In this technique for importance sampling large collections of lights, a bounding-volume hierarchy over all lights is traversed at each shading point using a single random number with an adaptive sampling rate in a way that importance samples their predicted contribution.

This work precomputes the result of multiple scattering events, assuming an infinite medium, and stores it in two precomputed 4D tables that can be used with many rendering algorithms, such as VRL, unified point beams and paths, or manifold-exploration metropolis light transport, greatly reducing the convergence time.

This talk proposes a novel representation of the light field tailored to improve importance sampling for Monte Carlo rendering. The data structure is based on Double Trees, supports many local models, and can be efficiently queried and progressively refined with an arbitrary number of photons.
