Radiosity and hybrid methods

We examine various solutions to the global illumination problem, based on an exact mathematical analysis of the rendering equation. In addition to introducing efficient radiosity algorithms, we present a uniform approach to reformulate all of the basic radiosity equations used so far. Using hybrid methods we are able to analyze possible combinations of the view-dependent ray-tracing method and of the low-resolution radiosity-based method, and to offer new algorithms.
