چکیده

This paper presents an enhanced transillumination radiosity method that can provide accurate solutions at relatively low computational cost. The proposed algorithm breaks down the double integral of the gathered power to an area integral that is computed analytically and to a directional integral that is evaluated by quasi-Monte Carlo or Monte-Carlo techniques. The paper also analyses the requirements of the convergence, presents theoretical error bounds and proposes error reduction techniques. The theoretical bounds are compared with simulation results.

Hybrid Radiosity/Monte Carlo Methods

Monte Carlo methods refer to any method that uses random numbers to get an approximate answer to a problem. In computer graphics Monte Carlo techniques can be used to perform radiosity calculations and can be used in distribution ray tracing for effects such as soft shadows and motion blur. Although these notes are for a course on radiosity, they have a great deal of material from a previous Si...

A Quasi-Monte Carlo Algorithm for the Global Illumination Problem in the Radiosity Setting

One of the main problems in computer graphics is to solve the global illumination problem, which is given by a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind, called the radiance equation (REQ). In order to achieve realistic images, a very complex kernel of the integral equation, modelling all physical effects of light, must be considered. Due to this complexity Monte Carlo methods seem to be an...

Radiosity with Well Distributed Ray Sets

In this paper we present a new radiosity algorithm, based on the notion of a well distributed ray set (WDRS). A WDRS is a set of rays, connecting mutually visible points and patches, that forms an approximate representation of the radiosity operator and the radiosity distribution. We propose an algorithm that constructs an optimal WDRS for a given accuracy and mesh. The construction is based on...

Quasi - Monte Carlo Methods in Computer Graphics

The problem of global illumination in computer graphics is described by a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. Due to the complexity of this equation, Monte Carlo methods provide an efficient tool for the estimation of the solution. A new approach, using quasi-Monte Carlo integration, is introduced and compared to Monte Carlo integration. We discuss some theoretical aspects and give n...
