  1. Structured Importance Sampling of Environment Maps Agarwal, S., R. Ramamoorthi, S. Belongie, and H. W. Jensen

  2. Outline • Monte Carlo Sampling and Importance metric • Variance Analysis for Visibility • Hierarchical Environment Map Stratification • Rendering Optimizations

  3. Monte Carlo Sampling and Importance • Area based stratified sampling • Illumination-based importance sampling

  4. Importance Metric • Illumination-based importance sampling • ( a=1 b=0 ) • Area based stratified sampling • ( a=0 b=1 )

  5. Variance Analysis for Visibility • (variance) (empirical)

  6. Variance Analysis for Visibility • Correlation model for visibility

  7. Variance Analysis for Visibility • Mean visibility = ½ (assuming) P(S=0) = P(S=1) = ½ θ-> 0 , α(θ) = 1 θbecomes large α(θ) = ½ (T is the correlation angle)
