Abstract:Abstract. In computer graphics, global illumination algorithms such as photon mapping require to gather large volumes of data which can be heavily redundant. We propose both a new characterization of useful data and a new optimization method for the photon mapping algorithm using structures borrowed from Artificial Intelligence such as autonomous agents. Our autonomous lighting agents efficiently gather large amounts of useful data and are used to make decisions during rendering. It induces less photons being … Show more
