    1. Caustics Generation by using Photon Mapping Presentation by Michael Kaiser and Christian Finger Advised by Dr. Marcus Magnor 13.02.2004 Light and Color in Nature Seminar, Max-Planck-Institut für Informatik

    2. Motivation Create nice pictures with translucent objects and rendering nice effects on diffuse surfaces.

    3. Overview Caustics Photon Mapping Results

    4. Light Transport Notation L Lightsource E Eye S Specular reflection D Diffuse reflection (k)+ one or more k events (k)* zero or more of k events (k)? zero or one k event (k|k’) a k or k’ event

    5. Caustics Caustics are formed when light reflected from or transmitted through one or more specular surfaces strikes a diffuse surface. In Light transport notation: LS+DE

    6. Comparisons Classical Ray Tracing LD?S*E Does not support Caustics. Path Tracing L(S|D)*E Would be qualified for simulating caustics. But: Probability of going through a series of LS+DE is small. Bidirectional Path Tracing L(S|D)*E Would be also qualified for simulating caustics. Produces correct pictures, unbiased solution. Takes too much time for same quality as photon mapping.

    7. Comparisons Radiosity Handles only diffuse reflections LD*E. Not suitable for rendering caustics. Photon Mapping Handles all kinds of reflections. It has the following possibilities: L(S|D)*D Good for Caustics.

    8. 2-Pass Algorithm First Pass: Generating a Global Photon Map and Caustic Map.

    9. Photon Maps Global Photon Map All Photons with property L(S|D)*D are stored. Caustic Map Only Photons with paths LS+D are directly stored. Application of a projection map.

    10. Photon Mapping Rendering equation is solved by a photon map. Density estimation

    11. Photon Mapping For the rendering part incoming radiance is divided into four parts:
