This paper introduces a versatile multi-view inverse rendering framework with near-and far-field light sources. Tackling the fundamental challenge of inherent ambiguity in inverse rendering, our framework adopts a lightweight yet inclusive lighting model for different near-and far-field lights, thus is able to make use of input images under varied lighting conditions available during capture. It leverages observations under each lighting to disentangle the intrinsic geometry and material from the external lighting, using both neural radiance field rendering and physically-based surface rendering on the 3D implicit fields. After training, the reconstructed scene is extracted to a textured triangle mesh for seamless integration into industrial rendering soft-ware for various applications. Quantitatively and qualitatively tested on synthetic and real-world scenes, our method shows superiority to state-of-the-art multi-view inverse rendering methods in both speed and quality.

The key-value separation is renowned for its significant mitigation of the write amplification inherent in traditional LSM trees. However, KV separation potentially increases performance overhead in the management of Value region, especially for garbage collection (GC) operation that is used to reduce the redundant space occupation. In response, many efforts have been made to optimize the GC mechanism for KV separation. However, our analysis indicates that such solution based on trade-offs between CPU and I/O overheads cannot simultaneously satisfy the three requirements of KV separated systems in terms of throughput, tail latency, and space usage. This limitation hinders their real-world *** this paper, we introduce AegonKV, a "three-birds-one-stone" solution that comprehensively enhances the throughput, tail latency, and space usage of KV separated systems. AegonKV first proposes a SmartSSD-based GC offloading mechanism to enable asynchronous GC operations without competing with LSM read/write for bandwidth or CPU. AegonKV leverages offload-friendly data structures and hardware/ software execution logic to address the challenges of GC offloading. Experiments demonstrate that AegonKV achieves the largest throughput improvement of 1.28-3.3 times, a significant reduction of 37%-66% in tail latency, and 15%-85% in space overhead compared to existing KV separated systems.

Flows experiencing laminarization and retransition are universal and crucial in many engineering *** objective of this study is to conduct an uncertainty quantification and sensitivity analysis of turbulence model closure coefficients in capturing laminarization and retransition for a rapidly contracting channel ***,two commonly used turbulence models are considered:the Spalart-Allmaras(SA)one-equation model and the Menter Shear Stress Transport(SST)two-equation ***,a series of steady Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS)predictions of aero-engine intake acceleration scenarios are carried out with the purposely designed turbulence model closure *** a result,both SA and SST models fail to capture the retransition phenomenon though they achieve pretty good performance in *** the non-intrusive polynomial chaos method,solution uncertainties in velocity,pressure,and surface friction are quantified and analyzed,which reveals that the SST model possesses much great uncertainty in the non-laminar regime,especially for the logarithmic law ***,a sensitivity analysis is performed to identify the critical contributors to the solution uncertainty,and then the correlations between the closure coefficients and the deviations of the outputs of interest are obtained via the linear regression *** results indicate that the diffusion-related constants are the dominant uncertainty contributors for both SA and SST ***,the remarkably strong correlation between the critical closure coefficients and the outputs might be a good guide to recalibrate and even optimize the commonly used turbulence models.

We present the ilLumination-Aware conditional Image Repainting (LuminAIRe) task to address the unrealistic lighting effects in recent conditional image repainting (CIR) methods. The environment lighting and 3D geometry conditions are explicitly estimated from given background images and parsing masks using a parametric lighting representation and learning-based priors. These 3D conditions are then converted into illumination images through the proposed physically-based illumination rendering and illumination attention module. With the injection of illumination images, physically-correct lighting information is fed into the lighting-realistic generation process and repainted images with harmonized lighting effects in both foreground and background regions can be acquired, whose superiority over the results of state-of-the-art methods is confirmed through extensive experiments. For facilitating and validating the LuminAIRe task, a new dataset CAR-LUMINAIRE with lighting annotations and rich appearance variants is collected.
