Generalized Image Acquisition and Analysis
A Theory of Plenoptic Multiplexing
Multiplexing is a common technique for encoding highdimensional image data into a single, two-dimensional image. Examples of spatial multiplexing include Bayer patterns to capture color channels, and integral images to encode light fields. In the Fourier domain, optical heterodyning has been used to acquire light fields.
In this paper, we develop a general theory of multiplexing the dimensions of the plenoptic function onto an image sensor. Our theory enables a principled comparison
of plenoptic multiplexing schemes, including noise analysis,
as well as the development of a generic reconstruction algorithm. The framework also aides in the identification and
optimization of novel multiplexed imaging applications.

Measuring BRDFs of Immersed Materials
In: Proceedings of VMV 2011.
Abstract
We investigate the effect of immersing real-world materials
into media of different refractive indices. We show, that
only some materials follow the Fresnel-governed
behaviour. In reality, many materials exhibit unexpected
effects such as stronger localized highlights or a
significant increase in the glossy reflection due to
microgeometry. In this paper, we propose a new measurement
technique that allows for measuring the BRDFs of materials
that are immersed into different media.
