Wavelets for Computer Graphics: Theory and Applications

Eric J. Stollnitz, Tony D. DeRose, David H. Salesin
June 1996

From the Back Cover: This distinctly accessible introduction to wavelets provides computer graphics professionals and researchers with the mathematical foundations for understanding and applying this powerful tool.

Wavelets are rapidly becoming a core technique in computer graphics, with applications for: Image editing and compression; Automatic level-of-detail control for editing and rendering ... [more]

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]
