On-line learning of parametric mixture models for light transport simulation
TL;DR: This work proposes to represent the distributions for sampling scattering directions and light emission by a parametric mixture model trained in an on-line (i.e. progressive) manner from a potentially infinite stream of particles that enables recovering good sampling distributions in scenes with complex lighting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Product importance sampling for light transport path guiding
TL;DR: This work proposes to represent the illumination and the reflectance factors by the Gaussian mixture model (GMM), which is fit by using a combination of weighted expectation maximization and non‐linear optimization methods and shows that it can lead to significantly better convergence in scenes with complex illumination and reflectance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adjoint-driven Russian roulette and splitting in light transport simulation
Jiří Vorba,Jaroslav Křivánek +1 more
TL;DR: Like in neutron transport, this approach estimates the expected contribution of a path as the product of the path weight and a pre-computed estimate of the adjoint transport solution, and generates so-called weight window which keeps the path contribution roughly constant through RR and splitting.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Path guiding in production
Jiří Vorba,Johannes Hanika,Sebastian Herholz,Thomas Müller,Jaroslav Křivánek,Alexander Keller +5 more
TL;DR: The goal of this course is to share the practical experience with path guiding in production and to provide self-contained overview of recently published techniques and to discuss their pros and cons.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Spatial Target Function for Metropolis Photon Tracing
Adrien Gruson,Mickaël Ribardière,Martin Šik,Jiří Vorba,Rémi Cozot,Kadi Bouatouch,Jaroslav Křivánek +6 more
TL;DR: This work presents a new target function (TF) for Metropolis photon tracing that ensures good stratification of photons leading to pixel estimates with equalized relative error, and develops a hierarchical scheme for progressive construction of the TF from paths sampled during rendering.
