The planar radiosity equation and its numerical solution
نویسنده
چکیده
This article gives properties of the planar radiosity equation and methods for its numerical solution. Regularity properties of the radiosity solution are examined, including both the effects of corners and the effects of the visibility function. These are taken into account in the design of collocation methods with piecewise polynomial approximating functions. Numerical examples conclude the paper.

Numerical solution of non-planar Burgers equation by Haar wavelet method
In this paper, an efficient numerical scheme based on uniform Haar wavelets is used to solve the non-planar Burgers equation. The quasilinearization technique is used to conveniently handle the nonlinear terms in the non-planar Burgers equation. The basic idea of Haar wavelet collocation method is to convert the partial differential equation into a system of algebraic equations that involves a ...

متن کاملThe Collocation Method for Solving the Radiosity Equation for Unoccluded Surfaces
The radiosity equation occurs in computer graphics, and its solution leads to more realistic illumination for the display of surfaces. We consider the behavior of the radiosity integral operator, for smooth and piecewise smooth surfaces. A collocation method for solving the radiosity equation is proposed and analyzed. The method uses piecewise linear interpolation; and for one particular choice...
متن کاملA new formulation of differential radiosity and a rendering application
Among all the existing realistic lighting methods, the radiosity method is the only one that gives precisely an analytic solution of diffuse light exchanges. The gradient of this solution have been studied but not often used in a context of pure rendering. We present in this article a method to render a surface using the radiosity contour levels. First, we define a differential formulation of t...
متن کاملEdge Asymptotics for the Radiosity Equation over Polyhedral Boundaries
In the present paper we consider the radiosity equation over the boundary of a polyhedral domain. Similarly to corresponding results on the double layer potential equation, the solution of the second kind integral equation with non-compact integral operator is piecewise continuous. The partial derivatives, however, are not bounded. In the present paper we derive the rst term in the asymptotic e...
