Fast and realistic synthesis of real videos with computer generated content has been a
challenging problem in computer graphics. It involves computationally expensive light …

Irradiance caching is a ray tracing-based technique for computing global illumination on
diffuse surfaces. Specifically, it addresses the computation of indirect illumination bouncing …

We present a novel approach to improve temporal coherence in Monte Carlo renderings of
animation sequences. Unlike other approaches that exploit temporal coherence in a post …

Rendering animations of scenes with deformable objects, camera motion, and complex
illumination, including indirect lighting and arbitrary shading, is a long‐standing challenge …

Global illumination provides important visual cues to an animation, however its
computational expense limits its use in practice. In this paper, we present an easy to …

Figure 1: Our temporal caching method allows the reuse of irradiance and radiance records
in multiple frames. When computing the global illumination solution for the current frame (a) …

The render cache and the edge-and-point image (EPI) are techniques that permit high
quality rendering at interactive rates of models illuminated with complex ray traced …

The irradiance cache is an acceleration data structure which caches indirect diffuse samples
within the framework of a distributed ray-tracing algorithm. Previously calculated values can …

Rendering physically-accurate images of complex scenes without incurring the costly
rendering times commonly associated with realistic image synthesis is one of the major …

Currently 3D animation rendering and video compression are completely independent
processes even if rendered frames are streamed on‐the‐fly within a client‐server platform …
