Sensor Saturation in Fourier Multiplexed Imaging
Optically multiplexed image acquisition techniques have become increasingly popular for encoding different exposures, color channels, light-fields, and other properties of light onto two-dimensional image sensors. Recently, Fourier-based multiplexing and reconstruction approaches have been introduced in order to achieve a superior light transmission of the employed modulators and better signal-to-noise characteristics of the reconstructed data.
We show in this paper that Fourier-based reconstruction approaches suffer from severe artifacts in the case of sensor saturation, i.e. when the dynamic range of the scene exceeds the capabilities of the image sensor. We analyze the problem, and propose a novel combined optical light modulation and computational reconstruction method that not only suppresses such artifacts, but also allows us to recover a wider dynamic range than existing image-space multiplexing approaches.

Our work on dynamically displaying BRDFs is going to be
featured in the September issue of
3D World,
a magazine for 3D artists, covering SIGGRAPH's Emerging
Technologies where we will demo our work.
Matthias Hullin is quoted as "I don't expect a BRDF display
to become available in the next 20 years. The principle on which
the Nintendo 3DS is based was patented back in 1913!"
