The underlying method of importance sampling learns where radiance is coming from and in fact coincides with reinforcement learning. The cost for the improvement is a data structure similar to irradiance volumes as used in realtime games.","PeriodicalId":163368,"journal":{"name":"ACM SIGGRAPH 2017 Talks","volume":"446 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129934576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
