  IMMERSE Seminar- Shuang Zhao: Physics-Based Differentiable and Inverse Rendering

  Physics-based inverse rendering aims to recover scene parameters with the presence of complex light transport effects such as soft shadow and inter-reflection. Solving these problems using analysis-by-synthesis requires the use of differentiable rendering methods that estimate how the rendering of a scene alters with respect to differential changes of the scene.
