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 …

Thoroughly revised, this third edition focuses on modern techniques used to generate
synthetic three-dimensional images in a fraction of a second. With the advent of …

The rapid increase in the performance of graphics hardware, coupled with recent
improvements in its programmability, have made graphics hardware a compelling platform …

Hybrid renewable energy systems (RESs) are being widely utilized as an alternate source of
energy for mitigating the rapidly increasing energy demand. Explicit representation of the …

Rendering complex scenes with indirect illumination, high dynamic range environment
lighting, and many direct light sources remains a challenging problem. Prior work has shown …

This paper presents a GPU-based method for interactive global illumination that integrates
complex effects such as multi-bounce indirect lighting, glossy reflections, caustics, and …

We present a real-time rendering scheme that reuses shading samples from earlier time
frames to achieve practical antialiasing of procedural shaders. Using a reprojection strategy …

This paper presents an interactive GPU-based system for cinematic relighting with multiple-
bounce indirect illumination from a fixed view-point. We use a deep frame-buffer containing …

We introduce a meshless hierarchical representation for solving light transport problems.
Precomputed radiance transfer (PRT) and finite elements require a discrete representation …

Readily available RGB-D cameras in smart phones and improving 3D scanning
technologies have made it possible to produce detailed point cloud and point-based models …
