This thesis explores different approaches for the acceleration of raytracing calculations on the graphics processing unit (GPU). For that a voxel grid is used and extended by the linespace data structure. The linespace consists of direction based shafts and stores the objects located in those shafts in a candidate list. Different methods for the sorting and traversal of the linespace are presented and evaluated. The shown methods cannot provide a speed up of the frame rate without resulting in a loss of image quality.
This thesis presents the use of a local linespace data structure, which is designed and implemented on the basis of an existing GPU-based raytra- cer with a global linespace data structure. For each scene object, an N-tree is generated whose nodes each have a linespace. This saves informations about existing geometry in its shafts. A shaft represents a volume between two faces on the outside of the node. This allows a faster skipping of em- pty spaces during raytracing. Identical objects can access already calcula- ted linespaces, which can reduce the memory requirement by up to 94.13% and the initialization time of the datastructure by up to 97.15%. Due to the local access possibilities dynamic scenes can be visualized. An increase in quality can also be observed.
This bachelor thesis deals with the development of an application for the Microsoft HoloLens. The application is used for the marketing of advertis- ing spaces that belongs to the company awk AUSSENWERBUNG GmbH. On basis of the development, the question is answered which are the pos- sibilities and limitations of the HoloLens and the Mixed Reality Platform. Problems are also addressed, that come along with the development of an application for such a new technology, like the HoloLens is. Beside the new technologies, some challenges come also from the applications oper- ational locations. Several application examples and presentations suggest, that the HoloLens is primarily designed for indoor usage. Instead the de- veloped application is for outdoor use only. During the development, sev- eral insights can be gained about this new technology. On the one hand it becomes clear, that the HoloLens and also the development environment aren’t completely matured yet. On the other hand, that the HoloLens isn’t an outdoor device at all. Despite the difficulties during the development, there occur many possibilities that are associated with this new technology.
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.
