    Bonn Appearance Benchmark
    (The Eurographics Association, 2020) Merzbach, Sebastian; Klein, Reinhard; Klein, Reinhard and Rushmeier, Holly
    There is a general shortage of standardized comparisons in the field of appearance modeling. We therefore introduce a benchmark for assessing the quality of reflectance models on a dataset of high quality material measurements obtained with a commercial appearance scanner. The dataset currently consists of 56 fabric materials which are measured as radiometrically calibrated HDR images together with a precise surface geometry. We pose a public challenge to attract further participation and spark new research. Participants evaluate their models on provided directional light and view sampling to recreate the appearance of a set of unseen images per material. The results are automatically evaluated under various image metrics and ranked in a public leaderboard. Our benchmark provides standardized testing and thus enables fair comparisons between related works. We also release baseline SVBRDF material fits.

    A Genetic Algorithm Based Heterogeneous Subsurface Scattering Representation
    (The Eurographics Association, 2020) Kurt, Murat; Klein, Reinhard and Rushmeier, Holly
    In this paper, we present a novel heterogeneous subsurface scattering (sss) representation, which is based on a combination of Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) and genetic optimization techniques. To find the best transformation that is applied to measured subsurface scattering data, we use a genetic optimization framework, which tries various transformations to the measured heterogeneous subsurface scattering data to find the fittest one. After we apply the best transformation, we compactly represent measured subsurface scattering data by separately applying the SVD per-color channel of the transformed profiles. In order to get a compact and accurate representation, we apply the SVD on the model errors, iteratively. We validate our approach on a range of optically thick, real-world translucent materials. It's shown that our genetic algorithm based heterogeneous subsurface scattering representation achieves greater visual accuracy than alternative techniques for the same level of compression.

    Improving Spectral Upsampling with Fluorescence
    (The Eurographics Association, 2020) König, Lars; Jung, Alisa; Dachsbacher, Carsten; Klein, Reinhard and Rushmeier, Holly
    Modern photorealistic rendering simulates spectral behaviour of light. Since many assets are still created in different RGB color spaces, spectral upsampling of the RGB colors to a spectral representation is required to use them in a spectral renderer. Limiting the upsampled spectra to physically valid and natural, i.e. smooth, spectra results in a more realistic image, but decreases the size of the gamut of colors that can be recreated. In order to upsample wide gamut color spaces with colors outside the gamut of physically valid reflectance spectra, a previous approach added fluorescence to create accurate and physically valid representations. We extend this approach to increase the realism and accuarcy while considering memory and computation time.
