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...
Abstract. We present an algorithm for interpolating the visible portions of a point cloud that are sampled from opaque objects in the environment. Our algorithm projects point clou...
Texture mapping has become indispensable in image synthesis as an inexpensive source of rich visual detail. Less obvious, but just as useful, is its ability to mask image errors d...

We present a novel approach to ray tracing execution on commodity graphics hardware using CUDA. We decompose
a standard ray tracing algorithm into several data-parallel stages tha...
Image-space simplifications have been used to accelerate the calculation of computer graphic images since the dawn of visual simulation. Texture mapping has been used to provide a...
