This research focuses on enhancing the realism of specular and glossy reflections in real-time rendering using efficient second-order feed-forward techniques. By improving upon existing ray-tracing and reflection mapping methods, the algorithm can accurately simulate reflections from various surfaces, including planar reflectors and concave mirrors. The approach involves generating impostors based on scene clusters and intersection points, resulting in high-quality glossy effects comparable to traditional ray-tracing while achieving superior performance. With potential applications in interactive graphics and gaming, the proposed method addresses limitations such as disocclusion errors and scene partitioning while paving the way for future advancements in cone tracing and LOD optimization of depth images.
