A New Microflake Model With Microscopic Self-shadowing for Accurate Volume Downsampling
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
Naive linear methods for downsampling high-resolution microflake volumes often produce inaccurate appearance, especially when input voxels are very opaque. Preserving correct appearance at all resolutions requires taking ...
Deep Adaptive Sampling for Low Sample Count Rendering
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
Recently, deep learning approaches have proven successful at removing noise from Monte Carlo (MC) rendered images at extremely low sampling rates, e.g., 1-4 samples per pixel (spp). While these methods provide dramatic ...
Efficient Caustic Rendering with Lightweight Photon Mapping
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
Robust and efficient rendering of complex lighting effects, such as caustics, remains a challenging task. While algorithms like vertex connection and merging can render such effects robustly, their significant overhead ...
Stratified Sampling of Projected Spherical Caps
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
We present a method for uniformly sampling points inside the projection of a spherical cap onto a plane through the sphere's center. To achieve this, we devise two novel area-preserving mappings from the unit square to ...
Handling Fluorescence in a Uni-directional Spectral Path Tracer
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
We present two separate improvements to the handling of fluorescence effects in modern uni-directional spectral rendering systems. The first is the formulation of a new distance tracking scheme for fluorescent volume ...
Feature Generation for Adaptive Gradient-Domain Path Tracing
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)
In this paper, we propose a new technique to incorporate recent adaptive rendering approaches built upon local regression theory into a gradient-domain path tracing framework, in order to achieve high-quality rendering ...
