Generalized Image Acquisition and Analysis
State of the Art in Computational Fabrication and Display of Material Appearance.
After decades of research on digital representations of
material and object appearance, computer graphics has more
recently turned to the problem of creating physical
artifacts with controllable appearance characteristics.
While this work has mostly progressed in two parallel
streams – display technologies as well as novel fabrication
processes – we believe there is a large overlap and the
potential for synergies between these two approaches. In
this report, we summarize research efforts from the worlds
of fabrication display, and categorize the different
approaches into a common taxonomy. We believe that this
report can serve as a basis for systematic exploration of
the design space in future research.

Abstract
Photography has been striving to capture an ever increasing
amount of visual information in a single image. Digital
sensors, however, are limited to recording a small subset of
the desired information at each pixel. A common approach to
overcoming the limitations of sensing hardware is the optical
multiplexing of high-dimensional data into a photograph. While
this is a well-studied topic for imaging with color filter
arrays, we develop a mathematical framework that generalizes
multiplexed imaging to all dimensions of the plenoptic
function. This framework unifies a wide variety of existing
approaches to analyze and reconstruct multiplexed data in
either the spatial or the frequency domain. We demonstrate
many practical applications of our framework including
high-quality light field reconstruction, the first comparative
noise analysis of light field attenuation masks, and an
analysis of aliasing in multiplexing applications.
