Efficient Shadows for Sampled Environment Maps
This paper addresses the problem of efficiently calculating shadows from environment maps in the context of ray-tracing. Since accurate rendering of shadows from environment maps ...

Soft Shadow Maps: Efficient Sampling of Light Source Visibility
Shadows, particularly soft shadows, play an important role in the visual perception of a scene by providing visual cues about the shape and position of objects. Several recent alg...

Illumination Distribution from Brightness in Shadows: Adaptive Estimation of Illumination Distribution with Unknown Reflectance
This paper describes a new method for estimating the illumination distribution of a real scene from a radiance distribution inside shadows cast by an object in the scene. First, t...

Opacity Shadow Maps
Opacity shadow maps approximate light transmittance inside a complex volume with a set of planar opacity maps. A volume made of standard primitives (points, lines, and polygons) i...
