Abstract: This report presents an extensive empirical comparison of matrix, progressive, and wavelet radiosity algorithms for simulating diffuse interreflection in three-dimensional scenes. The algorithms are tested in their basic forms, without advanced variations such as clustering, discontinuity meshing, or Monte Carlo techniques. The three algorithms were implemented in a common code base to facilitate direct empirical comparison. A number of parameterized scenes were designed to test the basic... (Update)

...of CPU time. The radiosity and testing software comprises 40,000 lines of C code. A more complete report on the full study is available [18]; in this paper we summarize the most important results for progressive and wavelet radiosity. 2 Experimental Method Designing the tests...

.... Radiosity It has been observed that, particularly with wavelet radiosity, the cost of storing transport links can be prohibitive [Will97b, Will97a]. The overhead per link goes up as , where is the order of the wavelet al.gorithm used, whereas the over Figure 10: Hierarchical...
