We reformulate the rendering equation to alleviate the need for explicit visibility computation,
thus enabling interactive global illumination on graphics hardware. This is achieved by …

Lighting design is often tedious due to the required physical manipulation of real light
sources and objects. As an alternative, we present an interactive system to virtually modify …

Global illumination algorithms are regarded as computationally intensive. This cost is a
practical problem when producing animations or when interactions with complex models are …

In this paper we present a new efficient approach for radiative heat transfer simulations for
various applications in engineering, combining existing approaches from different fields of …

Visibility determination, the process of deciding what surfaces can be seen from a certain
point, is one of the fundamental problems in computer graphics. Its importance has long …

This paper presents a new hierarchical simulation algorithm allowing the calculation of
radiosity solutions for time-dependent scenes where all motion is known a priori. Such …

We present an integrated global illumination algorithm including non‐diffuse light transport
which can handle complex scenes and enables rapid incremental updates. We build on a …

Ce travail porte sur la simulation de champs sonores de haute qualité pour des applications
graphiques interactives. Dans ce cadre, nous nous sommes intéressé à trois problèmes: le …

Les problèmes de visibilité sont centraux pour bien des applications en synthèse d'images.
Les exemples les plus classiques sont le calcul de vue, les limites d'ombres, la visibilité …

This paper proposes an efficient method for the production of high quality radiosity solutions
which uses an a priori knowledge of the dynamic properties of the scene to exploit temporal …
