A dissertation submitted to the
Hungarian Academy of Sciences
in fulfillment of the requirements
for the degree of Doctor of Science
Abstract:
This thesis presents methods to efficiently solve
the global illumination problem of non-diffuse scenes. Particularly, it
proposes a non-diffuse global illumination algorithm that traces many global
parallel lines - called ray-bundles - simultaneously, taking advantage
of image coherence algorithms and the built-in rendering hardware. This
algorithm is capable to render glossy scenes of tens of thousand of triangles
in a few minutes on a PC.
Keywords:
Global illumination, Monte-Carlo quadrature, quasi-Monte
Carlo integration, random walk, stochastic iteration, global radiosity,
ray-bundle, glossy reflection, finite-element methods,
global visibility algorithms, first-shot methods.
