dc.description.abstractImage Synthesis research combines new ideas with existing techniques. A collection of software modules that provide such techniques is extremely useful for simplifying the development process. We describe the design and implementation of a new Testbed for Image Synthesis that provides such support. This Testbed differs from previous Testbeds in both its goals and its design decisions. The Testbed design addresses the problems of high model complexity, complicated global illumination algorithms and coarse grain parallel processing environments. The implementation is modular, portable and extensible. It allows for statistical comparison of algorithms and measurement of incremental image improvements, as well as quantitative comparison of Testbed images and light reflectance measured from physical models. The Testbed is designed to interface with any available modeling system. This compatibility was achieved through careful design of the data format that represents environments. The software modules of the Testbed are organized in a hierarchical fashion, simplifying application programming.en_US
