Importance sampling for volumetric illumination of flames

Physically based rendering of scenes with volumetric illumination of flames remains a challenging problem due to the complexity of their heterogeneous radiative properties. Current bidirectional importance sampling strategies have been focusing on emissive light sources without anisotropic extinction. In this paper, we present an efficient importance sampling method for volumetric light sources with anisotropic extinction. According to the radiative properties of flames, we separate the computation of anisotropic extinction from the evaluation of illumination inside flames and utilize cluster-based hierarchies to rapidly estimate them. To exploit the coherence of radiative voxels, we also propose a new similarity metric to aggregate voxels into clusters. For each pixel to be shaded, we use these clusters to rapidly approximate the importance function of voxels, and draw final illumination samples from clusters. Our results show that this approach substantially reduces the variance of images when rendering scenes with flames.

Quantitative comparison between full-spectrum and filter-based imaging in hyperspectral fluorescence microscopy

We implement a filterless illumination scheme on a hyperspectral fluorescence microscope to achieve full-range spectral imaging. The microscope employs polarisation filtering, spatial filtering and spectral unmixing filtering to replace the role of traditional filters. Quantitative comparisons between full-spectrum and filter-based microscopy are provided in the context of signal dynamic range and accuracy of measured fluorophores' emission spectra. To show potential applications, a five-colour cell immunofluorescence imaging experiment is theoretically simulated. Simulation results indicate that the use of proposed full-spectrum imaging technique may result in three times improvement in signal dynamic range compared to that can be achieved in the filter-based imaging.

BRDF Measurement Modelling using Wavelets for Efficient Path Tracing

Physically based rendering needs numerical models from real measurements, or analytical models from material definitions, of the Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF). However, measured BRDF data sets are too large and provide no functionalities to be practically used in Monte Carlo path tracing algorithms. In this paper, we present a wavelet‐based generic BRDF model suitable for both physical analysis and path tracing. The model is based on the separation of spectral and geometrical aspect of the BRDF and allows a compact and efficient representation of isotropic, anisotropic and/or spectral BRDFs. After a brief survey of BRDF and wavelet theory, we present our software architecture for generic wavelet transform and how to use it to model BRDFs. Then, modelling results are presented on real and virtual BRDF measurements. Finally, we show how to exploit the multiresolution property of the wavelet encoding to reduce the variance by importance sampling in a path tracing algorithm.
