SUMMARY:Sky Modeling and Efficient Sampling - Thomas Bashford Rogers

CONTACT:Isak Herman
DESCRIPTION:The sky is one of the most common light sources in realistic i
 mage synthesis. When using the sky as a light source\, there are two separ
 ate challenges. The first is how to model the sky radiance\, and the secon
 d is how to efficiently use the sky as a light source to light a synthetic
  environment. This talk will discuss potential solutions to these challeng
 es: a fast and accurate approximation approach for estimating sky radiance
  based on machine learning\, and a method for efficient and unbiased impor
 tance sampling for lighting with Monte Carlo ray tracing
