Combining hierarchical radiosity and discontinuity meshing
We introduce a new approach for the computation of viewindependent solutions to the diffuse global illumination problem in polyhedral environments. The approach combines ideas fro...

A framework for the analysis of error in global illumination algorithms
In this paper we identify sources of error in global illumination algorithms and derive bounds for each distinct category. Errors arise from three sources: inaccuracies in the bou...

A fast shadow algorithm for area light sources using backprojection
The fast identification of shadow regions due to area light sources is necessary for realistic rendering and for discontinuity meshing for global illumination. A new shadow-determ...

Interactive pen-and-ink illustration
We present an interactive system for creating pen-and-ink illustrations. The system uses stroke textures--collections of strokes arranged in different patterns--to generate textur...

Estimating Page Fetches for Index Scans with Finite LRU Buffers
We describe an algorithm for estimating the number of page fetches for a partial or complete scan of a B-tree index. The algorithm obtains estimates for the number of page fetches ...
