Dynamic Inverse Rendering for Enhanced Material-Lighting Decomposition

A new inverse-rendering method uses rigid object motion to separate material from lighting more reliably. By tracking and reconstructing moving objects, the pipeline gets multiple light-surface interactions from a single …

Latent Space Reinforcement Learning for Inverse Material Estimation in Food Fracture Simulation

Researchers trained a goal-conditioned PPO policy to estimate food material parameters from fracture behavior in a single forward pass, then used CMA-ES to refine the result. On orange peeling, the …
