Improved Illumination Estimation for Photon Maps in Architectural Scenes

The photon map algorithm provides a number of advantages for fast global illumination algorithms. In order to calculate the illumination at each point in a scene, the photon density needs to be estimated. Standard estimation methods will have problems with typical architectural scenes, as walls and corners will lead to undesirable light and shadow leaks. We introduce a new method for estimating...
