Linear Radiosity with Error Estimation
We present a simple and inexpensive method for computing the estimates of error in a hierarchical linear radiosity method. Similar to the approach used in 1 for constant radiosity ...

Rendering Trees from Precomputed Z-Buffer Views
Parallel projection z-buffer images are precomputed for a number of preset viewing directions on the unit sphere. Using the depth information, we can reconstruct a 3-D point from e...

Spatial Domain Characterization and Control of Reconstruction Errors
Reconstruction is imperative whenever an image or a volume needs to be resampled as a result of an affine or perspective transformation, texture mapping, or volume rendering. We p...
