HIRAD: A Hierarchical Higher Order Radiosity Implementation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we describe our hierarchical higher order radiosity implementation, called HIRAD. We present a number of improvements to the original wavelet radiosity method: We propose new basis functions for (convex) quadrilaterals and for triangles offering finer granularity than the usual product-1D bases, a new refinement criterion for hierarchical refinement and a very general strategy for maintaining a consistent hierarchical representation of radiance.

A novel approach makes higher order wavelets really efficient for radiosity
Since wavelets were introduced in the radiosity algorithm5, surprisingly little research has been devoted to higher order wavelets and their use in radiosity algorithms. A previous study13 has shown that wavelet radiosity, and especially higher order wavelet radiosity was not bringing significant improvements over hierarchical radiosity and was having a very important extra memory cost, thus pr...
متن کاملHierarchical Higher Order Face Cluster Radiosity
We present an algorithm for simulating diffuse interreflection in scenes composed of highly tessellated objects. The method is a higher order extension of the face cluster radiosity technique. It combines face clustering, multiresolution visibility, vector radiosity, and higher order bases with a modified progressive shooting iteration to rapidly produce visually continuous solutions with limit...

Although Hierarchical Radiosity was a big step forward for nite element computations in the context of global illumination, the algorithm can hardly cope with scenes of more than medium complexity. The reason is that Hierarchical Radiosity requires an initial linking step, comparing all pairs of initial objects in the scene. These initial objects are then hierarchically subdivided in order to a...

We address in this paper the issue of computing diffuse global illumination solutions for animation sequences. The principal difficulties lie in the computational complexity of global illumination, emphasized by the movement of objects and the large number of frames to compute, as well as the potential for creating temporal discontinuities in the illumination, a particularly noticeable artifact...

The efficient generation of photorealistic images is one of the main subjects in the field of computer graphics. In contrast to simple image generation which is directly supported by standard 3D graphics hardware, photorealistic image synthesis strongly adheres to the physics describing the flow of light in a given environment. By simulating the energy flow in a 3D scene global effects like sha...
