Abstract

In this work we consider the rendering equation derived from the illumination model called Cook-Torrance model. A Monte Carlo (MC) estimator for numerical treatment of the this equation, which is the Fredholm integral equation of second kind, is constructed and studied.

Supported by the EC through SEE-GRID project grant # RI-2002-002356 and by the NSF of Bulgaria through grant # I-1201/02.
