Inspiration plays an important role in design, yet its specific impact on data visualization design practice remains underexplored. This study investigates how professional visualization designers perceive and use inspiration in their…
Color constancy and color illusion perception are two phenomena occurring in the human visual system, which can help us reveal unknown mechanisms of human perception. For decades computer vision scientists have developed numerous color…
Extensive recent media focus has been directed towards the dark side of intelligent systems, how algorithms can influence society negatively. Often, transparency is proposed as a solution or step in the right direction. Unfortunately,…
The AutoCAD is one of the most famous Computer Aided Drawing programs with high and accurate specifications in the engineering design. It is highly qualified and contains many of the tools it needs in many engineering departments. A useful…
Existing computer vision systems can compete with humans in understanding the visible parts of objects, but still fall far short of humans when it comes to depicting the invisible parts of partially occluded objects. Image amodal completion…
Image distortion correction is a critical pre-processing step for a variety of computer vision and image processing algorithms. Standard real-time software implementations are generally not suited for direct hardware porting, so…
Background. Within the software industry, it is commonly estimated that software professionals invest a substantial portion of their work hours in the process of understanding existing systems. In this context, an ineffective technical…
We present a method for estimating lighting from a single perspective image of an indoor scene. Previous methods for predicting indoor illumination usually focus on either simple, parametric lighting that lack realism, or on richer…
Dark mode has gained widespread adoption across mobile platforms due to its benefits in reducing eye strain and conserving battery life. However, while the mobile system switches to dark mode, most visualizations remain designed for light…
Prototyping is widely regarded in Human-Computer Interaction as an iterative process through which ideas are tested and refined, often via visual mockups, screen flows, and coded simulations. This position paper critiques the visual-centric…
The rapid growth of AI and accelerator-driven workloads is forcing a fundamental rethinking of optical interconnect architectures in datacenters. Co-packaged optics and three-dimensional photonic integration have emerged as promising…
The rapid growth of artificial intelligence, coupled with the slowing of Moore's law, is straining computing infrastructure, as CMOS electronics face inherent limits in bandwidth, energy efficiency, and parallelism. Integrated photonic…
Despite recent breakthroughs in deep learning methods for image lighting enhancement, they are inferior when applied to portraits because 3D facial information is ignored in their models. To address this, we present a novel deep learning…
The aim of visualization is to support people in dealing with large and complex information structures, to make these structures more comprehensible, facilitate exploration, and enable knowledge discovery. However, users often have problems…
Many models exist in the scientific literature for determining indoor daylighting values. They are classified in three categories: numerical, simplified and empirical models. Nevertheless, each of these categories of models are not…
Unobserved confounding arises when an unmeasured feature influences both the treatment and the outcome, leading to biased causal effect estimates. This issue undermines observational studies in fields like economics, medicine, ecology or…
X-ray ptychography utilizes overlapping illuminations to reconstruct the object's phase and absorption signal with spatial resolutions much smaller than the focus size. Usually, the illumination overlap is chosen to be between 50% and 60%…
Active illumination is a prominent complement to enhance 2D face recognition and make it more robust, e.g., to spoofing attacks and low-light conditions. In the present work we show that it is possible to adopt active illumination to…
For a system-level design of Networks-on-Chip for 3D heterogeneous System-on-Chip (SoC), the locations of components, routers and vertical links are determined from an application model and technology parameters. In conventional methods,…
Differentiable rendering methods promise the ability to optimize various parameters of 3d scenes to achieve a desired result. However, lighting design has so far received little attention in this field. In this paper, we introduce a method…
