ABSTRACT
The shadow volume algorithm of Frank Crow was reorganized to provide information on the regions of illuminated space in front of each visible surface. This information is used to calculate the extra intensity due to atmospheric scattering, so when the atmosphere is partly in shadow, columns of scattered light will be visible. For efficiency in sorting the shadow edges, the image is computed in polar coordinates.

Illumination from Shadows
In this paper, we introduce a method for recovering an illumination distribution of a scene from image brightness inside shadows cast by an object of known shape in the scene. In a natural illumination condition, a scene includes both direct and ...
Illumination distribution from shadows
Modelling from realityThe image irradiance of a three-dimensional object is known to be the function of three components: the distribution of light sources, the shape, and reflectance of a real object surface. In the past, recovering the shape and reflectance of an object ...
A hybrid approach to interactive global illumination and soft shadows
We present a hybrid approach to simulate global illumination and soft shadows at interactive frame rates. The strengths of hardware-accelerated GPU techniques are combined with CPU methods to achieve physically consistent results while maintaining ...
