IGI: Technical Explanation
§Estimates the incident radiances of the surfaces in a scene. §Radiance estimate used to estimate the reflectance properties of the surfaces in the scene, by an iterative procedure §Reflectance property estimates can then be used re-estimate the incident radiances
§Input to the algorithm:
§geometric model of the scene
§a set of radiance maps taken under known direct illumination
§a partitioning of the scene into areas of similar non-diffuse reflectance properties used to estimate the reflectance properties of the surfaces in the scene, by an iterative procedure
