--- _id: '7418' abstract: - lang: eng text: Multiple importance sampling (MIS) has become an indispensable tool in Monte Carlo rendering, widely accepted as a near-optimal solution for combining different sampling techniques. But an MIS combination, using the common balance or power heuristics, often results in an overly defensive estimator, leading to high variance. We show that by generalizing the MIS framework, variance can be substantially reduced. Specifically, we optimize one of the combined sampling techniques so as to decrease the overall variance of the resulting MIS estimator. We apply the approach to the computation of direct illumination due to an HDR environment map and to the computation of global illumination using a path guiding algorithm. The implementation can be as simple as subtracting a constant value from the tabulated sampling density done entirely in a preprocessing step. This produces a consistent noise reduction in all our tests with no negative influence on run time, no artifacts or bias, and no failure cases. article_number: '151' article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Ondřej full_name: Karlík, Ondřej last_name: Karlík - first_name: Martin full_name: Šik, Martin last_name: Šik - first_name: Petr full_name: Vévoda, Petr last_name: Vévoda - first_name: Tomas full_name: Skrivan, Tomas id: 486A5A46-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Skrivan - first_name: Jaroslav full_name: Křivánek, Jaroslav last_name: Křivánek citation: ama: 'Karlík O, Šik M, Vévoda P, Skrivan T, Křivánek J.

To improve performance, the subsequent narrow band FLIP method (NB‐FLIP) uses a FLIP‐based fluid simulation only near the liquid surface and a traditional grid‐based fluid simulation away from the surface. This spatially‐limited FLIP simulation significantly reduces the number of particles and alleviates a computational bottleneck. In this paper, we extend the NB‐FLIP idea even further, by allowing a simulation to transition between a FLIP‐like fluid simulation and a grid‐based simulation in arbitrary locations, not just near the surface. This approach leads to even more savings in memory and computation, because we can concentrate the particles only in areas where they are needed. More importantly, this new method allows us to seamlessly transition to smooth implicit surface geometry wherever the particle‐based simulation is unnecessary. Consequently, our method leads to a practical algorithm for avoiding the noisy surface artifacts associated with particle‐based liquid simulations, while simultaneously maintaining the benefits of a FLIP simulation in regions of dynamic motion. alternative_title: - Eurographics article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Takahiro full_name: Sato, Takahiro last_name: Sato - first_name: Christopher J full_name: Wojtan, Christopher J id: 3C61F1D2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Wojtan orcid: 0000-0001-6646-5546 - first_name: Nils full_name: Thuerey, Nils last_name: Thuerey - first_name: Takeo full_name: Igarashi, Takeo last_name: Igarashi - first_name: Ryoichi full_name: Ando, Ryoichi last_name: Ando citation: ama: Sato T, Wojtan C, Thuerey N, Igarashi T, Ando R.

This paper attempts to bridge this long-standing gap between complexity and performance, by proposing a new wave simulation method that can faithfully simulate wave interactions with moving obstacles in real time while simultaneously preserving minute details and accommodating very large simulation domains.\r\n\r\nPrevious methods for simulating 2D water waves directly compute the change in height of the water surface, a strategy which imposes limitations based on the CFL condition (fast moving waves require small time steps) and Nyquist's limit (small wave details require closely-spaced simulation variables). This paper proposes a novel wavelet transformation that discretizes the liquid motion in terms of amplitude-like functions that vary over space, frequency, and direction, effectively generalizing Fourier-based methods to handle local interactions. Because these new variables change much more slowly over space than the original water height function, our change of variables drastically reduces the limitations of the CFL condition and Nyquist limit, allowing us to simulate highly detailed water waves at very large visual resolutions. Our discretization is amenable to fast summation and easy to parallelize. We also present basic extensions like pre-computed wave paths and two-way solid fluid coupling. Finally, we argue that our discretization provides a convenient set of variables for artistic manipulation, which we illustrate with a novel wave-painting interface." acknowledged_ssus: - _id: ScienComp alternative_title: - SIGGRAPH article_number: '94' article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Stefan full_name: Jeschke, Stefan id: 44D6411A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Jeschke - first_name: Tomas full_name: Skrivan, Tomas id: 486A5A46-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Skrivan - first_name: Matthias full_name: Mueller Fischer, Matthias last_name: Mueller Fischer - first_name: Nuttapong full_name: Chentanez, Nuttapong last_name: Chentanez - first_name: Miles full_name: Macklin, Miles last_name: Macklin - first_name: Christopher J full_name: Wojtan, Christopher J id: 3C61F1D2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Wojtan orcid: 0000-0001-6646-5546 citation: ama: Jeschke S, Skrivan T, Mueller Fischer M, Chentanez N, Macklin M, Wojtan C.
