Evaluating pixel shaders consumes a growing share of the computational budget for real-time applications. However, the significant temporal coherence in visible surface regions, ...

We propose a metric for surface parameterization specialized to its signal that can be used to create more efficient, high-quality texture maps. Derived from Taylor expansion of s...

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 result of a scene manipulation is usually displayed by rerendering the entire image even if the change has affected only a small portion of it. This paper presents a system th...
We introduce a method based on precomputed radiance transfer (PRT) that allows interactive rendering of glossy surfaces and includes shadowing effects from dynamic, “all-frequen...
