GENERALIZED RADIOSITY METHOD FOR ENVIRONMENTS WITH CURVED SURFACES
Eng Q · 1992
A generalized radiosity method based on the theory of light energy transfer between two differential diffuse surface areas is presented.Unlike the conventional one,our method assumes radiosity to be variable with each surface patch.By limiting the unknowns to radiosities of differential surface areas located at all vertices of surface patches,we have established a complete set of approximated radiosity equations.The generalized radiosity equation has been extended to non-diffuse environments.Theoretical analysis and experimental results demonstrate the great potential of this method.
