....part of implementing Arvo s simulation method is tracking the power through the environment. An natural choice for tracking the power is to use ray tracing. However, it is not so obvious how many rays to send, or where to send them. This question has been examined in a fairly sophisticated way in [17], but even for a simple implementation the answer is non obvious. The number of rays that must be sent is enough . This depends on how much noise is acceptable in an image, and how small the zones are. In [41] it is argued that the number of rays should be linearly proportional to the number of ....

....and path tracing only use paths starting from the camera and ending on a light source. However, light paths can also be constructed starting from a light source and ending on the camera. This is often referred to in graphics as backward ray tracing [Arv86] Bidirectional path tracing [VG94, LW93, Hec90] further generalizes this idea by generating paths composed of one segment starting from the light and another starting from the camera. We will refer to all such techniques that rely on explicit construction of paths (per pixel) connecting the camera to the light source as path tracing ....

....and multi pass methods address this problem by computing and storing illumination in the scene in one or more preprocessing passes. A final Monte Carlo (or ray tracing) pass can use this illumination information. In this context, radiosity and light maps[1] have often been combined with ray tracing[3, 16] or (bidirectional) path tracing[19] An interesting two pass algorithm and storage method that uses photon maps was proposed by Jensen[6, 7, 10] In an initial Monte Carlo particle tracing pass, a number of photons are traced through the scene and stored individually in a kd tree. To reconstruct ....

....repeatedly during lighting reconstruction, is very fast even if photons hit mesh elements of separate objects. Information stored in photon maps can be used to recover illumination received at each surface point, usually with help of the nearest neighbor method of photon density estimation [13, 6]. However, except for the locations where photon density is very high (i.e. there are many photons available for the estimator) the quality of the estimation may vary significantly enough to produce unpleasant artifacts. This is demonstrated in Fig. 1a, where severe artifacting is visible despite ....

....result, two separate so called photon maps are constructed, the first one is global photon map, the second caustic photon map. We can now use these photon maps to compute irradiance estimates in arbitrary scene locations. Usually the nearest neighbor method of photon density estimation is applied [10, 3]. In its simplest form, the density estimation at point p is performed by dividing the total energy of photons within a sphere (with radius r and centered at p) by the surface area #r . Radius r in adaptively enlarged until a predefined number N of photons in the corresponding sphere is found. ....

....caustics. The preprocessing step uses backward ray tracing (also known as light ray tracing, photon tracing) to emit photons towards the specular surfaces, photons get reflected and stored on the Lambertian surfaces as illumination maps, which are used as texture maps for caustics. Heckbert [39] adaptively subdivided the illumination map into area elements with a size corresponding to the local density of the photon hits. However, Illumination map can t be used with all objects since it requires describing the surfaces parametrically. Instead, Jensen et al. 45] stored all photon hits ....

....method and then doing the final rendering pass using the Monte Carlo method, for one extra directional bounce toward the viewpoint. Shirley [32] and Chen et al. 33] also use such a final Monte Carlo bounce in rendering images of interreflecting surfaces. These two references, and also Heckbert [34], propose caustic texture maps to capture directional interreflection propagated by Monte Carlo means from the light sources, and contributing to the final rendering pass. Thus rays propagating from the lights and rays propagating from the eye meet in the middle at the caustic map. This ....

....technique such as ray tracing (see section 2.1.3) this generates a full solution one that considers view dependent radiance features from that single viewpoint and is known as a two pass method. Heckbert introduced a classification system for describing the paths which light can follow[33]. The system uses regular expressions a concise way to represent a set of words formed from an alphabet. Three symbols are required for regular expressions: # denotes any number of repititions of the previous character; denotes one or more repititions of the previous character; j denotes ....

....to reduce the error. Hanrahan et al. developed an algorithm which subdivided mesh elements based upon the illumination gradient within that element[32] Heckbert used hierarchical techniques to store adaptive radiosity textures on surfaces when generating images using bidirectional ray tracing [33]. Hierarchical subdivision was later incorporated into particle tracing techniques by Tobler et al. and Bekaert et al. 77, 7] Due to the stochastic nature of Monte Carlo methods such as particle tracing, the radiosity approximation within a mesh element cannot be considered stable locally ....
