The interaction of light and matter in the world surrounding us is of striking complexity and
beauty. Since the very beginning of computer graphics, adequate modelling of these …

High dynamic range (HDR) imaging comprises a range of techniques for capturing, storing,
editing, transmitting, and displaying images and video with an extended range of values …

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 …

Relighting is an essential step in realistically transferring objects from a captured image into
another environment. For example, authentic telepresence in Augmented Reality requires …

This book provides a fundamental understanding of global illumination algorithms. It
discusses a broad class of algorithms for realistic image synthesis and introduces a …

Light scattering from hair is normally simulated in computer graphics using Kajiya and Kay's
classic phenomenological model. We have made new measurements of scattering from …

Lightcuts is a scalable framework for computing realistic illumination. It handles arbitrary
geometry, non-diffuse materials, and illumination from a wide variety of sources including …

This paper focuses on efficient rendering based on pre-computed light transport, with
realistic materials and shadows under all-frequency direct lighting such an environment …

This paper presents a novel method for efficiently generating a good sampling pattern given
an importance density over a 2D domain. A Penrose tiling is hierarchically subdivided …

High-quality Monte Carlo image synthesis requires the ability to importance sample realistic
BRDF models. However, analytic sampling algorithms exist only for the Phong model and its …
