings. The so-called example-based rendering is an area where users can transfer their art style to a pre-computed 3D rendering, using a hand-painted template. There are some algorithms that already provide impressive results, but their problem is that most of these procedures count as offline methods and are not able to produce results in real-time. For this reason, this work show a method that satisfies this condition. In addition, the influence of the run-time reduction on the results is investigated. Requirements are defined, to which the method and its results are examined. Other methods in this field are referenced and compared with their results.
