SUMMARY:Unbiased Caustics Rendering Guided by Representative Specular Path
 s
DESCRIPTION:Technical Papers\n\nUnbiased Caustics Rendering Guided by Repr
 esentative Specular Paths\n\nLi, Wang, Tu, Xu, Holzschuch...\n\nCaustics a
 re interesting patterns caused by the light being focused when reflecting 
 off glossy materials. Rendering them in Computer Graphics is still challen
 ging: they correspond to high luminous intensity focused over a small area
 . Finding the paths that contribute to this small area is difficult, and e
 ven more difficult when using camera-based path tracing instead of bidirec
 tional approaches. Recent improvements in path guiding are still unable to
  compute efficiently the light paths that contribute to a caustic. In this
  paper, we present a novel path guiding approach to enable reliable render
 ing of caustics. Our approach relies on computing representative specular 
 paths, then extending them using a chain of spherical Gaussians. We use th
 ese extended paths to estimate the incident radiance distribution and guid
 e path tracing. We combine this approach with several practical strategies
 , such as spatial reusing and parallax-aware representation for arbitraril
 y curved reflectors. Our path-guided algorithm using extended specular pat
 hs outperforms current state-of-the-art methods and handles multiple bounc
 es of light and a variety of scenes.\n\nRegistration Category: FULL ACCESS
