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.
Attending the lab, I spent a fair 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
This is a demo video of what was accomplished:
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
