A Visibility-Aware Model for Pre-Filtering and Rendering Surfaces in Real-Time

چکیده
We present a multiscale surface appearance representation and a rendering model that accounts for the subpixel visibility distribution. Starting from this model, we propose a method for pre-filtering detailed surfaces and their attributes. Our representation of the filtered attributes takes the correlation with their visibility into account. The masking and shadowing effects lost in geometric filtering of the surface can thus be recovered at rendering. This grants high visual quality of subpixel effects while ensuring a nearly constant per pixel computation complexity. Besides, accounting for subpixel occlusion naturally anti-aliases geometry. The computational model we propose has low memory and computational time requirements, and is thus well-suited for real-time rendering.

En partant de ce modèle, nous proposons une méthode pour préfiltrer les surfaces détaillées et leurs attributs. Notre représentation filtrée des attributs surfaciques tient compte de leur corrélation avec leur visibilité et permet de reconstruire, au moment du rendu, les effets de masquage et d’ombrage perdus dans le filtrage géométrique de la surface. Ceci permet une grande qualité visuelle des effets sous-pixel avec un seul échantillon par pixel. En outre, la prise en compte des occlusions sous-pixel antialiase naturellement la géométrie. Le modèle de calcul et l’implémentation proposés sont légers en terme de stockage mémoire et en temps de calcul et satisfont les exigences d’un rendu temps-réel.

Visually pleasing real-time global illumination rendering for fully-dynamic scenes
Global illumination (GI) rendering plays a crucial role in the photo-realistic rendering of virtual scenes. With the rapid development of graphics hardware, GI has become increasingly attractive even for real-time applications nowadays. However, the computation of physically-correct global illumination is time-consuming and cannot achieve real-time, or even interactive performance. Although the...
متن کاملSampling Visibility in Three-Space
We present a visibility algorithm that is based on sampling the scene for visible surfaces. The subset of lines for which the visibility is pre-calculated is defined by a two-plane parameterization. Each sample represents the portion of geometry that is visible for the lines through that sample’s region. Lumping geometry together in grid cells allows achieving visibility at a coarser level, and...

State estimation is the foundation of any control and decision making in power networks. The first requirement for a secure network is a precise and safe state estimator in order to make decisions based on accurate knowledge of the network status. This paper introduces a new estimator which is able to detect bad data with few calculations without need for repetitions and estimation residual cal...
متن کاملReal-time Rendering of Dynamic Scenes under All-frequency Lighting using Integral Spherical Gaussian
We propose an efficient rendering method for dynamic scenes under all-frequency environmental lighting. To render the surfaces of objects illuminated by distant environmental lighting, the triple product of the lighting, the visibility function and the BRDF is integrated at each shading point on the surfaces. Our method represents the environmental lighting and the BRDF with a linear combinatio...
متن کاملHierarchical Techniques for Visibility Computations
Visibility computation is crucial for computer graphics from its very beginning. The first visibility algorithms aimed to determine visible lines or surfaces in a synthesized image of a 3D scene. Nowadays there is a plethora of visibility algorithms for various applications. The thesis proposes a taxonomy of visibility problems based on the dimension of the problem-relevant line set, i.e. set o...
