Fast global illumination computation is a challenge in several fields such as lighting simulation and computergenerated visual effects for movies. To this end, the irradiance cac...
The growing use of digital signal processors (DSPs) in embedded systems necessitates the use of optimizing compilers supporting special hardware features. Due to the irregular arc...
Soft shadows and penumbra regions generated by extended light sources such as linear and area lights are visual effects that significantly contribute to the realism of a scene. In ...
