Ray Tracing 4 Path TracingMonte Carlo Integration Definite intergral: $\int_{a}^{b}{f(x)dx}$ Random variable: $X_i\sim pdf(x)$ , pdf is the Probability Distribution Function Monte Carlo estimator: $F_N=\frac{1}{N}\sum_{i=1}^{N}{\frac{f(x_i)}{pdf(x_i)}}$ 我自己证明一下：中心极限定理，当 $ N\rightarrow \infty $ $\frac{1}{N}\sum_{i=1}^{N}{\frac{f(x_i)}{pdf(x_i)}}\rightarrow E(\frac{f(x_i)}{pdf(x_i)})$ $= \int_{a}^{b}{pdf(x_i)\times \frac{f(x_i)}{pdf(x_i)}}dx$ $=\int_{a}^{b}{f(x_i)}dx$ $& ...

14 Ray Tracing 2 AccelerateAcceleration: Bounding Volumes Ray-Intersection With a Box Understanding : box is the intersection of 3 pairs of slabs. Axis-Aligned Bounding Box: AABB 轴对齐包围盒 光线进入所有包围面，进入盒子。出去其中一个包围面，出去包围盒。 $t_{enter}=max{t_{min}}, t_{exit}=min{t_{max}}$ If $t_{enter}<t_{exit}$, ray stay a while in the box. $t_{enter}<t_{exit} and t_{exit}>=0$, ray and AABB intersection. Grid Solution: 在bounding box 里面再弄一堆格子 Spatial Partitioning Examples Oct-Tree KD-Tree BSP- ...

13 Ray Tracing 1 Whitted-StyleShadow Mapping before we move onTBD Whitted-Style Ray TracingTBD Why Ray Tracing? Rasterization couldn’t handle global effects well Soft shadow Light bounces more than once Ray Tracing is accurate, but is very slow Rasterization: real-time, ray tracing: offline ~10k CPU core hours to render one frame in production. Definition: Light Rays: Light travels in straight lines 直线传播 Light rays do not collide with each other if they cross 不相互影响 Light rays travel from th ...
