Research internship: retro-reflective and specular peak (rusinkiewicz parametrization)

Ansys is the global leader in engineering simulation, helping the world's most innovative companies deliver radically better products to their customers. By offering the best and broadest portfolio of engineering simulation software, Ansys helps companies solve the most complex design challenges and engineer products limited only by imagination.

Summary / Role Purpose

Within the sensor team, the platform implements the functionalities of several sensors (camera, Radar, Lidar). The sensors are implemented in such that they are physically correct, i.e. they respect the physical laws of the environment/nature such as light refraction/reflection. Moreover, the sensors are simulated in “real-time” based on given sensors and environment parameters. In order to improve the precision of the physic simulation specially in the domain of the retro-reflective and specular peak, the intern will implement the rusinkiewicz parametrization (https://www.cs.princeton.edu/~smr/papers/brdf_change_of_variables/brdf_change_of_variables.pdf) to improve the physics of the rendering pipeline.
