Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) In this report, an inverse problem of raytracing-based image synthesis is discussed. The proposed method estimates a set of texture images that models the object surface, in addition to shape/position/pose of the object and lighting directions. The method employs the Levenberg-Marquardt method, which uses Jacobian of the objective function as well as gradient for numerical optimization. In order to efficiently calculate the Jacobian, a sparse-matrix-based image representation is introduced, and this is designed so that its computation is efficiently implemented on a GPU-accelerated raytracing library (DXR).
