About Me

I'll be spending a year at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore as a research assistant. I received my bachelor degree from Zhejiang A&F University in Jun. 2023, when I worked as a computer graphics research intern advised by Prof. Yuchi Huo at State Key Laboratory of CAD&CG, Zhejiang University. I also worked on rendering engine development at Tencent.
Hands on experience of computer graphics related research and modern rendering engine development.

Research Interest

Currently, my research interest mainly lies in Computer Graphics, specifically focusing on rendering.
My ultimate goal is to make rendering better, faster, stronger. There are multiple properties of the 3D world, appearance, materials and such.. To achieve my goal with the use of graphics knowledge and probably the help of neural networks.
Whatever it takes, Let's create a world more realistic than ever!

Publications and Preprints

	MIRReS: Multi-bounce Inverse Rendering using Reservoir Sampling for NeRF Yuxin Dai, Qi Wang, Jingsen Zhu, Dianbing Xi, Yuchi Huo, Chen Qia, Ying He preprint 2024 A novel two-stage inverse rendering framework that jointly reconstructs and optimizes explicit geometry, materials, and lighting from multi-view images. With the help of Reservoir Sampling and multi-bounce path tracing, our method achieves state-of-the-art performance in decomposition results. [project page][paper(arxiv)][code]
	FuseSR: Super Resolution for Real-time Rendering through Efficient Multi-resolution Fusion Zhihua Zhong, Jingsen Zhu, Yuxin Dai, Chuankun Zheng, Guanlin Chen, Yuchi Huo, Rui Wang, Hujun Bao SIGGRAPH Asia 2023 The workload of real-time rendering is steeply increasing as the demand for high resolution, overwhelming most graphics cards. We introduce an efficient and effective H-Net architecture to solve this problem. [project page][paper]
	A Biophysically-based Skin Model for Heterogeneous Volume Rendering Qi Wang, Fujun Luan, Yuxin Dai, Yuchi Huo, Rui Wang, Hujun Bao CVM(CVMJ) 2023 In this work, we present a novel heterogeneous biophysically-based volume rendering method for human skin that improves the realism of skin appearance while easily simulating various types of skin effects even skin diseases by modifying the biological coefficients textures.
