Optimal Deterministic Mixture Sampling
January 2019 • Mateu Sbert, Vlastimil Havran, László Szirmay‐Kalos
Multiple Importance Sampling (MIS) can combine several sampling techniques preserving their advantages. For example, we can consider different Monte Carlo rendering methods generating light path samples proportionally only to certain factors of the integrand. MIS then becomes equivalent to the application of the mixture of individual sampling densities, thus can simultaneously mimic the densities of all considered techniques. The weights of the mixture sampling depends on how many samples are generated with each p…
