Invention Description The demand for advanced thin-film deposition techniques has grown substantially in recent years, driven by the development of next-generation electronic, optoelectronic, and energy devices. Traditional deposition methods, such as chemical vapor deposition, molecular beam epitaxy, and physical vapor deposition, have well-established...

Background Light estimation is a critical component for realistic rendering of virtual scenes. For mixed-reality, a merging of virtual and physical worlds, accurate light estimation is especially important; inconsistencies in shadow and highlight rendering between the two domains are particularly noticeable, diminishing the intended immersive experience...
