A framework for the analysis of error in global illumination algorithms
In this paper we identify sources of error in global illumination algorithms and derive bounds for each distinct category. Errors arise from three sources: inaccuracies in the bou...

Fast Approximate Quantitative Visibility for Complex Scenes
Ray tracing and Monte-Carlo based global illumination, as well as radiosity and other finite-element based global illumination methods, all require repeated evaluation of quantita...

Combining global and local virtual lights for detailed glossy illumination
Accurately rendering glossy materials in design applications, where previewing and interactivity are important, remains a major challenge. While many fast global illumination solu...

Exploiting Visibility Correlation in Direct Illumination
The visibility function in direct illumination describes the binary visibility over a light source, e.g., an environment map. Intuitively, the visibility is often strongly correla...

The visibility skeleton: a powerful and efficient multi-purpose global visibility tool
Many problems in computer graphics and computer vision require accurate global visibility information. Previous approaches have typically been complicated to implement and numeric...
