Monte Carlo integration is firmly established as the basis for most practical realistic image
synthesis algorithms because of its flexibility and generality. However, the visual quality of …

Recently, virtual reality (VR) technology has been widely used in medical, military,
manufacturing, entertainment, and other fields. These applications must simulate different …

Visual metrics can play an important role in the evaluation of novel lighting, rendering, and
imaging algorithms. Unfortunately, current metrics only work well for narrow intensity ranges …

Visual quality evaluation has numerous uses in practice, and also plays a central role in
sha** many visual processing algorithms and systems, as well as their implementation …

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 …

We present a modular convolutional architecture for denoising rendered images. We
expand on the capabilities of kernel-predicting networks by combining them with a number …

Level of detail (LOD) techniques are increasingly used by professional real-time developers
to strike the balance between breathtaking virtual worlds and smooth, flowing animation …

We present a simple texture synthesis algorithm that is well-suited for a specific class of
naturally occurring textures. This class includes quasi-repeating patterns consisting of small …

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

In the research field of image processing, mean squared error (MSE) and peak signal-to-
noise ratio (PSNR) are extensively adopted as the objective visual quality metrics, mainly …
