The most important component of photorealism in Computer Graphics is given by a
physically correct approximation of the light transport. Besides the direct illumination from …

In the past few years, advances in graphics hardware have fuelled an explosion of research
and development in the field of interactive and real‐time rendering in screen space …

Ray tracing on the GPU has been synergistically operating alongside rasterisation in
interactive rendering engines for some time now, in order to accurately capture certain …

Ray tracing is a rendering technique in computer graphics that can simulate a variety of
optical effects, such as reflection from smooth surfaces, refraction through transparent …

This thesis introduces scalable techniques that advance the state-of-the-art in massive
model creation and exploration. Concerning model creation, we present methods for …

Photorealistic image synthesis relies heavily on the concept of ray tracing. The problem of
ray tracing is to find the nearest intersection between a given ray and scene primitives …
