ABSTRACT
An image-space hierarchy is introduced to reduce artifacts from prematurely stopping in adaptive sampling in a Monte Carlo ray tracing context, while maintaining good performance and fitting into an existing sampling architecture.

Ray tracing-based interactive diffuse indirect illumination
Despite great efforts in recent years to accelerate global illumination computation, the real-time ray tracing of fully dynamic scenes to support photorealistic indirect illumination effects has yet to be achieved in computer graphics. In this paper, we ...
Ray tracing via GPU rasterization
Ray tracing is a dominant method for generating a wide variety of global illumination effects, such as reflections/refractions, shadows, etc. In this paper, we propose an efficient technique to perform nearly accurate ray tracing using the programmable ...
Multidimensional adaptive sampling and reconstruction for ray tracing
We present a new adaptive sampling strategy for ray tracing. Our technique is specifically designed to handle multidimensional sample domains, and it is well suited for efficiently generating images with effects such as soft shadows, motion blur, and ...
