Photorealistic Image Rendering with Population Monte Carlo Energy RedistributionPhotorealistic Image Rendering with Population Monte Carlo Energy Redistribution This work presents a novel global illumination algorithm which concentrates computation on important light transport paths and automatically adjusts energy distributed area for each light transport path. We adapt statistical framework of Population Monte Carlo into global illumination to improve rendering efficiency.
