We present an approach to reduce high-resolution polygonal clothing meshes for Mixed Reality (VR/AR) scenarios. Due to hardware limitations, current mobile devices require 3D models with a strongly reduced triangle count to be displayed smoothly. A particular challenge for mesh reduction of clothing models is that these models usually consist of several fabric layers, which are spatially tightly together, touching in many places. Conventional decimation approaches and tools result in models with a lot of intersections between these layers. In this paper, we evaluate an incremental mesh decimation algorithm with the constraint of intersection-free decimations in each step on high resolution clothing models. A half-edge mesh data structure enables topological correct decimations and a clustered Bounding Volume Hierarchy (BVH) of the mesh triangles accelerates spatial neighborhood searches that are required for intersection tests. We demonstrate the performance of our approach on several real-world clothing models originating directly from a CAD application.

Acquisition and Validation of Spectral Ground Truth Data for Predictive Rendering of Rough Surfaces

In this work, we acquired a set of precisely and spectrally resolved ground truth data. It consists of the precise description of a new developed reference scene including isotropic BRDFs of 24 color patches, as well as the reference measurements of all patches under 13 different angles inside the reference scene.

Perceptual Comparison of Four Upscaling Algorithms for Low-Resolution Rendering for Head-mounted VR Displays

When rendering images in real-time, shading pixels is a comparatively expensive
operation. Especially for head-mounted displays, where separate images are rendered for
each eye and high frame rates need to be achieved. Upscaling algorithms are one possibility
of reducing the pixel shading costs. Four basic upscaling algorithms are implemented in a
VR rendering system, with a subsequent user study on subjective image quality. We find
that users preferred methods with a better contrast preservation.
