Radiative Transfer Networks Revisited
Ian E. Ashdown · Journal of the Illuminating Engineering Society · 2002
Radiative flux transfer between Lambertian surfaces can be described in terms of linear resistive with voltage sources. In this paper we examine how these transfer networks provide a physical interpretation for the eigenvectors of form factor matrices. This leads to a novel approach to photorealistic image synthesis and radiative transfer analysis called eigenvector radiosity.
