We propose a new method for greatly accelerating the computation of complex, detailed shadows in a radiosity solution. Radiosity is computed using a "standard" hierarchi...

Image warping is desirable in the context of image-based rendering because it increases the set of viewpoints for which a single image can be used. This paper proposes a method for...
