The interaction of light and matter in the world surrounding us is of striking complexity and
beauty. Since the very beginning of computer graphics, adequate modelling of these …

This paper is focused on the Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) in the
context of algorithms for computational production of realistic synthetic images. We provide a …

Thoroughly revised, this third edition focuses on modern techniques used to generate
synthetic three-dimensional images in a fraction of a second. With the advent of …

Given a set of images of a scene, the re-rendering of this scene from novel views and
lighting conditions is an important and challenging problem in Computer Vision and …

This book provides a fundamental understanding of global illumination algorithms. It
discusses a broad class of algorithms for realistic image synthesis and introduces a …

A virtual reality or augmented reality experience of a scene may be decoded for playback for
a viewer through a combination of CPU and GPU processing. A video stream may be …

We compress storage and accelerate performance of precomputed radiance transfer (PRT),
which captures the way an object shadows, scatters, and reflects light. PRT records over …

This paper focuses on efficient rendering based on pre-computed light transport, with
realistic materials and shadows under all-frequency direct lighting such an environment …

This paper presents a new set of hemispherical basis functions dedicated to hemispherical
data representation. These functions are derived from associated Legendre polynomials …
