Abstract We present an efficient method for importance sampling the product of multiple functions. Our algorithm computes a quick approximation of the product on-the-fly, based on ...
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...
Abstract. The appearance of an object greatly changes under different lighting conditions. Even so, previous studies have demonstrated that the appearance of an object under varyin...
Abstract. We present two data-driven importance distributions for particle filterbased articulated tracking; one based on background subtraction, another on depth information. In ...
A general light transfer simulation algorithm for environments composed of materials with arbitrary reflectance functions is presented. This algorithm removes the previous practic...
