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.

Volume Stylizer: Tomography-based Volume Painting

Abstract
Volumetric phenomena are an integral part of standard
rendering, yet, no suitable tools to edit characteristic
properties are available so far. Either simulation results
are used directly, or modifications are high-level, e.g.,
noise functions to influence appearance. Intuitive artistic
control is not possible.
We propose a solution to stylize single-scattering
volumetric effects. Emission, scattering and extinction
become amenable to artistic control while preserving a
smooth and coherent appearance when changing the
viewpoint. Our approach lets the user define a number of
target views to be matched when observing the volume from
this perspective. Via an analysis of the volumetric
rendering equation, we can show how to link this problem to
tomographic reconstruction.
