My master thesis
Solid Angle based Ambient Obscurance in Image-Space
For my master thesis, I've been back at ISISLab (where I already worked on my bachelor thesis),
this time working under the supervision of both prof.
Vittorio Scarano
and prof.
Ugo Erra.
There, I spent a significant amount of time
- studying computer graphics
- coding from scratch a C++11/OpenGL 4 rendering sandbox
- Y.A.R.S - Yet Another Rendering Sandbox
- designing and deveoping a new screen space ambient occlusion technique
- saSSAO - Solid Angle SSAO
A scientific paper related to my work was later published:
- Scarpa D., Erra U. (2017) Solid Angle Based Ambient Obscurance in Image Space. In: De Paolis L., Bourdot P., Mongelli A. (eds) Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, and Computer Graphics. AVR 2017. Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol 10325. Springer, Cham
- thesis: Solid Angle based Ambient Obscurance in Image Space
- final presentation (slides)
- OpenGL fun in the Sponza atrium (slides for mid-thesis seminar held at ISISlab)
- thesis abstract (in Italian)
- Y.A.R.S. full source code, including the implementation of saSSAO, is available on GitHub
