  • System and method for approximating a diffusion profile utilizing gathered lighting information associated with an occluded portion of an object
    Patent number: 8538183
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for approximating a diffusion profile utilizing gathered lighting information associated with an occluded portion of an object. In use, the present technique gathers information associated with an occluded portion of an object that is illuminated with a two-dimensional pattern of light including an edge which defines an illuminated portion and the occluded portion of the object. To this end, a diffusion profile of the object is approximated, utilizing such information.

  • Apparatus and method for approximating a convolution function utilizing a sum of gaussian functions
    Patent number: 8064726
    Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for approximating a convolution function (e.g. a diffusion profile, etc.) utilizing a sum of Gaussian functions. In use, results of a plurality of Gaussian functions are calculated. The results of the Gaussian functions are further summed. To this end, an approximation of a convolution function is generated based on the sum. Further, an image is rendered utilizing the approximation.
