چکیده

In this paper we introduce the concept of the global reflection distribution function which allows concise formulation of the global illumination problem. Unlike previous formulations it is not geared towards any specific algorithm. As an example of its versatility we derive a Monte Carlo rendering algorithm that seamlessly integrates the ideas of shooting and gathering power to create photorealistic images.

Towards perceptual control of physically based spectral rendering

Realistic rendering research focuses on generating images that should be perceived the same way as a real scene. We will describe a physically based spectral framework where energy, materials and light field are wavelength dependent. To reduce the computational load we also make use of the high variations of the human vision sensitivity to adapt the accuracy of every computation. As no comprehe...

A Texture Mapping Approach for the Visualization of Special Relativity

This paper describes a novel rendering technique for the special relativistic visualization of the apparent geometry of fast moving objects. This method is based on the relativistic aberration of light and makes use of texture mapping. Interactive frame rates are possible, since texture mapping is supported by modern graphics hardware. Unlike the well-known relativistic polygon rendering approa...

Exposure Render: An Interactive Photo-Realistic Volume Rendering Framework

The field of volume visualization has undergone rapid development during the past years, both due to advances in suitable computing hardware and due to the increasing availability of large volume datasets. Recent work has focused on increasing the visual realism in Direct Volume Rendering (DVR) by integrating a number of visually plausible but often effect-specific rendering techniques, for ins...
