CS Other Presentations

Department of Computer Science - University of Cyprus

Besides Colloquiums, the Department of Computer Science at the University of Cyprus also holds Other Presentations (Research Seminars, PhD Defenses, Short Term Courses, Demonstrations, etc.). These presentations are given by scientists who aim to present preliminary results of their research work and/or other technical material. Other Presentations serve as a forum for educating Computer Science students and related announcements are disseminated to the Department of Computer Science (i.e., the csall list):

Abstract:
Global illumination methods in interactive applications are still of limited use due to the over-whelming computational cost of the solution of the Rendering equation. As there are several waysto approach the problem, our approximations concentrate on discretization methods of the problem domain. First we consider the creation of a discretized representation of the visibility function around an object, as the exact visibility computation is an expensive part of the Rendering equation to compute in real-time. Second we examine the creation of a discretized representation of the incoming light in order to estimate diffuse interactions from multiple light bounces. Finally, we investigate the creation of a discretized representation of the scene geometry and use it foraccumulating lighting information to be used for complex illumination calculations.
