Spherical Sampling by Archimedes' Theorem
暂无分享,去创建一个
In this paper we present a simple and efficient algorithm for generating uniformaly distributed samples on the unit sphere based on an Archimedes' theorem. The implementation is straightforward and may be easily extended to include stratified sampling for variance reduction. Applications in image synthesis include solid angle measurement, irradiance computation, and rendering equation solution for geometrically complex environments.
