Abstract

Jaroslav Křivánek's research aimed at finding the one robust and efficient light transport simulation algorithm that would handle any given scene with any complexity of transport. He had a clear and unique vision of how to reach this ambitious goal. On his way, he created an impressive track of significant research contributions. In this course, his collaborators will tell the story of Jaroslav's quest for that "one" algorithm and discuss his impact and legacy.
