Rendu et Illumination Globale en Temps Réel------- Rendering and Global illumination in Real-Time |
Description (about
10 lignes) : The targetted objective is real time rendering and real-time golbal illumination computation for static and dynamic scenes. The first objective is real-time high fidelity rendering of dynamic scenes. Rendering complex scenes using a classical graphics pipeline (Z-buffering, Phong's shading model, multitexturing, etc.) can be efficiently performed with commodity graphics cards. However, real-time rendering of scenes, for which global illumination is computed, still is a challenge for many researchers. Indeed, global illumination followed by a rendering step (that we call high fidelity rendering) is a demanding process in terms of computing and memory resources. The approch proposed in this collaboration has to intensively exploit the performances of the new graphics cards to meet the real-time constraint. The second objective is to extend our global illumination algorithms to volumetric data such as medical images and other semi-transparent objects. Light transport in such objects must account for: multiple scattering, attenuation effects, etc. Computing and rendering these effects amounts to solve the radiative transfer equation which is very time consuming. Realistic and fast approximations are needed. |
This was the second year of the extended associate team. Indeed, the university of UTAH has joined us for a new adenture. |
In 2009 we have addressed the following topics : (1) Real-time rendering of natural scenes (2) Real-time rendering of globally illuminated volume data, (3) A Bayesian Monte Carlo Approach to Global Illumination.
