Abstract

This paper presents a new Monte Carlo computational way for solving global illumination problem. In this way, plenty of unbiased estimators can be employed to enrich the solutions so as to lead to simple error control and to speed up the estimation. The implementation of a so-called potential tracing algorithm on the basis of the new scheme has been carried out. Results, which have been obtained by rendering test scenes, show that this new framework is promising.
