Investigation of light pipe simulation algorithms | Anders Schou
| | Abstract | The subject of this thesis is to test whether progressive photon mapping and/or stochastic progressive photon mapping can be used in daylight simulations of interior of a room with a light pipe introducing natural lighting into the room. The algorithms tested (progressive photon mapping and stochastic progressive photon mapping), are both multi-pass algorithms that solves global illumination in a robust way with bounded memory consumption, while converging to the correct solution. To simulate the sky the CIE [DK02] standard sky patterns have been used which returns the luminance of an arbitrary sky element. In the tests a model of the VELUX TRM 010 Sun tunnel was used. The results obtained from progressive photon mapping and stochastic progressive photon mapping have been tested against the analytical solution HOLIGILM [KDK08], and an implementation of path tracing. | | Type | Bachelor thesis [Industrial collaboration] | | Year | 2012 | | Publisher | Technical University of Denmark, DTU Informatics, E-mail: reception@imm.dtu.dk | | Address | Asmussens Alle, Building 305, DK-2800 Kgs.
