Given a 2D slice through an aggregate material, create a 3D volume with a comparable appearance. Objective
Real-World Materials Concrete Asphalt Terrazzo Igneous minerals Porous materials
Independently Recover… Particle distribution Color Residual noise
Recovering Color Select mean particle colors from segmented regions in the input image Input Mean Colors Synthetic Volume
Recovering Noise How can we replicate the noisy appearance of the input? - = Input Mean Colors Residual The noise residual is less structured and responds well to Heeger & Bergen’s method Synthesized Residual
without noise Putting it all together Input Synthetic volume with noise

Ray Tracing Simplified Geometry Simplified GeometryMicro-polygonsEffective Ray Origin To ray trace simplified geometry, we adjust the ray origin.
Ray Tracing Simplified Geometry (a) (b)(c) (a)2 million displaced micro-polygons, without using the ray offsetting algorithm. (b)using the ray offsetting algorithm, ray tracing only 4 thousand polygons, shown in (c).
