This book explores the methods needed for creating and manipulating HDR content. HDR is
a step change from traditional imaging; more closely matching what we see with our eyes. In …

Monte Carlo techniques for light transport simulation rely on importance sampling when
constructing light transport paths. Previous work has shown that suitable sampling …

Photo‐realistic rendering of virtual objects into real scenes is one of the most important
research problems in computer graphics. Methods for capture and rendering of mixed reality …

While Russian roulette (RR) and splitting are considered fundamental importance sampling
techniques in neutron transport simulations, they have so far received relatively little …

A central challenge in data visualization is to understand which data samples are required to
generate an image of a data set in which the relevant information is encoded. In this article …

Interactive high-fidelity rendering is still unachievable on many consumer devices. Cloud
gaming services have shown promise in delivering interactive graphics beyond the …

The human visual system is sensitive to relative differences in luminance, but light transport
simulation algorithms based on Metropolis sampling often result in a highly nonuniform …

The recent introduction of high dynamic range (HDR) video cameras has enabled the
development of image based lighting techniques for rendering virtual objects illuminated …

Techniques for illuminating an indoor scene. A directional distribution associated with the
indoor scene is received. The indoor scene has a first scene element and a first …

This paper proposes an adaptive photon tracing approach based on a novel importance
function, which combines visual importance and photon path visibility. The generation of …
