A Hierarchical Subdivision Algorithm for Stochastic Radiosity Methods

Eurographics Rendering Workshop, June 1997, pp. 193--204.

Abstract: The algorithm proposed in this paper uses a stochastic approach to incrementally calculate the illumination function over a surface. By tracking the illumination function at different levels of meshing resolution, it is possible to get a measure for the quality of the current representation, and to adoptively subdivide in places with inadequate accuracy. With this technique a hierarchical mesh that is based on the stochastic evaluation of global illumination is generated.
