....for scenes including participating media. This chapter will include the study of the methods that perform the single scattering approximation (see Section 2) and also the study of the ones that take into account multiple scattering. We will base the study of the latest on our survey of 97 [26], extended to include any method that did not exist at that moment. 2 Chapter 4: First Pass: Computation of a Coarse Solution In our first pass a rough estimate of the global illumination is computed quickly. Knowing the benefits of hierarchical approaches, which started in the beginning of the ....

.... Media Resolution Methods We did review the most significative algorithms which deal with scenes including anisotropically scattering media and multiple scattering, with the notable exception of the photon map approach by Jensen and Christensen [13] which appeared after the date of our study [26]. In our survey the existing methods were characterized by identifying their base techniques, assumptions, limitations and range of utilization. This chapter will include not only that study, but will also consider the photon map approach. For completeness, it will also include the methods that ....

.... methods use implicit representations of directional distribution of light [17, 27] Stochastic methods include algorithms using Monte Carlo techniques [3, 9, 18] and more recent methods exploiting photon maps [7] A detailed overview of most previous methods can be found in the Perez et al. paper [19]. All these techniques produce very realistic images of participating media but, as they consider all the possible light interactions, they suffer of a long computation time. Older methods [2, 8] focus on simpler light interactions, considering only single scattering. With this approach, and ....

....on the rendering of bubbles and liquid foams in computer graphics has mainly focused on the modelling and rendering of single bubbles or small clusters of bubbles. The other extreme, a dense foam viewed from a large distance, could be rendered using multiple scattering techniques as described in [18], thus ignoring the internal structure of the foam completely. Our work lies somewhere between these extreme cases. The compromise between physics and heuristics we take in our model works quite well for foams with several thousand bubbles, viewed from moderate distance. A promising area for ....

.... coalescing collinear shadow rays into one (cf. 1] A restricted form of this technique is used to provide shadowing in the Heidelberg ray tracing model [12] While volumetric shadowing has a recognizable coherence, general global illumination as a solution to the volumetric transport operator [9, 15] contains little apparent coherence. Radiosity simplifies the general nature of reflections (i.e. presumes a diffuse BRDF) to allow efficient re use of light transport sub paths. When efforts to re use computation are impossible, significant savings can be had by re organizing the computation for ....

....Earlier, an equation for volume rendering (Equation 1.3) was derived from the rendering equation. Here, we develop an equation for volume rendering based on a sounder physical model. We can consider the interaction of a volume element with a beam of light. The following derivation is based on [58] and [54] Just as in physics, 14 Absorption Out scattering Emission In scattering Figure 3.1: The four forms of raidnace transport through a differential volume element. in which a free body diagram is used to isolate the complete inflow and outflow of energy, we can isolate a differential ....

....is an important part of the overall illumination. Clouds, for instance, are primarily illuminated by multiple scattering since they have a high scattering albedo# . Various methods have been proposed to solve the integral transport equation to include the effects of multiple scattering effects [58]. There are both deterministic and stochastic solution methods. Radiosity is a deterministic method and Monte Carlo path tracing is a stochastic method. The difference between the two is just a matter of extremes; any deterministic method can be refined by randomized increase in resolution or ....

....the Monte Carlo computation, importance sampling can be used, by setting probability density functions (pdf s) that resemble the integrand of the integral equation to solve. 1 2 Previous work Several algorithms that deal with scenes including anisotropically scattering media are reviewed in [19] (with the exception of the photon map approach [10] which is more recent) Deterministic methods have the advantage of being fast, but they consume high amounts of memory and give biased results. On the other hand, stochastic methods consume less memory and are capable of obtaining unbiased ....
