Images visualize a gradient with respect to the plane moving right. Since the light source remains static the gradient should only be $\ne 0$ at the boundaries. OpenDR and Neural are not able to correctly calculate the gradients as they are based on color buffer differences.\\ Visualizations of gradients calculated by different differentiable renderers.\\ Images: \cite{ACM:diffable_raytracing} } \label{fig:grad-explanation} \end{minipage} \end{figure} \pause $\implies$ Problems are caused at the edges and by approximation using color buffers \end{frame}
