We test the hypothesis whether transforming a data matrix into a 3D shaded surface or even a volumetric display can be more appealing to humans than a scatterplot since it makes direct use of the innate 3D scene understanding capabilities…
The traditional wisdom for achieving transparency is to minimize disordered scattering within and on the surface of materials, so as to avoid translucency. However, the lack of disordered scattering also deprives the possibility of…
To what extent are two images picturing the same 3D surfaces? Even when this is a known scene, the answer typically requires an expensive search across scale space, with matching and geometric verification of large sets of local features.…
We present Multi-Layer Intensity Map, a novel 3D object representation for robot perception and autonomous navigation. Intensity maps consist of multiple stacked layers of 2D grid maps each derived from reflected point cloud intensities…
Transparent object perception is a rapidly developing research problem in artificial intelligence. The ability to perceive transparent objects enables robots to achieve higher levels of autonomy, unlocking new applications in various…
Color sequences, ordered sets of colors for data visualization, that balance aesthetics with accessibility considerations are presented. In order to model aesthetic preference, data were collected with an online survey, and the results were…
We show that materials made of scatterers distributed on a stealth hyperuniform point pattern can be transparent at densities for which an uncorrelated disordered material would be opaque due to multiple scattering. The conditions for…
We summarized the room-temperature optical properties for infrared-transparent materials, defining transparency windows for two different applications: thin-film coatings (absorption coefficient $\alpha < 10 cm^{-1}$) and windows ($\alpha <…
Global overlay maps of science use base maps that are overlaid by specific data (from single researchers, institutions, or countries) for visualizing scientific performance such as field-specific paper output. A procedure to create global…
Line attributes such as width and dashing are commonly used to encode information. However, many questions on the perception of line attributes remain, such as how many levels of attribute variation can be distinguished or which line…
We present a novel visualization-driven illumination model for density plots, a new technique to enhance density plots by effectively revealing the detailed structures in high- and medium-density regions and outliers in low-density regions,…
Opaque objects reconstructed by 3DGS often exhibit a falsely transparent surface, leading to inconsistent background and internal patterns under camera motion in interactive viewing. This issue stems from the ill-posed optimization in 3DGS.…
We show why and when optics needs thickness as well as width or area. Wave diffraction explains the fundamental need for area or diameter of a lens or aperture to achieve some resolution or number of pixels in microscopes and cameras. Now…
The opacity of typical objects in the world results in occlusion --- an important property of natural scenes that makes inference of the full 3-dimensional structure of the world challenging. The relationship between occlusion and low-level…
We seek a practical method for establishing dense correspondences between two images with similar content, but possibly different 3D scenes. One of the challenges in designing such a system is the local scale differences of objects…
Decomposing geometry, materials and lighting from a set of images, namely inverse rendering, has been a long-standing problem in computer vision and graphics. Recent advances in neural rendering enable photo-realistic and plausible inverse…
Many colour maps provided by vendors have highly uneven perceptual contrast over their range. It is not uncommon for colour maps to have perceptual flat spots that can hide a feature as large as one tenth of the total data range. Colour…
Transparent objects are a very challenging problem in computer vision. They are hard to segment or classify due to their lack of precise boundaries, and there is limited data available for training deep neural networks. As such, current…
Transparent objects are ubiquitous in household settings and pose distinct challenges for visual sensing and perception systems. The optical properties of transparent objects leave conventional 3D sensors alone unreliable for object depth…
Point patterns are characterized by their density and correlation. While spatial variation of density is well-understood, analysis and synthesis of spatially-varying correlation is an open challenge. No tools are available to intuitively…
