Rendering participating media is important for a number of domains, ranging from
commercial applications (entertainment, virtual reality) to simulation systems (driving, flying …

In this paper, we present a ray tracing-based method for accelerated global illumination
computation in scenes with low-frequency glossy BRDFs. The method is based on sparse …

We describe a new mathematical framework for solving a wide variety of rendering problems
based on a non-linear integral scattering equation. This framework treats the scattering …

Computer augmented reality (CAR) is a rapidly emerging field which enables users to mix
real and virtual worlds. Our goal is to provide interactive tools to perform common …

The paper presents a new radiosity algorithm that allows the simultaneous computation of
energy exchanges between surface elements, scattering volume distributions, and groups of …

We reformulate the rendering equation to alleviate the need for explicit visibility computation,
thus enabling interactive global illumination on graphics hardware. This is achieved by …

In this paper, we present a system for interactive computation of global illumination in
dynamic scenes. Our system uses a novel scheme for caching the results of a high quality …

We describe a complete lighting simulation system tailored for the difficult case of vegetation
scenes. Our algorithm is based on hierarchical instantiation for radiosity and precise phase …
