On Making Light Maps Dynamic
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a real-time global illumination method for static scenes illuminated by arbitrary, dynamic light sources. The method consists of a preprocessing phase and a real-time rendering phase. The real-time rendering algorithm obtains the indirect illumination caused by the multiple scattering of the light from partial light paths that are precomputed and stored in the preprocessing phase. The starting points of partial light paths are called entry points and are sampled randomly on the surfaces. The end points of partial light paths, called exit points, correspond to texel centers of a texture atlas. During preprocessing the radiance of exit points are determined assuming that the entry point has unit irradiance, and the results are stored in texture maps, called Precomputed Radiance Maps. Precomputed Radiance Maps represent the self-illumination capabilities of the whole scene. Introducing light sources and the camera in the real-time animation phase, the direct illumination of the real light sources can be computed by evaluating local illumination at the entry points. Modulating the Precomputed Radiance Maps by the obtained entry point irradiance values, the indirect illumination due to multiple reflections can be calculated at the exit points. Adding the direct illumination, the global illumination solution can be obtained instantly even when the camera or the light sources move. The role of the proposed method in games and interactive applications is similar to that of light maps. It also renders indirect lighting of static geometry, but unlike light maps, it allows for dynamic lighting and updates indirect shadows and color bleeding effects when light sources move.

An Optimal Dynamic Control Method for an Isolated Intersection Using Fuzzy Systems
Traffic flow systems are nonlinear and uncertain, so it is very difficult to find their optimal points. In traditional traffic control systems, the traffic lights of crossings change in a fixed time period that is not optimal. On the other hand, most proposed systems are sufficiently capable of coping with the uncertainties of traffic flow. To solve this problem, there is a need to develop expe...
متن کاملShadow Mapping for Hemispherical and Omnidirectional Light Sources
In this paper we present a shadow mapping technique for hemispherical and omnidirectional light sources using dual-paraboloid mapping. In contrast to the traditional perspective projection this parameterization has the benefit that only a minimal number of rendering passes is needed during generation of the shadow maps, making the method suitable for dynamic environments and real time applicati...
متن کاملRange Image Acquisition of Objects with Non-Uniform Albedo Using Structured Light Range Sensor
We present a novel approach to acquisition of range images of objects with non-uniform albedo using a structured light sensor. The main idea is to systematically vary the intensity of the light projector and to form high dynamic scale radiance maps. The range images are then formed from these radiance maps. We tested the method on the objects which have surfaces with very different reflectance ...
