Screen-Space Ambient Occlusion by Unsharp Masking of the Depth Buffer
نویسندگان
چکیده
With the advent of the programmable graphics pipeline, it has become possible to move expensive rendering processes to the GPU for real-time computation. The demand for realistic real-time rendering in games has led to the creation of GPU shaders that approximate global illumination. Our project is an implementation of one such approximation known as screen-space ambient occlusion (SSAO).

Smooth Probabilistic Ambient Occlusion for Volume Rendering
Ambient occlusion [Zhukov et al. 98] is a compelling approach to improve depth and shape perception [Lindemann and Ropinski 11, Langer and Bülthoff 99], to give the illusion of global illumination, and it is an efficient way to approximate low-frequency outdoor lighting. In principle, ambient occlusion computes the light accessibility of a point, i.e., it measures how much a point is exposed to...
متن کاملLine-Sweep Ambient Obscurance
Screen-space ambient occlusion and obscurance have become established methods for rendering global illumination effects in real-time applications. While they have seen a steady line of refinements, their computational complexity has remained largely unchanged and either undersampling artefacts or too high render times limit their scalability. In this paper we show how the fundamentally quadrati...
متن کاملHigh-Quality Screen-Space Ambient Occlusion using Temporal Coherence
Ambient occlusion is a cheap but effective approximation of global illumination. Recently, screen-space ambient occlusion (SSAO) methods, which sample the frame buffer as a discretization of the scene geometry, have become very popular for real-time rendering. We present temporal SSAO (TSSAO), a new algorithm which exploits temporal coherence to produce high-quality ambient occlusion in real ti...

متن کاملDeep g-buffers for stable global illumination approximation
We introduce a new hardware-accelerated method for constructing Deep G-buffers that is 2x-8x faster than the previous depth peeling method and produces more stable results. We then build several high-performance shading algorithms atop our representation, including dynamic diffuse interreflection, ambient occlusion (AO), and mirror reflection effects. Our construction method s order-independent...
