Abstract

In computer graphics, physically-based global illumination algorithms such as photon-mapping [2001] have a linear progression between complexity and quality. To a given quality, rendering time scales linearly with computer performances. With Moore's law call in question and increasing demand in quality, those algorithms need more and more optimisations.

Hardware-accelerated global illumination by image space photon mapping
HPG '09: Proceedings of the Conference on High Performance Graphics 2009

We describe an extension to photon mapping that recasts the most expensive steps of the algorithm -- the initial and final photon bounces -- as image-space operations amenable to GPU acceleration. This enables global illumination for real-time ...
An efficient GPU-based approach for interactive global illumination
SIGGRAPH '09: ACM SIGGRAPH 2009 papers

This paper presents a GPU-based method for interactive global illumination that integrates complex effects such as multi-bounce indirect lighting, glossy reflections, caustics, and arbitrary specular paths. Our method builds upon scattered data sampling ...
