Grassland albedo as a nature-based climate prospect: the role of growth form and grazing

Environmental Research Letters
Nature-based solutions for mitigating climate change focus largely on land management to reduce carbon emissions and enhance carbon sequestration. Tree planting, commonly advocated for carbon offset, threatens grassland biodiversity and may induce ...

Shrubs inhibit plant diseases by intercepting light in alpine meadows

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change is disproportionately impacting mountain ecosystems, leading to widespread shrub expansion into alpine meadows. Shrub encroachment alters the albedo, carbon budget and warming rate in alpine grasslands, but it remains challenging to predict how shrub ...

Late Holocene moisture variability in Arctic Alaska from chitin δ18O

Boreas, EarlyView.
Amplified warming in the Arctic has resulted in reduced sea‐ice extent, which can impact regional climate dynamics. Elucidating past moisture variability in response to changing temperatures and sea‐ice conditions can offer insight into how anthropogenic climate change may impact Arctic areas such as the Alaskan North Slope in the future. We contribute

Statistical Denoising of Transient Rendering

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Transient rendering simulates light in motion, measuring the time of flight from the light source to the camera. However, the stochastic nature of Monte Carlo is aggravated in transient rendering, since samples are now spread along the temporal domain.

3D Character Reconstruction from Hand‐drawn Model Sheets

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Hand‐drawn model sheets are widely used in character design to define 3D shape and appearance through sparse multi‐view drawings. Reconstructing 3D characters from such sparse inputs has traditionally been challenging due to insufficient visual information.

PBR‐Inspired Controllable Diffusion for Image Generation

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite recent advances in text‐to‐image generation, controlling geometric layout and PBR material properties in synthesized scenes remains challenging. We present a pipeline that first produces a G‐buffer (albedo, normals, depth, roughness, shading, and metallic) from a text prompt and then renders a final image through a PBR‐inspired branch ...

Résolution du problème de la stéréophotométrie non calibrée par estimation de l'intensité des éclairages [PDF]

, 2013
Nous présentons une nouvelle méthode de résolution du problème de la stéréophotométrie non calibrée dans le cadre lambertien, fondée sur l'hypothèse que tous les éclairages ont la même intensité, couplée à l'estimation de cette intensité.

A Real‐Time Multi‐Scale Neural Representation for Complex Surface Reflectance

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent machine learning methods have significantly advanced the state of the art in the classic problem of representing surface appearance over angle, space, and scale. The models tend, however, to be relatively heavy compared to traditional fixed‐function representations, making real‐time application challenging.

The sub-seasonal and interannual spatio-temporal variability of bare-ice albedo of Abramov Glacier, Kyrgyzstan

Journal of Glaciology
As snowlines retreat, the bare ice of Central Asian glaciers is increasingly exposed to short-wave radiation and high temperatures. The importance of bare-ice albedo for glacier melt rates is thus rising. Little is known about the variability of bare-ice

TABI: Tight and Balanced Interactive Atlas Packing

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Atlas packing is a key step in many computer graphics applications. Packing algorithms seek to arrange a set of charts within a fixed‐size atlas with as little downscaling as possible. Many packing applications such as content creation tools, dynamic atlas generation for video games, and texture space shading require on‐the‐fly interactive ...
