Wave-based non-line-of-sight computational imaging in Julia

Visit analytech-solutions.com ↗Alternativestop 1% of August 2019

In plain words

This is a Julia-based computational imaging tool that uses wave-based methods to capture and reconstruct images around obstacles and around corners without direct line of sight. Launched in 2019, it enables researchers and engineers to visualize hidden or occluded scenes through non-traditional imaging techniques. The software is designed for users working in computer vision, imaging science, and physics applications who need advanced computational approaches to see beyond conventional camera limitations.

    A physically-based GPU ray tracer written in JuliaFeb 2026 · makie.org · ▲198

    We ported pbrt-v4 to Julia and built it into a Makie backend. Any Makie plot can now be rendered with physically-based path tracing. Julia compiles user-defined physics directly into GPU kernels, so anyone can extend the ray tracer with new materials and media - a black hole with gravitational lensing is ~200 lines of Julia. Runs on AMD, NVIDIA, and CPU via KernelAbstractions.jl, with Metal coming soon. Demo scenes: github.com/SimonDanisch/RayDemo

    I've made a Monte-Carlo raytracer for glTF scenes in WebGPU2024 · github.com · ▲131

    This is a GPU "software" raytracer (i.e. using manual ray-scene intersections and not RTX) written using the WebGPU API that renders glTF scenes. It supports many materials, textures, material & normal mapping, and heavily relies on multiple importance sampling to speed up convergence.

    Synthesize TikZ Graphics Programs for Scientific Figures and Sketches2024 · github.com · ▲132

    Creating high-quality scientific figures can be time-consuming and challenging, even though sketching ideas on paper is relatively easy. Furthermore, recreating existing figures that are not stored in formats preserving semantic information is equally complex. To tackle this problem, we introduce DeTikZify, a novel multimodal language model that automatically synthesizes scientific figures as semantics-preserving TikZ graphics programs based on sketches and existing figures. We also introduce a Monte Carlo Tree Search-based inference algorithm that enables DeTikZify to iteratively refine its…

    Zerox – Document OCR with GPT-mini2024 · github.com · ▲246

    This started out as a weekend hack with gpt-4-mini, using the very basic strategy of "just ask the ai to ocr the document". But this turned out to be better performing than our current implementation of Unstructured/Textract. At pretty much the same cost. I've tested almost every variant of document OCR over the past year, especially trying things like table / chart extraction. I've found the rules based extraction has always been lacking. Documents are meant to be a visual representation after all. With weird layouts, tables, charts, etc. Using a vision model just make sense! In…
