Abstract: The problem of global illumination is virtually synonymouswith solving the rendering equation. Although a great deal of research has been directed toward Monte Carlo and ...
In simulation modeling and analysis, there are two situations where there is uncertainty about the number of parameters needed to specify a model. The first is in input modeling w...
—Direct volume rendering is an important tool for visualizing complex data sets. However, in the process of generating 2D images from 3D data, information is lost in the form of ...
Abstract. We present a new data structure for encoding the appearance of a geometric model as seen from a viewing region (view cell). This representation can be used in interactive...
This paper develops importance resampling into a variance reduction technique for Monte Carlo integration. Importance resampling is a sample generation technique that can be used ...
