Statistical Hypothesis Testing for Assessing Monte Carlo Estimators: Applications to Image Synthesis
Image synthesis algorithms are commonly compared on the basis of running times and/or perceived quality of the generated images. In the case of Monte Carlo techniques, assessment ...

Line Drawing as a Dynamic Process
We introduce a novel mechanism for creating line drawings from three-dimensional models, which captures the dynamic nature of the drawing process. The approach takes into account ...

Image-Space Caustics and Curvatures
Caustics are important visual phenomena, as well as challenging global illumination effects in computer graphics. Physically caustics can be interpreted from one of two perspectiv...

Image-Based Proxy Accumulation for Real-Time Soft Global Illumination
We present a new, general, and real-time technique for soft global illumination in low-frequency environmental lighting. It accumulates over relatively few spherical proxies which...

Exact Evaluation of Non-Polynomial Subdivision Schemes at Rational Parameter Values
In this paper, we describe a method for exact evaluation of a limit mesh defined via subdivision on a uniform grid of any size. Other exact evaluation technique either restrict t...

The Mental Canvas: A Tool for Conceptual Architectural Design and Analysis
We describe a computer graphics system that supports conceptual architectural design and analysis. We use as a starting point the traditional sketchbook drawings that architects u...
