Gradient-Domain Bidirectional Path Tracing
Gradient-domain path tracing has recently been introduced as an efficient realistic image synthesis algorithm. This paper introduces a bidirectional gradient-domain sampler that outperforms traditional bidirectional path tracing often by a factor of two to five in terms of squared error at equal render time. It also improves over unidirectional gradient-domain path tracing in challenging visibi...

متن کاملRendering Participating Media with Bidirectional Path Tracing
In this paper we show how bidirectional path tracing can be extended to handle global illumination effects due to participating media. The resulting image-based algorithm is computationally expensive but more versatile than previous solutions. It correctly handles multiple scattering in non-homogeneous, anisotropic media in complex illumination situations. We illustrate its specific advantages ...
متن کاملA Parallel Implementation of Bidirectional Ray Tracing on Transputer-based System
This paper describes a parallel processing scheme for bidirectional ray tracing which improves the reality of the image drastically. It is organized from two stages, i.e. light ray tracing and viewing ray tracing. In light ray tracing, pairs of a light source and an element of objects are distributed to each processor dynamically. In viewing ray tracing, we use a screen subdivision al gorithm....
متن کاملAnalytical Computation of Acoustic Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Functions
The Room Acoustic Rendering Equation introduced in [1] formalizes a variety of room acoustics modeling algorithms. One key concept in the equation is the Acoustic Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (A-BRDF) which is the term that models sound reflections. In this paper, we present a method to compute analytically the A-BRDF in cases with diffuse reflections parametrized by random v...
