Simplifying the Representation of Radiance from Multiple Emitters
- this paper we propose a solution to this problem, by extending the techniques developed for discontinuity meshing and structured sampling [DrFi93, DrFi94, Dret94]. Throughout we consider only environments of diffusely reflecting surfaces lit by diffusely emitting sources. In the following section we

Hierarchical Parallelism for a Global Illumination Algorithm
- Global illumination algorithms can create highly-realistic computer generated images. FIAT is a global illumination algorithm developed at the University of Toronto that uses an adaptive space subdivision technique, and relies on discrete approximation to simulate the distribution of light through t

Controlling Memory Consumption of Hierarchical Radiosity with Clustering
- Memory consumption is a major limitation of current hierarchical radiosity algorithms, including those using clustering. To overcome this drawback we present a new algorithm which reduces the storage required for both the hierarchy of subdivided elements and the links representing light transfers. O

Flexible point-based rendering on mobile devices
- Point-based rendering is a compact and efficient means of displaying complex geometry. Our goal is to enable flexible point-based rendering, permitting local image refinement, required for example when zooming into very complex scenes, and efficient shadow computations. We use hierarchical packed po

Feature-based Control of Visibility Error: A Multi-resolution Clustering Algorithm for Global Illumination
- In this paper we introduce a new approach to controlling error in hierarchical clustering algorithms for radiosity. The new method ensures that just enough work is done to meet the user's quality criteria. To this end the importance of traditionally ignored visibility error is identified, and the co

Concrete Computation of Global Illumination Using Structured Sampling
- A new methodology is presented for the computation of global illumination using structured sampling. Analytical/numerical solutions for illumination are developed for simple lighting configurations. These solutions are subsequently used to generate accurate reference images. The structured sampling

Interactive High-Quality Soft Shadows in Scenes with Moving Objects
- Interactive rendering of soft shadows (or penumbra) in scenes with moving objects is a challenging problem. High quality walkthrough rendering of static scenes with penumbra can be achieved using pre-calculated discontinuity meshes, which provide a triangulation well adapted to penumbral boundaries,

Structured Penumbral Irradiance Computation
- A definitive understanding of irradiance behavior in penumbral regions has been hard to come by, mainly due to the computational expense of determining the visible parts of an area light source. Consequently, sampling strategies have been mostly ad hoc, and evaluation of the resulting approximations

Structured-directed Sampling, Reconstruction and Data Representation for Global Illumination
- The structure of the sampling and reconstruction process, as well as that of the scene and its data representation, can be utilised to effect significant benefits in global illumination algorithms. As an introduction, previous methods that have utilised this structure are reviewed and some possible

Accurate and Consistent Reconstruction of Illumination Functions Using Structured Sampling
- The study of common classes of diffuse emitters, such as planar convex polygons, reveals several interesting properties of the functions of illumination these emitters cast on receiver surfaces. Some properties, such as the position of the maximum and the curvature are of particular interest for sam
