Radiance Caching and Local Geometry Correction A new method that computes indirect illumination by approximating the energy from distant surfaces and nearby surfaces separately. Okan Arikan University of California, Berkeley okan (at) cs.berkeley.edu David A. Forsyth James F. O'Brien University of California, Berkeley
Image-Based Lighting Using a Piecewise-Constant Importance Function An unbiased Monte Carlo scheme for incorporating an image-based light source into a global illumination renderer. Jonathan M. Cohen Rhythm & Hues Studios jcohen (at) rhythm.com
Inelastic Scattering in Participating Media Using Curved Photon Mapping Lucifer is a global illumination environment capable of handling inhomogeneous, participating media while taking into account multiple inelastic scattering. Several mechanisms of the human visual system are also computed. Diego Gutierrez Universidad de Zaragoza diegog (at) unizar.es Oscar Anson Adolfo Muñoz Francisco J. Seron Universidad de Zaragoza
Ray Maps for Global Illumination A data structure for representing light transport. Whole-ray sequences for proximity queries are stored. Application: density estimation including conservative update for moving objects.
