Monte Carlo integration is firmly established as the basis for most practical realistic image
synthesis algorithms because of its flexibility and generality. However, the visual quality of …

Thoroughly revised, this third edition focuses on modern techniques used to generate
synthetic three-dimensional images in a fraction of a second. With the advent of …

We introduce a reconstruction algorithm that generates a temporally stable sequence of
images from one path-per-pixel global illumination. To handle such noisy input, we use …

We propose a novel approach for denoising Monte Carlo path traced images, which uses
data from individual samples rather than relying on pixel aggregates. Samples are …

Real‐time ray tracing (RTRT) is being pervasively applied. The key to RTRT is a reliable
denoising scheme that reconstructs clean images from significantly undersampled noisy …

Bokeh is widely used in photography to draw attention to the subject while effectively
isolating distractions in the background. Computational methods can simulate bokeh effects …

Soft shadows, depth of field, and diffuse global illumination are common distribution effects,
usually rendered by Monte Carlo ray tracing. Physically correct, noise-free images can …

We present a texture space caching and reconstruction system for Monte Carlo ray tracing.
Our system gathers and filters shading on-demand, including querying secondary rays …

Simulating combinations of depth-of-field and motion blur is an important factor to cinematic
quality in synthetic images but can take long to compute. Splatting the point-spread function …

Monte Carlo (MC) ray-tracing for photo-realistic rendering often requires hours to render a
single image due to the large sampling rates needed for convergence. Previous methods …
