Seiring dengan banyaknya pembangunan yang tidak memperhatikan hubungan kondisi alam sekitar menyebabkan turunnya kualitas lingkungan hidup, maka diperlukan sebuah metode perancangan iklim dan dampaknya terhadap sekitar. Arsitektur Bioklimatik adalah tema dinilai tepat untuk digunakan sebagai solusi permasalahan arsitektur lingkungan. Rancangan konsep mengacu pada tujuan memberikan kenyamanan vi...

At the earth's surface, clear-sky colors during civil twilights depend on the combined spectral effects of molecular scattering, extinction by tropospheric aerosols, and absorption by ozone. Molecular scattering alone cannot produce the most vivid twilight colors near the solar horizon, for which aerosol scattering and absorption are also required. However, less well known are haze aerosols' ef...

Creating and rendering realistic water is one of the most daunting tasks in computer graphics. Realistic rendering of water requires that the sunlight and skylight illumination are correct, the water surface is modeled accurately and that the light transport within water body is properly handled. This paper describes a method for wave generation on a water surface using a physically-based appro...

Navigating animals are known to use a number of celestial and terrestrial compass cues that allow them to determine and control their direction of travel. Which of the cues dominate appears to depend on their salience. Here we show that night-active bull ants attend to both the pattern of polarised skylight and the landmark panorama in their familiar habitat. When the two directional cues are i...

The paper describes reflectance analysis of real images taken in an outdoor environment. In the past, the fundamental difficulties involved in analyzing outdoor images have prevented the use of traditional techniques for reflectance analysis such as shape from shading and photometric stereo. Those difficulties include: 1. multiple reflection components due to two light sources of different spec...
