    • Fast Extraction of BRDFs and Material Maps from Images 

      Jaroszkiewicz, Rafal (University of Waterloo, 2003)
      The bidirectional reflectance distribution function has a four dimensional parameter space and such high dimensionality makes it impractical to use it directly in hardware rendering. When a BRDF has no analytical ...
    • Fast Ray Tracing Techniques 

      Tsakok, John (University of Waterloo, 2008-09-02)
      In the past, ray tracing has been used widely in offline rendering applications since it provided the ability to better capture high quality secondary effects such as reflection, refraction and shadows. Such effects are ...
    • Rendering as Critical Reflection: On the visual production of architecture in China and the West 

      He, Celia (University of Waterloo, 2021-09-24)
      This thesis reflects on our thoughts and actions towards the proliferation and use of photorealistic rendering by the architectural profession in China and the West, both of which actively engage in this form of image ...
    • Single-pass stratified importance resampling 

      Ciklabakkal, Ege (University of Waterloo, 2022-09-08)
      Simulating the behavior of light to produce realistic images involves evaluation of difficult integrals. Monte Carlo integration is a general method to estimate such integrals and is therefore widely used in physically ...
