Advanced Fiber Scattering Models
Our work builds upon the established Chiang et al. [2015] fiber scattering model, an extension of Marschner's far-field model. Unlike previous approaches, we avoid integrating over fiber width, utilizing the offset across the fiber (h) as a parameter for more precise rendering. For multiple scattering, we employ an approximated diffuse term, which offers plausible quality and is differentiable, making it suitable for optimization within our framework.
This approach allows for a more accurate representation of light interaction at the fiber level, crucial for the high-fidelity renderings required in advanced digital prototyping and virtual product visualization.
Differentiable Procedural Geometric Generation
A core innovation is our fully differentiable procedural geometric model for woven fabrics. This model includes a hybrid analytical yarn-level centerline curve, capable of representing various yarn profiles from arc-shaped to parabolic-modulated. It also features randomized fiber generation, incorporating yarn variation and fiber noise to mimic natural irregularities and achieve greater realism.
Furthermore, our model introduces an explicit flyaway mechanism, classifying flyaways into 'hair' and 'loop' categories with controlled randomness. This ensures that the generated fiber geometries closely match real-world observations while remaining fully differentiable, enabling end-to-end optimization.
Coarse-to-Fine Fabric Capture Pipeline
Our robust parameter estimation pipeline operates in a coarse-to-fine manner. It starts with a simple neural network for initial geometric and shading parameter prediction. This is followed by a joint geometry-appearance optimization stage, leveraging differentiable rasterization to refine parameters and accurately match microscope photos.
Finally, an appearance refinement optimization, utilizing differentiable path tracing, fine-tunes the fiber optical parameters for physically-based, high-quality rendered results. This multi-stage approach addresses the challenges of a large parameter space and complex light transport, ensuring stable and accurate parameter recovery from a single low-cost microscopic image.
