Abstract

Computer graphics and computer vision techniques deal with acquiring, interpreting and presenting the rich visual world around us. These are exciting multi-disciplinary fields of research with a wide spectrum of applications that can impact our daily lives. However, most of the computer generated imagery today represents scenes with clear atmospheres, neglecting light scattering effects. Analogously, most computer vision systems have not enjoyed success when deployed in uncontrolled outdoor environments. Nevertheless, scattering is a fundamental aspect of light transport in a wide range of applications, whether simulating it or interpreting it, from medical imaging to driving simulators or underwater imagery.
