Transient imaging has recently made a huge impact in the computer graphics and computer
vision fields. By capturing, reconstructing, or simulating light transport at extreme temporal …

On the foundations of many rendering algorithms it is the symmetry between the path
traversed by light and its adjoint path starting from the camera. However, several effects …

Radiative transfer equations (RTEs) with different scattering parameters can lead to identical
solution radiance fields. Similarity theory studies this effect by introducing a hierarchy of …

We describe the design space for real-time photon density estimation, the key step of
rendering global illumination (GI) via photon map**. We then detail and analyze efficient …

In this work, we introduce a novel algorithm for transient rendering in participating media.
Our method is consistent, robust and is able to generate animations of time‐resolved light …

In this section of the course notes, we will go over the fundamentals behind physically based
shading models, starting with a qualitative description of the underlying physics, followed by …

Monte‐Carlo path tracing techniques can generate stunning visualizations of medical
volumetric data. In a clinical context, such renderings turned out to be valuable for …

We present a second-order gradient analysis of light transport in participating media and
use this to develop an improved radiance caching algorithm for volumetric light transport …

We consider the scattering of light in participating media composed of sparsely and
randomly distributed discrete particles. The particle size is expected to range from the scale …

In this paper, we present Barycentric Shaders, a shading framework based on barycentric
algebra, for the development of shader functions providing intuitive art-directed control. The …
