In pursuit of this goal, many recent engines resort to some form of light probes baked in a precomputation sta ge. Unfortunately, the GI effects stemming from the precomputed probes are rather limited due to the constraints in the probe storage, representatio n or query. In this paper, we propose a neural method for probe-based GI r endering which can generate a wide range of GI effects, including glossy r eflection with multiple bounces, in complex scenes. The key contributions behind our work include a gradient-based search algorithm and a neural ima ge reconstruction method. The search algorithm is designed to reproject th e probes' contents to any query viewpoint, without introducing parallax er rors, and converges fast to the optimal solution. The neural image reconst ruction method, based on a dedicated neural network and several G-buffers, tries to recover high-quality images from low-quality inputs due to limit ed resolution or (potential) low sampling rate of the probes. This neural method makes the generation of light probes efficient. Moreover, a tempora l reprojection strategy and a temporal loss are employed to improve tempor al stability for animation sequences. The whole pipeline runs in real-time (>30 frames per second) even for high-resolution (1920x1080) outputs, tha nks to the fast convergence rate of the gradient-based search algorithm an d a light-weight design of the neural network. Extensive experiments on mu ltiple complex scenes have been conducted to show the superiority of our m ethod over the state-of-the-arts.\n\nRegistration Category: FULL ACCESS, E XPERIENCE PLUS ACCESS, EXPERIENCE ACCESS, TRADE EXHIBITOR\n\nLanguage: ENG LISH\n\nFormat: IN-PERSON URL:https://sa2022.siggraph.org/en/full-program/?id=papers_222&sess=sess15 3 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
