                 finite element methods to the computation of global
                 illumination of complex scenes. Both computation time
                 and memory consumption can be reduced dramatically by
                 grouping the primitives of the input scene into a
                 hierarchy of clusters and allowing for light exchange
                 between all levels of this hierarchy. One problem with
                 clustering methods, however, has been to determine good
                 bounds on the exchange of light between nodes in the
                 hierarchy. In this paper, we propose a set of methods
                 applicable to both clusters and surface patches that
                 allows for computing conservative but tight error
                 bounds on the light transport between clusters and
                 surface patches. Their intrinsic properties can be
                 exploited by splitting the computation of bounds into a
                 set of related methods, applicable to any object. The
                 resulting algorithm abstracts from the nature of the
                 interacting objects -- light transport between
                 clusters, planar patches and even curved surfaces can
                 be efficiently approximated and bound by a single set
                 of methods.",

  abstract =     "Although Hierarchical Radiosity was a big step forward
                 for finite element computations in the context of
                 global illumination, the algorithm can hardly cope with
                 scenes of more than medium complexity. The reason is
                 that Hierarchical Radiosity requires an initial linking
                 step, comparing all pairs of initial objects in the
                 scene. These initial objects are then hierarchically
                 subdivided in order to accurately represent the light
                 transport between them. Isotropic Clustering, as
                 introduced by Sillion, in addition creates a hierarchy
                 above the input objects. Thus, it allows for the
                 interaction of complete clusters of objects and avoids
                 the costly initial linking step. In this paper, we
                 describe our implementation of the isotropic clustering
                 algorithm and discuss some of the problems that we

                 the powerful techniques which have been developed in
                 these fields can be applied to problems in image

                 ray tracing in the light of a well-known technique in

                 object and, as such, can be used to guide the placement
                 of the lines of a stroke texture that seeks to
                 represent 3D shape in a perceptually intuitive way. The
                 driving application for this work is the visualization
                 of layered isovalue surfaces in volume data, where the
                 particular identity of an individual surface is not
                 generally known a priori and observers will typically
                 wish to view a variety of different level surfaces from
                 the same distribution, superimposed over underlying
                 opaque structures. This paper describes how, by
                 advecting an evenly distributed set of tiny opaque
                 particles, and the empty space between them, via 3D
                 line integral convolution through the vector field
                 defined by the principal directions and principal
                 curvatures of the level surfaces passing through each
                 gridpoint of a 3D volume, it is possible to generate a
                 single scan-converted solid stroke texture that can be
                 used to illustrate the essential shape information of
                 any level surface in the data. By redefining the length
                 of the filter kernel according to the magnitude of the
                 maximum principal curvature of the level surface at
                 each point around which the convolution is applied, one
                 can generate longer strokes over more the highly curved
                 areas, where the directional information is both most
                 stable and most relevant, and at the same time downplay
                 the visual impact of the directional information
                 indicated by the stroke texture in the flatter regions.
                 In a voxel-based approach such as this one, stroke
                 narrowness will be constrained by the resolution of the
                 volume within which the texture is represented.
                 However, by adaptively indexing into multiple
                 pre-computed texture volumes, obtained by advecting
                 particles of increasing sizes, one may selectively
                 widen the strokes at any point by a variable amount,
                 determined at the time of rendering, to reflect shading
                 information or any other function defined over the

                 such solutions to be computed quickly and efficiently.
                 Firstly, a new technique for bouncing the error in the
                 transfer of radiosity between surfaces is discussed,
                 incorporating bounds on form factors, visibility,
                 irradiance, and reflectance over textured surfaces.
                 This technique is then applied to the problem of
                 bounding radiosity transfer between clusters of
                 surfaces, leading to a fast, practical clustering
                 algorithm that builds on the previous work of Sillion.
                 Volumes are used to represent clusters of small
                 surfaces, but unlike previous algorithms, the
                 orientations of surfaces inside each cluster are
                 accounted for in both the error bound and radiosity
                 transfer. This enables an accurate solution to be
                 generated very efficiently, and results are presented
                 demonstrating the performance of the algorithm on a
                 variety of complex models, one containing almost a
                 quarter of a million initial surfaces.",

                 light transport problem, inspired by the Metropolis
                 sampling method in computational physics. To render an
                 image, we generate a sequence of light transport paths
                 by randomly mutating a single current path (e.g. adding
                 a new vertex to the path). Each mutation is accepted or
                 rejected with a carefully chosen probability, to ensure
                 that paths are sampled according to the contribution
                 they make to the ideal image. We then estimate this
                 image by sampling many paths, and recording their
                 locations on the image plane. Our algorithm is
                 unbiased, handles general geometric and scattering
                 models, uses little storage, and can be orders of
                 magnitude more efficient than previous unbiased
                 approaches. It performs especially well on problems
                 that are usually considered difficult, e.g. those
                 involving bright indirect light, small geometric holes,
                 or glossy surfaces. Furthermore, it is competitive with
                 previous unbiased algorithms even for relatively simple
                 scenes. The key advantage of the Metropolis approach is
                 that the path space is explored locally, by favoring
                 mutations that make small changes to the current path.
                 This has several consequences. First, the average cost
                 per sample is small (typically only one or two rays).
                 Second, once an important path is found, the nearby
                 paths are explored as well, thus amortizing the expense
                 of finding such paths over many samples. Third, the
                 mutation set is easily extended. By constructing
                 mutations that preserve certain properties of the path
                 (e.g. which light source is used) while changing
                 others, we can exploit various kinds of coherence in
                 the scene. It is often possible to handle difficult
                 lighting problems efficiently by designing a
                 specialized mutation in this way.",

                 described approach both with respect to speed, accuracy
                 and versatility. In the first pass two photon maps are
                 created by emitting packets of energy (photons) from
                 the light sources and storing these as they hit
                 surfaces within the scene. We use one high resolution
                 caustics photon map to render caustics that are
                 visualized directly and one low resolution photon map
                 that is used during the rendering step. The scene is
                 rendered using a distribution ray tracing algorithm
                 optimized by using the information in the photon maps.
                 Shadow photons are used to render shadows more
                 efficiently and the directional information in the
                 photon map is used to generate more optimal sampling
                 directions and to limit the recursion in the
                 distribution ray tracer by providing an estimate of the
                 radiance on all surfaces with the exception of specular
                 and highly glossy surfaces. Noise and blur at
                 discontinuities in the radiance estimate is reduced by
                 using a cone filter. The results presented demonstrate
                 global illumination in scenes containing procedural
                 objects and surfaces with diffuse and glossy reflection
                 models. The implementation is also compared with the

                 rendering is almost impossible with the current
                 generation of computers and software. We describe the
                 implementation of a volume renderer for interactive
                 analysis of confocal images. We propose several
                 techniques to accelerate the rendering of grey-value
                 volumes. We propose to illuminate the volume
                 selectively with ray templates to get a proper shadow
                 cue in the shortest feasible time. In the viewing
                 phase, rendering is distinctively accelerated for four
                 user interactions: (1) a total change by successive
                 adaptive refinement, (2) an unknown change in the view

                 interpolation, (3) a known change in the view by
                 recalculating only that part and (4) a view translation

                 distributions, and groups of surfaces, or object
                 clusters. The new technique is based on a hierarchical
                 formulation of the zonal method, and efficiently
                 integrates volumes and surfaces. In particular no
                 initial linking stage is needed, even for inhomogeneous
                 volumes, thanks to the construction of a global spatial
                 hierarchy. An analogy between object clusters and
                 scattering volumes results in a powerful clustering
                 radiosity algorithm, with no initial linking between
                 surfaces and fast computation of average visibility

                 than isotropic clustering at a marginal cost. The
                 resulting algorithm is fast and, more importantly,
                 truly progressive as it allows the quick calculation of

                 use in computer graphics. However, models based on
                 measured reflectance data promise increased realism by
                 making it possible to simulate many more types of
                 surfaces to a greater level of accuracy than with
                 analytical models. They also require less expert
                 knowledge about the illumination models and their
                 parameters. There are a number of hurdles to using
                 measured reflectance functions, however. The data sets
                 are very large. A reflectance distribution function
                 sampled at five degrees angular resolution, arguably
                 sparse enough to miss highlights and other high
                 frequency effects, can easily require over a million
                 samples, which in turn amount to over four megabytes of
                 data. These data then also require some form of
                 interpolation and filtering to be used effectively. In
                 this paper, we examine issues of representation of
                 measured reflectance distribution functions. In
                 particular, we examine a wavelet basis representation
                 of reflectance functions, and the algorithms required
                 for efficient point-wise reconstruction of the BRDF. We
                 show that the nonstandard wavelet decomposition leads
                 to considerably more efficient algorithms than the
                 standard wavelet decomposition. We also show that
                 thresholding allows considerable improvement in running
                 times, without unduly sacrificing image quality.",

                 constructs a BSP-tree that hierarchically partitions

                 a walkthrough, images of nodes at various levels of the

  abstract =     "A number of techniques have been proposed for flying
                 through scenes by redisplaying previously rendered or
                 digitized views. Techniques have also been proposed for
                 interpolating between views by warping input images,
                 using depth information or correspondences between
                 multiple images. In this paper, we describe a simple
                 and robust method for generating new views from
                 arbitrary camera positions without depth information or
                 feature matching, simply by combining and resampling
                 the available images. The key to this technique lies in
                 interpreting the input images as 2D slices of a 4D
                 function - the light field. This function completely
                 characterizes the flow of light through unobstructed
                 space in a static scene with fixed illumination. We
                 describe a sampled representation for light fields that
                 allows for both efficient creation and display of
                 inward and outward looking views. We have created light
                 fields from large arrays of both rendered and digitized
                 images. The latter are acquired using a video camera
                 mounted on a computer-controlled gantry. Once a light
                 field has been created, new views may be constructed in
                 real time by extracting slices in appropriate
                 directions. Since the success of the method depends on
                 having a high sample rate, we describe a compression
                 system that is able to compress the light fields we
                 have generated by more than a factor of 100:1 with very
                 little loss of fidelity. We also address the issues of
                 antialiasing during creation, and resampling during
                 slice extraction.",

                 casting for rendering irregular grids, including
                 disconnected and nonconvex (even with holes)
                 unstructured irregular grids with a rendering cost that

                 Unfortunately, camera models used in Computer Graphics

                 derive an error bound for transfers between these

                 hierarchy of clusters, and then permits clusters to
                 interact only if the error bound is below an acceptable

                 been proposed as general methods of representing the

                 represent this information as a 4D function of light
                 over the domain of directed lines. These systems use
                 the intersection points of the lines on two planes to
                 parameterize the lines in space. This paper explores
                 the structure of the two-plane parameterization in
                 detail. In particular we analyze the association
                 between the geometry of the scene and subsets of the 4D
                 data. The answers to these questions are essential to
                 understanding the relationship between a lumigraph, and
                 the geometry that it attempts to represent. This

  abstract =     "A definitive understanding of irradiance behavior in
                 penumbral regions has been hard to come by, mainly due
                 to the computational expense of determining the visible
                 parts of an area light source. Consequently, sampling
                 strategies have been mostly ad hoc, and evaluation of
                 the resulting approximations has been difficult. In
                 this paper, the structure of penumbral irradiance is
                 investigated empirically and numerically. This study
                 has been made feasible by the use of the discontinuity
                 mesh and the backprojection, an efficient data
                 structure representing visibility in regions of partial
                 occlusion. Regions of penumbrae in which irradiance
                 varies nonmonotonically are characterized empirically,
                 and numerical tests are performed to determine the
                 frequency of their occurrence. This study inspired the
                 development of two algorithms for the construction of
                 interpolating approximations to irradiance: One
                 algorithm reduces the number of edges in the mesh
                 defining the interpolant domain, and the other
                 algorithm chooses among linear, quadratic, and mixed
                 interpolants based on irradiance monotonicity. Results
                 from numerical tests and images are presented that
                 demonstrate good performance of the new algorithms for
                 various realistic test configurations.",

                 rapid generation of sequences representing any
                 arbitrary path in a ``view space'' within an
                 environment in which both the viewer and objects move.
                 The global illumination is stored as time sequences of
                 range-images at base locations that span the view
                 space. We present algorithms for determining locations
                 for these base images, and the time steps required to
                 adequately capture the effects of object motion. We
                 also present algorithms for computing the global
                 illumination in the base images that exploit spatial
                 and temporal coherence by considering direct and

                 intermediate objects are constructed by a distance
                 field metamorphosis. In the presented method the
                 interpolation of the distance field is guided by a warp
                 function controlled by a set of corresponding anchor
                 points. Some rules for defining a smooth
                 least-distorting warp function are given. To reduce the
                 distortion of the intermediate shapes, the warp
                 function is decomposed into a rigid rotational part and
                 an elastic part. The distance field interpolation
                 method is modified so that the interpolation is done in
                 correlation with the warp function. The method provides
                 the animator with a technique that can be used to
                 create a set of models forming a smooth transition
                 between pairs of a given sequence of keyframe models.
