A Fast Deferred Shading Pipeline for Real Time Approximate Indirect Illumination

چکیده
In this paper, we present a deferred shading algorithm for computing iapproximate screen-space multi-bounce indirect illumination with visibility, in real time. For each frame, we compute mipmapped G-Buffers of depth, normals, illumination and voxelized geometry. To each mipmap level we apply a single shader that gathers screen-space illumination using local Monte-Carlo integration. We upsample the illumination for all levels and smoothly combine them together. Our calculation is approximate but does not show artifacts, because it relies on noise-free Monte-Carlo integration of incoming illumination and temporal filtering. Our method simulates arbitrary distant illumination including visibility at a very low cost, because we only perform local texture lookups during computation. Besides, its deferred shading nature makes it independent of geometric and lighting complexity.

Notre méthode est compatible avec la technique du deferred shading utilisée dans les jeux vidéos. Elle est basée sur un calcul multi-echelles de l’éclairage dans un mipmap, qui est ensuite re-combiné et composé avec l’eclairage direct. L’eclairage ainsi calculé est approximatif, mais sans artéfacts visuels, car nous utilisons un filtre temporel et spatial pour réduire efficacement la variance due à l’échantillonnage. Notre méthode calcule l’éclairage indirect à distance quelconque, en prennant en compte la visibilité. Son coût reste très faible car elle n’effectue que des requètes locales dans les G-buffers. Son coût est par nature indépendant de la complexité géometrique et photométrique de l’image.

متن کاملHierarchical Screen-Space Indirect Illumination for Video Games
Indirect lighting accounts for subtle but essential effects in virtual scenes, and plays a great role in our perception of geometry. It is especially wanted in video games, on fully dynamic scenes, where it greatly enhances the perceived realism. In this paper, we present a screen-space hierarchical algorithm for computing indirect lighting for animated scenes. Our algorithm is fully compatible...

This paper describes the implementation of a real-time global illumination model (atmospheric scattering and transparency) based on deferred rendering for the realization of virtual test drives used for the evaluation of camera based ADAS. Atmospheric scattering and transparent objects (e.g. windows) contribute to a realistic visualization of outdoor street scenes. However, both are not conside...

We present Aggregate G-Buffer Anti-Aliasing (AGAA), a new technique for efficient anti-aliased deferred rendering of complex geometry using modern graphics hardware. In geometrically complex situations where many surfaces intersect a pixel, current rendering systems shade each contributing surface at least once per pixel. As the sample density and geometric complexity increase, the shading cost...
