Efficient Rendering of Radiosity using Textures and Bicubic Reconstruction
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a method to speed up walkthroughs of static scenes. It involves the creation of a continuousC1 radiosity reconstruction for adaptively sampled regions. This representation is a unified solution to handle unrestricted quadtrees and T-vertices, and allows for the generation of multiple different levels-of-detail of the radiosity function, which is represented as texture maps. The method also involves the use of hardware bicubic filtering for the radiosity display. Both techniques allow improvements in performance and memory usage while preserving visual appearance.

Automatic Calculation of Soft Shadow Textures for Fast, High-Quality Radiosity
We propose a new method for greatly accelerating the computation of complex, detailed shadows in a radiosity solution. Radiosity is computed using a “standard” hierarchical radiosity algorithm with clustering, but the rapid illumination variations over some large regions receiving complex shadows are computed on the fly using an efficient convolution operation, and displayed as textures. This a...
متن کاملSmart Links and Efficient Reconstruction for Wavelet Radiosity
Wavelet radiosity is the uniication of two important methods to solve the radiosity equation: hierarchical radiosity and Galerkin radiosity. Although wavelet radiosity can reap the beneets of both methods, there is still a lot of overhead and in practice several problems occur. For example, using Haar wavelets the traditional push-pull scheme leads to obviously wrong results near common patch b...
متن کاملSpeeding up the radiosity rendering algorithm using the kernel-independent FMM
For my project, I decided to apply the fast multiple method (FMM) to the radiosity rendering algorithm. The radiosity rendering algorithm is a technique for creating photorealistic images. Introduced in [1], it works by treating light as radiated power, and looking for an equilibrium in power transfer among diffuse surfaces. A more efficient implementation was introduced in [2], and the algorit...

We describe a method for exploiting commodity 3D graphics hardware in order to achieve hardware-accelerated high-quality filtering with arbitrary filter kernels. Our approach is based on reordering the evaluation of the filter convolution sum to accommodate the way the hardware works. We exploit multiple rendering passes together with the capability of current graphics hardware to index into se...
متن کاملEfficient object-based hierarchical radiosity methods
The efficient generation of photorealistic images is one of the main subjects in the field of computer graphics. In contrast to simple image generation which is directly supported by standard 3D graphics hardware, photorealistic image synthesis strongly adheres to the physics describing the flow of light in a given environment. By simulating the energy flow in a 3D scene global effects like sha...
