Andrew Tinits
Title : Adaptive Polynomial Rendering
Abstract:
I will be presenting the above paper from SIGGRAPH 2016, which claims to contain "a new adaptive rendering method to improve the performance of Monte Carlo ray tracing, by reducing noise in rendered images while preserving high-frequency edges. The method approximates an image with polynomial functions and minimizes reconstruction error by robustly estimating an optimal order of each polynomial function."
