Class Date Lecture movie Slides Sources and Readings
25 Jan Ray tracing as integration Ray tracing in all its glory; plenoptic functions
27 Jan Some radiometry, and light paths revised later slides from 25 Jan
1 Feb More paths and radiometry; visibility complexes; starting light fields Slides from 1 Feb
3 Feb Volume rendering and NeRF Slides from 3 Feb
8 Feb More NeRF and spatial frequencies Revised slides from 3 Feb for 8 Feb
10 Feb Some Tomography and some differentiable rendering
15 Feb Image denoising with CNNs; setting up denoising IBR
17 Feb No class No class No class
22 Feb Beauty rendering IBR Expanded neural rendering slides
24 Feb Beauty rendering IBR Expanded neural rendering slides
1 Mar Deep CG2Real; SPADE; FID and bias Yet more expanded neural rendering slides
3 Mar Control in DeepCG2Real; PixelNerf; Reshading ideas Reshading Slides
8 Mar Inferring illumination representations from images; some reshading Revised and expanded Reshading Slides
10 Mar Intrinsic images and conditional models Revised and expanded Reshading Slides
15 Mar Some reshading; some point based rendering; neat trick for representing hair which might extend Revised and expanded Reshading Slides
17 Mar We did not meet; ICCV deadline However, there's a lot of reading above
22 Mar 3D representations, inc points, implicit surfaces, metaballs, CSG and Marching cubes Shape representations and PointNet
24 Mar No class No class No class
29 Mar Pointnet, CvxNet and Farkas' lemma Shape representations, PointNet, CvxNet
  • Wikipedia on Farkas' lemma
  • Lectures on Polytopes, G.M. Ziegler, 1995 No link, sorry - try library for download This goes much much further than we need, but chapter 1, particularly the bit on Farkas' lemma, is illuminating.
  • CvxNet: Learnable Convex Decomposition Boyang Deng, Kyle Genova, Soroosh Yazdani, Sofien Bouaziz, Geoffrey Hinton, Andrea Tagliasacchi Read this carefully there is a silly bit, and a lot has been left on the table, but there is room for a lot more.
31 Mar Parsing and generation - 1 Generating and parsing shapes Primitives Parsing and generation
5 Apr More on generativev shape models Generating and parsing shapes, updated
7 Apr We saw Jiajun Wu in Yuxiong Wang's class; here's the link to the recording Jiajun Wu's slides
12 Apr Shape programs; simple betti number constructions Point cloud constructions, tending to persistent homology
14 Apr More simplicial stuff
19 Apr Simplicial stuff as a way to build unsupervised point set repns
21 Apr Basic animation, with a view to motion capture
26 Apr Basic animation, with a view to motion capture
3 May Chunks of motion, linear interpolation, speculation PDF of slides
