Recovering a function from its spherical Radon transform with centers of spheres of integration restricted to a hypersurface is at the heart of several modern imaging technologies, including SAR, ultrasound imaging, and photo- and…
In this note we are going to consider a smooth projective surface equipped with an involution and study the action of the involution at the level of Chow group of zero cycles.
We apply the invariant theory of surfaces in the four-dimensional Euclidean space to the class of general rotational surfaces with meridians lying in two-dimensional planes. We find all minimal super-conformal surfaces of this class.
Inverse rendering aims to decompose a scene into its geometry, material properties and light conditions under a certain rendering model. It has wide applications like view synthesis, relighting, and scene editing. In recent years, inverse…

We combine two-dimensional freeform reflector design with a scattering surface modelled using microfacets, i.e., small specular surfaces representing surface roughness. The model results in a convolution integral for the scattered light…
The small perturbations method has been extensively used for waves scattering by rough surfaces. The standard method developped by Rice is difficult to apply when we consider second and third order of scattered fields as a function of the…
In this work we investigate numerically the reconstruction approach proposed in Goncharov, Novikov, 2016, for weighted ray transforms (weighted Radon transforms along oriented straight lines) in 3D. In particular, the approach is based on a…
The author shows that equicontinuous geodesic flows on surfaces are periodic. A similar result for flows on 3-manifolds is also proven. The idea of the proof is to show that the return map is recurrent and therefore periodic.
Several novel imaging applications have lead recently to a variety of Radon type transforms, where integration is done over a family of conical surfaces. We call them \emph{cone transforms} (in 2D they are also called \emph{V-line} or…
A "shear" is a unipotent translate of a cuspidal geodesic ray in the quotient of the hyperbolic plane by a non-uniform discrete subgroup of PSL(2,R), possibly of infinite co-volume. We prove the regularized equidistribution of shears under…
We describe an approach for incorporating radiative transfer into 3D hydrodynamic cosmological simulations. The method, while approximate, allows for a self-consistent treatment of self-shielding and shadowing, diffuse and point sources of…

Differentiable rendering is a technique to connect 3D scenes with corresponding 2D images. Since it is differentiable, processes during image formation can be learned. Previous approaches to differentiable rendering focus on mesh-based…
