Exploiting Visibility Correlation in Direct Illumination
The visibility function in direct illumination describes the binary visibility over a light source, e.g., an environment map. Intuitively, the visibility is often strongly correla...

Hierarchical Z-buffer visibility
An ideal visibility algorithm should a) quickly reject most of the hidden geometry in a model and b) exploit the spatial and perhaps temporal coherence of the images being generat...

Load Balancing in Mesh-like Computations using Prediction Binary Trees
We present a load-balancing technique that exploits the temporal coherence, among successive computation phases, in mesh-like computations to be mapped on a cluster of processors....

Metropolis Photon Sampling with Optional User Guidance
We present Metropolis Photon Sampling (MPS), a visual importance-driven algorithm for populating photon maps. Photon Mapping and other particle tracing algorithms fail if the phot...

Thrifty Final Gather for Radiosity
Finite Element methods are well suited to the computation of the light distribution in mostly diffuse scenes, but the resulting mesh is often far from optimal to accurately represe...
