In dynamic tomography the object undergoes changes while projections are being acquired sequentially in time. The resulting inconsistent set of projections cannot be used directly to reconstruct an object corresponding to a time instant.…
Partial occlusion effects are a phenomenon that blurry objects near a camera are semi-transparent, resulting in partial appearance of occluded background. However, it is challenging for existing bokeh rendering methods to simulate realistic…
