Jornada de Seguimiento de Proyectos, 2010

The project consists of a central body (Illumination simulation) formed by three main blocks, which is oriented to the design (CAD) of active (luminaries, luminaries’ distribution) or passive illumination systems and elements (windows, skylights). The results of the three blocks from this central body will be applied to environments, which will be generated in the Urban modelling block, and will take advantage of the techniques developed in the Interactive visualization block.  Urban modelling. Generation of complex urban and architectural environments with GPU-based solutions.  Illumination Simulation. Usage of the light transport simulation and its interaction with the environment in different ways:  Artificial Illumination. Creation and development of inverse reflector design software tools.  Natural Illumination. Development of efficient physically based and evaluation techniques of the natural illumination.  Assisted Illumination. Development of software tools for illumination design from images of the environment to illuminate, or from definitions of desired illumination.  Interactive Visualization. Design and development of solutions, based on the exploitation of the advantages of modern GPUs, for the treatment of complex illumination systems and for obtaining high quality images.
