Global illumination of glossy environments using wavelets and importance

Per H. Christensen, Eric J. Stollnitz, David H. Salesin, Tony D. DeRose
January 1996

We show how importance-driven refinement and a wavelet basis can be combined to provide an efficient solution to the global illumination problem with glossy and diffuse reflections. Importance is used to focus the computation on the interactions having the greatest impact on the visible solution. Wavelets are used to provide ... [more]
