A Frequency Analysis of Light Transport from theory to implementation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The simulation of complex light effects such as depth-of-field, motion blur or scattering in participating media requires a tremendous amount of computation. But the resulting pictures are often blurry. We claim that those regions should be computed sparsely to reduce their cost. To do so, we propose a method covariance tracing that estimates the local variations of a signal. This method is based on a extended frequency analysis of light transport and permits to build efficient algorithms that distribute the cost of low frequency parts of the simulation of light transport. This thesis presents an improvement over the frequency analysis of local light-fields introduced by Durand et al. [47]. We add into this analysis of light transport operations such as rough refractions, motion and participating media effects. We further improve the analysis of previously defined operations to handle non-planar occlusions of light, anisotropic BRDFs and multiple lenses. We present covariance tracing, a method to evaluate the covariance matrix of the local light-field spectrum on a per light-path basis. We show that covariance analysis is defined for all the defined Fourier operators. Furthermore, covariance analysis is compatible with Monte Carlo integration making it practical to study distributed effects. We show the use of covariance tracing with various applications ranging from motion blur and depth-of-field adaptive sampling and filtering, photon mapping kernel size estimation and adaptive sampling of volumetric effects. Résumé Cette thèse présente une extension de l’analyse fréquentielle des light-fields locaux introduite par Durand et al. [47]. Nous ajoutons à cette analyse l’étude d’operateurs tels que la réfraction par des surfaces spéculaires et non-spéculaires, le mouvement et les milieux participatifs. Nous étendons des opérateurs précédement définis pour permettre l’étude d’occlusions non planaires, des BRDFs anisotropes et les lentilles multiples. Nous présentons l’analyse de la covariance du transport de la lumière, une méthode pour estimer la matrice de covariance d’un light-field local à partir de l’ensemble des opérations auquels est soumis le light-field. Nous montrons l’application de cet outil avec plusieurs applications permettant le sampling adaptatif et le filtrage de flous de bougé ou de profondeur de champ, l’estimation des tailles de noyaux de reconstruction pour les photons et les photon beams ainsi que le sampling adaptatif des effets volumiques.

متن کاملA Comparative Review of Global Transportation Energy Outlook
In 2010, the global transport sector consumed about 2,200 million tons of oil equivalent. About 96% of this amount came from oil. It shows that more than 60% of the oil consumed globally goes to the transportation sector. Road transport accounts for the bulk of the transportation energy consumption. The light-duty vehicles (LDVs), including light trucks, light commercial vehicles, and minibuses...
