WORLD-SPACE SPATIOTEMPORAL RESERVOIR REUSE FOR RAY-TRACED GLOBAL ILLUMINATION
Guillaume Boissé
Abstract
Path-traced global illumination of scenes with complex lighting remains particularly challenging at real-time framerates. Reservoir-based resampling methods for light sampling allow for significant noise reduction at the cost of very few shadow rays per pixel. However, current image-space approaches to reservoir reuse do not scale to sample lighting at further bounces, as is required for efficiently evaluating indirect illumination.
