IRIDiuM: immersive rendered interactive deep media (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Koniaris, B., Israr, A., Mitchell, K., Huerta, I., Kosek, M., Darragh, K., …Moon, B. (2016). IRIDiuM: immersive rendered interactive deep media. . https://doi.org/10.1145/2929490.2929496

Compelling virtual reality experiences require high quality imagery as well as head motion with six degrees of freedom. Most existing systems limit the motion of the viewer (prerecorded fixed position 360 video panoramas), or are limited in realism,...

User, metric, and computational evaluation of foveated rendering methods (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Swafford, N. T., Iglesias-Guitian, J. A., Koniaris, C., Moon, B., Cosker, D., & Mitchell, K. (2016). User, metric, and computational evaluation of foveated rendering methods. In SAP '16 Proceedings of the ACM Symposium on Applied Perception. https://doi.

Perceptually lossless foveated rendering methods exploit human perception by selectively rendering at different quality levels based on eye gaze (at a lower computational cost) while still maintaining the user's perception of a full quality render. W... Read More about User, metric, and computational evaluation of foveated rendering methods.

A RAM triage methodology for Hadoop HDFS forensics (2016)
Journal Article

Adaptive polynomial rendering (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Moon, B., McDonagh, S., Mitchell, K., & Gross, M. Adaptive polynomial rendering. Presented at ACM SIGGRAPH 2016, Anaheim, California, US

In this paper, we propose a new adaptive rendering method to improve the performance of Monte Carlo ray tracing, by reducing noise contained in rendered images while preserving high-frequency edges. Our method locally approximates an image with polyn... Read More about Adaptive polynomial rendering.
