Appearance Changes due to Light Exposure
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-12)The fading of materials due to light exposure over time is a major contributor to the overall aged appearance of man-made objects. Although much attention has been devoted to the modeling of aging and weathering phenomena ... -
Balancing Fidelity and Performance in Iridal Light Transport Simulations Aimed at Interactive Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2016-11-29)Specific light transport models based on first-principles approaches have been proposed for complex organic materials such as human skin and blood. The driving force behind these efforts has been the high-fidelity reproduction ... -
A Framework for the Generation of Textures Representing Time-Dependent Changes in the Appearance of Dust Layers
(University of Waterloo, 2022-04-19)The perception of realism in computer generated images can be significantly enhanced by subtle visual cues. Among those, one can highlight the presence of dust on synthetic objects, which is often subject to temporal ... -
In Silico Investigation of the Light Transmission Profiles of Sand-Textured Soils
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-14)Sand-textured soils are found in a wide range of landscapes, from dune fields to coastal areas. The quantification of light penetration through these soils, particularly considering possible variations in the presence ... -
On Skin Cyanotic Appearances and Spectral Responses Elicited by Methemoglobinemia and Sulfhemoglobinemia
(University of Waterloo, 2018-07-13)Methemoglobinemia and sulfhemoglobinemia are potentially life-threatening blood disorders characterized by similar symptoms and markedly distinct treatment procedures. In this thesis, we investigate the causal relationship ... -
On the Bluish Appearance of Veins
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-18)The bluish appearance of veins located immediately beneath the skin has long been a topic of interest for biomedical optics researchers. Despite this interest, a thorough identification of the specific optical processes ... -
On the Modelling of Hyperspectral Light and Skin Interactions and the Simulation of Skin Appearance Changes Due to Tanning
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-07)The distinctive visual attributes of human skin are largely determined by its interactions with light across different spectral domains. Accordingly, the modelling of these interactions has been the object of extensive ...
