ABSTRACT
Directional regularization offers great potential to improve the convergence rates of Monte-Carlo-based global illumination algorithms. In this paper, we show how it can be applied successfully by combining unbiased bidirectional strategies, photon mapping, and biased directional regularization.

An efficient GPU-based approach for interactive global illumination
SIGGRAPH '09: ACM SIGGRAPH 2009 papersThis 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 ...
Hardware-accelerated global illumination by image space photon mapping
HPG '09: Proceedings of the Conference on High Performance Graphics 2009We 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 ...
