Adaptive LightSlice for Virtual Ray Lights

چکیده
We speed up the rendering of participating media with Virtual Ray Lights (VRLs) by clustering them in a preprocessing step. A subset of representative VRLs is then sampled from the clustering, which is used for the final rendering. By performing a full variance analysis, we can explicitly estimate the convergence rate of the rendering process and automatically find the locally ideal number of clusters to maximize efficiency. Overall, we report speed-up factors ranging from 13 to 16 compared to unclustered rendering.

Global Illumination Using Well-Separated Pair Decomposition
Instant radiosity methods rely on using a large number of virtual point lights (VPLs) to approximate global illumination. Efficiency considerations require grouping the VPLs into a small number of clusters that are treated as individual lights with respect to each point to be shaded. Two examples of clustering algorithms are Lightcuts [WFA∗05] and LightSlice [OP11]. In this work we use the noti...
متن کاملProgressive Virtual Beam Lights
A recent technique that forms virtual ray lights (VRLs) from path segments in media, reduces the artifacts common to VPL approaches in participating media, however, distracting singularities still remain. We present Virtual Beam Lights (VBLs), a progressive many-lights algorithm for rendering complex indirect transport paths in, from, and to media. VBLs are efficient and can handle heterogeneou...
متن کاملAdaptive Virtual Traffic Light Based on Vanets for Mitigating Congestion in Smart City
Fixed cycle traffic lights decrease the throughput of traffic at intersections. Adaptive traffic light approaches dynamically change the cycle of traffic lights according to current traffic, these approaches usually improves traffic. However, it costs many resources to maintain all physical traffic lights in a city, and conventional adaptive traffic light approaches were designed for physical t...
متن کاملMany-Lights Real Time Global Illumination Using Sparse Voxel Octree
The many-lights real time Global Illumination (GI) algorithm is promising but requires many shadow maps to be generated for Virtual Point Light (VPL) visibility tests, which reduces its efficiency. Prior solutions restrict either the number or accuracy of shadow map updates, which may lower the accuracy of indirect illumination or prevent the rendering of fully dynamic scenes. In this paper, we...
متن کاملA Light Hierarchy for Fast Rendering of Scenes with Many Lights
We introduce a new data structure in the form of a light hierarchy for efficiently ray-tracing scenes with many light sources. An octree is constructed with the point light sources in a scene. Each node represents all the light sources it contains by means of a virtual light source. We determine bounds on the error committed with this approximation to shade a point, both for the cases of diffus...
