  9. Previous Work-Numerical • Monte Carlo Ray Tracing Methods [Kajiya and Herzen 1984], [Max 1994], [Jensen 2001]… Impressive effects, but slow

  10. Our Practical Contributions • Explicit compact airlight and surface radiance formula • Simple fragment shader • Need only specify one parameter-fog density • Fully interactive

  12. Previous Work-Numerical • Hardware-accelerated Numerical Methods [ Dobashi et al. 2002 ], [ Riley et al. 2004 ], [ Harris and Lastra 2001] …. - Specialized for skies or clouds - Expensive pre-computation for each scene • - Quality limited by sampling plane • - Does not handle effects of scattering on surface radiance

  13. Inside Media Previous Work-Analytical • Subsurface scattering, airlight with directional light [ Stam 1995 ], [ Jensen et al. 2001], [ Hanrahan et al. 1993] Quite different problems…

  14. Previous Work-Analytical • Subsurface scattering, airlight with directional light [ Stam 1995 ], [ Jensen et al. 2001], [ Hanrahan et al. 1993] Quite different problems… • Glows around point sources [ Max 1986 ], [ Biri 2004 ], [ Narasimhan and Nayar 2003]… • - Not extendable to surface radiance and complex lighting • - Severe approximations which are not feasible in many cases.

  15. Assumptions Assumptions: • Isotropic point light sources • Homogenous media (need only specify the density of the media) • Single scattering • No volumetric shadows

  38. BRDF Complex Lighting and Material • Rendering time is linear in the number of lights. What about complex Lighting and arbitrary BRDFs? Viewer, v Surface Point, p

  39. Intensity Intensity Intensity Angles PSF Angular Component Amplitude Component Angles Point Spread Function • Assume equidistant point sources • Scattering is essentially Point Spread Function (PSF). • Change the medium parameters interactively.

  40. Complex Materials • Convolution with arbitrary tabulated BRDFs in the frequency domain using spherical harmonics to get effective BRDFs. • Use effective BRDFs like how you use conventional BRDFs! Clear Day Foggy Day
